nvidia has released 174.74 beta drivers for
ALL cards, Vista and XP, 32 & 64-bit.
In guru3d forums someone posted that this driver solved "texture corruption with old games".
I'm outside home till monday so could anyone give them a try and check if:
+ GLSL rendering (ie XT builds with normal mapping support enabled) renders fine.
AND
+ old rendering, (official 3.6.9. build,
newest 20080321 SVN trunk build or -no_glsl within Taylor's XT builds), is fixed again. So chess-board pattern artifacts or white & black lines instead of textures are gone.
(Please remember that mediavp 3.6.8zeta models and textures are more prone to these troubles than mediavp 3.6.10beta ones).
