With my XFX GF4 4200 128 MB, I just updated from 43.45 to 52.16, and my ram went from 523 to 545 with zero errors in Artifact Tester 5. I used to get artifacts with anything above 523. Now I get a few at 550, but none at 545. I just wanted to pass this along. My GPU is set at 290, but I have not pushed it any father.

I havent tried overclocking with these drivers yet, but I do believe I may have found a bug in them. When I went to a LAN Party over the weekend, both me and my friend had upgraded our drivers to the 52.16's whilst using a GF4 Ti4200. The problem was that when we played BF1942 the graphics began to mess up (e.g like if you looked down the floor lost its texture and just became a sheet of white). We both tried reinstalling BF1942 and the drivers but to no avail. Then I went back to the 43.45's and the problem was gone. He later did the same thing and it worked too. I usually trust any EHQL Nvidia drivers and find it strange that these new drivers should have problems with such a popular card and such a popular game. Im also surpeised no-one else has experienced this yet.
