So 90s drivers bring no performance boost (nor drop)... and they are currently offering limited new features (new Sedona control panel and more post processing for MPEG2 with PureVideo).

This benchmark confort me in my keep your driver until it crash way of life.

fensterbank, mavke from http://www.mvktech.net is in need of a GF Go 7600 VideoBIOS backup. It would help if you can provide a copy. Instructions how to backup can be found HERE or at his site.

For better optical result of your table try using a fixed font (like courier).

I have the same notebook with memory but i am not able to install new drivers ... I get an error message everytime i try to. The offical driver on acer hp has the version number 83.40. How did you install the new versions?

EXACTLY this is my question, too. Though I have a slightly different Hardware (ASUS A6T), the GPU is the same. Because some games don't work properly with the latest official driver from ASUS (84.66), I tried to install the latest beta version from NVidia ... but I get an error message that no compatible hardware can be found!

Could someone give me a hint how I can persuade my computer to accept the new drivers?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

merci bien! I found and read the hints and installed the 91.33 ... now the problems with the textures are gone.

Did you try also 91.48 and 84.71?

1.: Try to install the driver. The error message will appear.
2.: Download the .inf file and replace it in the C:\NVIDIA\xx.xx\ dir
3.: Start the setup.exe file

|..91.28...|....------....|.........------........|..--------..|..2320..| @ 450 MHz core, 400 MHz memory, mostly stable

how do you set the memory clock to 400 MHZ, i become an error if i set the over 381 MHZ..."the driver test failed to pass the internal test with the clock freq......"

[zipper]

Hardcore overclockers disable the internal test for instance with RivaTuner. My internal test coughs at 618 - 621 MHz (memory) but with disabled test the corruption comes visible on about 660 MHz.

I have this card and routinely get 800-900 marks using 3DMark06. Is there a simple explanation for this. I have more RAM and a faster processor so I'm assuming its not that.

Thanks.

I think you have a 64 bit one :S

My lappy:

MSI Megabook L735-075EU:

- AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-53 1.7GHZ
- Samsung 17" WXGA TFT Glare Type
- nForce Go 430 (MCP51M) Chipset
- 2 GB DDR II - 667
- HDD WD 160 GB Sata
- nVidia GeForce Go 7600 256MB GDDR3 (stock)(core: 450 Mhz)(memory: 500 Mhz (1000 Mhz effective))
- Zither NP-801 Evercool - cooling pad

The drivers involved in the test are release - 169.28 @ standard settings @ no OC @ NVtray optimizations

3DMark06 Score: 2458 3DMarks



I'll post the test with overclocked settings soon...

P.S. In my point of view - 169.28 is the most performance boosted drivers until that moment.

P.S.S. The same settings (no OC) with 175.80 - 2463 3DMarks

My laptop is an HP Pavilion dv9312tx. The specs are:

Intel Core 2 Duo T5300,1.73GHz

2048 MB DDR2 RAM,667MHz

256 MB GDDR2 NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600.

The stock values for core clock and memory clock are 450 MHz and 380 MHz (effective 761 MHz) respectively.

I am currently trying to overclock my GPU using Riva Tuner 2.08 on Vista Ultimate SP1 x64. Display driver is 167.43 from HP website.The 3D Mark 06 results for the core/memory values are as follows:



2262 -------- 450/380

2335 -------- 460/390

2381 -------- 470/400

2427 -------- 480/410

Till now I have not noticed any artifacts or any other discrepancies with my display. Will be soon updating my results.

I am new to this unofficial driver stuff, but I bought Call of Duty 2 to play with my kids on my laptop and it performs horribly!!! So after a bit of research, I arrived here. Here are my machine specs:

Hp Pavilion 9023us
Intel Core 2 CPU T5200, 1.60 gHz
XP Professional
2 GB RAM
nVidia GeForce Go 7600

I am looking for a better driver to help the performance of my machine. Can someone guide me on which one to use? I am a bit overwhelmed. Also, with a new driver is it reasonable to assume that it will perform good? I contacted Activision and they said their games are not made to play on laptops. Grrrr. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Mike

[Pran]

Drivers are a major factor in increased game performances. The drivers in the HP site for your model are very old (86.38) dating back to Aug 2006 but you can try them as well. The latest for XP are 174.93.
174.93 xp 32 bit.
As for the performance, you can check it out yourself because they perform variably on different laptops.Download the drivers and the modded inf. Then replace the inf of the downloaded drivers with which you have separately downloaded.

I've got a graphical problem thats been bugging me ever since I started playing TF2, curious to whether or not its driver related or hardware.

I'm able to run my games at pretty decent quality, but not matter what I randomly get these hiccups where my FPS will drop extremely low (9-19fps) on almost any game regardless of the quality (even lowest). It will stay like that for a minute or so then 'hiccup' back to normal fps (60+). I thought it was TF2 related at first but it seems to be happening to every game I try to play now (even morrowind, which I should have NO touble playing). Mainly just looking for the source of the problem, I've used quite a few different drivers and they all seem to do the same thing, even after reformatting my HD.

Basic specs-
Intel Core Duo t2400 1.83ghz (987mhz)
2 GB RAM
Geforce 7600 go 256mb

[zipper]

Typically heat problems do cause symptoms like this.

[Maldito-Kyo]

Typically heat problems do cause symptoms like this.

Due to a low fan speed.....which is usual now on 7600 Go.
There is no solution yet for this problem that i also have but check this thread for more informations and solutions
