You're sure about that having 84+ is in the danger of burning your card. Don't look at nvidia CP saying 90 is max
NO

80 is max

I'm keeping mine below 70 even overclocked.


I burned my card once already having 81 temp. This one is new and I'm setting it to below 70 only.

thX , 1 more thing to ask , after this installed driver , the temp jumps up about 10 degrees , is this driver give me the real temp info or the old one ?

Just tested , the temp can jumps up to 79 without overclock , what the heck ???

Can you Overclock on these with nTune?

also when you guys are talking about temperatures... are you taling in Celsius or Fareinhiet?

These drivers work really well for me. the best 169`s I have tried. Aquamark 85000 and 13300 3dmark 03. Yip I know these do not relate to gamepay that much but UT3 runs better than it has for a while!
Lucky peeps with the cool temps, 90 on load here. Laptop cooler needed me thinks but I`m not surprised at high temps in a laptop.

I see you got an Asus G1S as well, i got an G1S to and indeed the temperatures of the 8600M GT are HIGH i also get 90°C without overclock, when i overclock i get like 96°C... in this moth (december) i am going to buy a zalman notebook cooler


The Asus G1S is a GREAT laptop but the temperatures are to high...
I currently use the 169.21 driver, works good

It is a great laptop, I agree. For the price of a cooler there isn`t any reason to not try one is there? Has to be USB powered for me as I do use it pretty much on my lap, extra power cables I do not need.
What stable settings have you achieved on the o/c?

On this moment i OCed to 560/777 and it is STABLE.
But i only use OC when playing the newest games like cod4, crysis,...
When i'm playing games like the orange box (hl2, episode1,portal,...) i don't use OC.


BUT again, the temperature is the problem.
The zalman notebook cooler is really good (it's usb powered) and you can git it for like 40 euros (that's around 50 dollar i think )

Ok m8 will try those settings, £30 for me i.e the cooler btw

[Auvi]

560/777 on 8600GT and it`s stable......my video card it`s a 8600M GS,and im OC to 600/500,(and it`s not stable)thats 560 its GPU core? always memory clock must be greater than GPU core? and someone has 8600 GS with OC? i dont know the best configuration with OC, with 600/500(gpu core/memory clock) i have 2996 in 3D mark 06,but i dont know if it`s danger,i also going to buy a notebook cooler,because i get 90º with Crysis,but im playing good .

thanks and sorry for my english,i dont speak it well^^.

[Batumulia]

[Auvi]

"4294 3dmark 06. temp 96"
It`s really hot.

8400m GS overclock to 532/638 full load highest temp 93 , btw if you cant overclock in Rivatuner , let it re detect you setting again ( needs to reboot ) , that`s the way i fix it

Dunno how good or bad this is but my system got a rating of 1040 in 3DMark2003. I feel it could do better.

Anyone else experiencing strange Bluetooth/GFX card related conflicts? Not sure if it was the latest batch of 169 Forceware releases or the new Windows Updates, but everytime a full-screen game is launched, my Bluetooth controller turns on and off sporadically.
I'm also noticing a frame rate drop if the Bluetooth controller is on, then when I turn it off everything functions perfectly.
A few weeks ago everything was fine haha.

[Barvazon]

I tried this driver with cod4 and crysis and they reduction my performance then my previous drivere (169.09)
