This driver has been updated on 12-MAR-2006, I've combined the Toshiba version with new Control Panel. The driver is now the biggest ever @ 25.4MB or 100MB uncompressed.

But you will now have access to both new and old control panels:

Updated Modded INF to access both Control Panels

If the screen view is switched between Internal/External video during the playback of a DVD movie, the visual display becomes blank but the audio continues to be heard.

Will check them out tonight, get in the poo if i download stuff at work :)

Hopefully better than the last 83.xx drivers we saw from Leadtek.

[blackcat]

Best Aquamark and 3DMark05 scores yet with these drivers. Will try some games later, thanks for the good work!

[mattman]

Sounds good. Will be including 3dmark06 as well. And a BF2 run :)

[blackcat]

Have not downloaded 06 yet. The low scores people are getting with good cards make me sad. :)

[mattman]

I get <1000 :)

But it does look pretty :)

[seiken]

Hi,

I have good Scores with my original Toshiba inf, thx! :)

81.98 MCE NVIDIA Forceware (high performance): 5696 3DMark03

83.20 Asus (high performance): 5694 3DMark03

[Computer Potato]

Second best score I have gotten with 3DMark05. Control Panel is normal but like the 83.02 drivers, I can not get the 'Enable Taskbar Icon' to work

No OCing using default 250/600 3DMark05 Score (I tried 3DMark06 but too hard to tell the difference between drivers and twice file size so uninstalled it)

82.12 - 3045

83.02 - 3058

83.20 - 3053

[seiken]

Second best score I have gotten with 3DMark05. Control Panel is normal but like the 83.02 drivers, I can not get the 'Enable Taskbar Icon' to work

My Taskbar Icon work, try to disable and enable it again.

My Taskbar Icon work, try to disable and enable it again.

Ok that worked.

Hi,

Excuse me if my english isn't good.

I've installed this drivers in a Ahtec Laptop (I don't know his real manufacturer) with MXM technology and GFgo 6600 256MB.

With some modification I got install it correctly, but in PowerMizer Option, when I use battery I can only select Maximum duration or medium, but I can't select max performance.

Is problem of my card/system configuration or this drivers only includes these two options for battery mode (in AC mode I can select 3 options)?

If is problem of drivers, what version is better for you?

Regards,

PSK

[mobilenvidia]

PSK, that means that your coumputer would draw too much power for the battery to handle safely.

The battery heats up with big power drawws, this can be a hazard and also shortens the battery life.

It's a safety feature, nothing you can do, all go6800+ do it as well.

It's a draw back for such a powerful GPU in a laptop.

These 83.xx drivers are fantastic, 83.20 includes the control panel again as 83.02 doesn't. I thought 83.02 couldn't be beat, but these have done the trick!

Do you like these ?

And happy Aussie day.

Have a 'Crowny' on me :)

Nice and warm today in Adelaide ?

[mattman]

Yep loving these drivers.. scores are way up.. and in everything too so unlikely to be an anomoly... BF2 plays nice, haven't pushed it with anything else yet.

Wonderful stinking hot day here :) Just about to go out for a drive...

OK, thanks.

Finally I tried 83.02 version and already appeared three options for battery mode. I will keep in mind the risk.

Well, I found the error. When I modified .INF file, I used GF6800 configuration instead 6600.

Then, Can I use full power in battery mode without risk? (is a 6600 card really)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some strange:

How after many versions installed my system was unstable, I reinstalled the system.

In a clean system, I have done this:

- Installed 83.20 with modified .INF avaliable in this topic: PowerMizer appear, but only can select 2 mode (can't select max.performance). Is strange because in previous system when I installed this combination I got all functions availables.

Continue

- Installed 83.02 with his own .INF (also modified by laptopvideo2go, I think) downloaded from this forum: PowerMizer appear with all his possibles options, but some options availables with modified .INF of 83.20 dissapear (for example clock setting and some advances functions)

- Installed (for second time) 83.20 with modified .INF available in this topic: PowerMizer appear with all his posibles options and all options setting are other time availables.

What happen?

I want can install all functions with a only drivers without need install different version overwritting before for get all options. Can you help me?

My card: Geforce Go 6600 MXM

Manufacturater: http://www.uniwill.com/

Laptop model: 259EN3 (Ahtec Signal 259M MXM in my country)
