is the INF the same of the 177.79?

177.79: ; Pieter's INF version 3.261

177.83: ; Pieter's INF version 3.265

So, no.

My question is, in which order I should install the driver and PhysX Driver, it seems that the PhysX Support isn't detected correctly for me...

Oh, I think the INF here is the wrong one.

The 3.265 INF seem to be for Vista, because:

; Pieter's INF version 3.265

; http://www.laptopvideo2go.com

; NVIDIA Windows Vista Display INF file

And its not: nv4_disp.inf, its called nv_disp.inf which doesnt fit to the XP32bit drivers... im confused..

Yea I think he made a mistake when uploading the files. If you read at the top of the thread, it says Windows Vista 32bit. Basically 2 threads for 32bit vista up and no xp 32bit. Would it make a difference if we used the xp 64bit inf?

Sorry dudes, auto post maker got all screwed up, not sure how it put the Vista data in the XP thread.

Guest Hannes The Hun

thanks for the correct inf!

I did some benchmarking with 3D mark 06, seems to me that 177.79 was slightly faster, but in the meantime I "upgraded" my BIOS version to A09 (DELL trying to fix the nvidia issue), so maybe it's the BIOS that made the result slightly slower

3dmark06.png

3dmark06 always names my card incorrectly a GS but indeed it is a factory overclocked GT

temp was very good, never went over 75 degrees celsius (checked with nvtray), powermizer also fully working

PhysX also working perfectly with all the stuff supplied by nvidia in this PhysX pack

These drivers are great! For some reason they loaded a little faster than 177.79 for me. It's almost the same performance as 175.95, but with a little more quality. :)

I haven't received any crashes yet. I do recommend this driver. :)

the INF is version 3.261, so it is the same of the 177.79??

No it wont be the BIOS...

I've had a look into the BIOS and the only thing that changed was the temperature that the fan comes on.

Its now set 5 Oc cooler. So more fan cycling/ more active cooling. The bios wont change the actual performance of your GPU

177.79 & 174.74 are the best for game on my system. Some people state 175.80 is pretty good.

@wook: Some people said that 175.80 is good but has bugs in some games. Someone said that 175.95 is the same in performance but fixes those bugs. I'm not sure, what do you think? :)

Seems to preform the same as v177.19, but powermizer is working fully

3DMark06 (1028x800, no AA) results:

177.66: 2826

177.70: 2844

177.73: 2847

177.79: 2848

177.83: 2851 (version with 177.79 inf)

177.83: 2847 (version with 177.83 inf)

could this difference originate just in the different inf-files?

or were there other changes in the driver besides the removing of the physx driver?

When I'm downloading the modded inf it gives me INF version 3.261 instad of 3.265 ... why is that??

So I should use 3.261a instead of 3.265?

"is the INF the same of the 177.79?

177.79: ; Pieter's INF version 3.261

177.83: ; Pieter's INF version 3.265

So, no."

3DMark06 1280x800

177.79 = 3886

177.83 with 177.79 INF (3.261) = 3889

177.83 with 177.83 INF (3.265) = 3897

to be honest i never tred that version. i stayed with 174.74 for about 2 months, (trying the odd new driver that had good recomendations) until the 177.** series came out.

177.66 was really good.. then 177.79 was even better. Not too shabby for video playback either.
