Guest Nitro Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Can you try 179.48? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Perhaps, but don't think it's much different from 179.28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno2040 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 182.05 Dox gives also the best results so far for me (Dell precision M6300). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 How does HDMI work with Dell? Do all drivers give output to external screen/TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Now 179.48 - as expected a little faster than 179.28 except 3DMark Vantage, which is pretty poor compared to the latest drivers. Bonus: HDMI works fine, many resolutions in addition to 1080i and 720p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruno2040 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 @Zipper, Actually, only drivers provided by Dell alow to use HDMI. With other drivers, analog output to an external screen is sometimes possible, depending on the version. Driver 182.05 does not give any output to an external screen.

zipper Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 So the situation is still worse than on HP/Compaq, which do have working HDMI with some drivers other than original :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FM Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Hello Zipper! It's more than one year that i came at laptopvideo2go EVERY DAY, I check the news, I download and install all the drivers that apperas (as is, modded inf, and modded by myself). I see an increase in performance up to 177.41 (probably the best for me). After this, my furmark score stop at 417, with all the drivers that i test. Now I'm using 179.44. Good also 182.06, strange, the score is lower (414). IQ appear a bit better (may be a placebo). I reformat the PC in december (for others problems), but still this limit. I'm CPU limited? If I change the resolution, the score jump up a lot, so I don't think so. I'm GPU limited? If yes, wich driver is best for my "old" card, in your opinion? Overall performance, IQ, ... My specs: HP 8510W XP SP3, 32bit RAM 3 GB CPU T7700 2,4 GHz GPU Quadro FX570M I wait your answer. Thanks Zipper, thanks Mobilenvidia, an thanks Laptopvideo.

zipper Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Dox optimised drivers seem to be the fastest. My favourite so far is 185.20 as it has a working HDMI, which I need to connect to my TV with full resolution - VGA output is restricted.

zipper Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 182.08 tried - about the fastest non-Dox driver. But a big minus as HDMI doesn't work for me (modified inf) so back to 179.48. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xamaxy Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 ....Driver 182.05 does not give any output to an external screen. So there is no way for me to get secondary screen as primary? I do get the picture but i cant play on it coz it cant be set as primary... Otherwise damn fine drivers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted March 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 Try Dox 185.20 - it's about as fast and no problems with external via HDMI. Im always using just the external but I believe dual screens with external as primary should work. And there is a registry hack floating somewhere in the forums to make it happen.

Xamaxy Posted March 9, 2009 Report Share Posted March 9, 2009 The exact situation is i have laptop like in signature in work place, and i got painfully cheap 19" SM913N.....so i use 19" for gaming coz i get awesome frame rates at 1280x1024 + the best possible picture.....and reducing anything below 1920x1200 on 17" laptop screen is becoming blurry and i dont have to mention that is apsurd to try play like cod4 on that resolution hehehehe So, the problem is, VGA conector is working and i get the picture but not primary and like i said it in post before. I dont use HDMI for now to know if it works. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipper Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 182.47 tried - a little faster than 182.08 but nothing special. No HDMI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted March 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Now 182.46 Dox version tried to test the effect of increased IQ settings - a negligible loss of benchmark speed. I used have disk method to install. No HDMI - and the modes show up as 62 Hz which probably is incompatible with my TV. Custom resolutions fail.

zipper Posted March 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 179.67 via have disk. Suxxs especially with 3DMark Vantage. Only positive is that HDMI works partially - just upto 720p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 179.67 now with whql inf - nothing changed, perhaps a minuscule speed loss... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 182.50 tried with modified inf. Works except HDMI. This stupid line of drivers shows just 62 Hz modes as I plug my telly in, probably causing that HDMI problem. Speed is again a little lower than with former 182.xx driver. That's progress...

zipper Posted April 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2009 Then 185.65. Interesting - doesn't install correctly via have disk, CP misses some file(s)?. Yet might be the fastest non-Dox driver so far - waiting for working inf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 185.66 - very similar results, similar problems. CP won't install. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 185.65 again, now with modified inf. Works fine, HDMI works also. One of the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted April 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 185,68 Dox version, added lines for my card; same performance as 185.65; HDMI works, audio over HDMI too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
