Guest Stijn Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just found some more info. 185.20 introduced 'ambient occlusion', apparently Source games don't handle AO very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted August 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 190.62 tried - the worst benchmarker in a long time, about 6 months back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 186.81 tried - a little better, 186.xx level. Big minus: doesn't give the option to create custom resolution - I had big trouble to get my external screen up as my HP defaults to 62 Hz, which doesn't work on my external BenQ.

zipper Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Then 186.82. A little better - and custom resolutions work again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 186.91 WHQL - like .82, about identical benchmarks. No problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1600MUser Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Can you try 179.91? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 No, as it's just 6150/7150 driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted September 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 190.62 tried - the worst benchmarker in a long time, about 6 months back. 190.89 beats even this, it's a bit worse further.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 191.00 Quadro WHQL driver - back to "normal" performance level - but still non-working PowerMizer. And a big irritating factor - external as primary doesn't work from reboot; a bug that hasn't surfaced in a long time. Quickly back to some working driver, don't remember which...

zipper Posted September 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 191.03 - PowerMizer works - but performance is pretty mediocre, clearly slower than 191.00. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipper Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 hi Zipper i was wondering what is the best driver for nvidia quadro 2700m atm with hdmi working.

zipper Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 OK, 191.07 tried - and worse still as benchmarker. Must admire how every new driver is slower than its predecessor...And PowerMizer seems to be missing 2D again :) hi Zipper i was wondering what is the best driver for nvidia quadro 2700m atm with hdmi working. Playing some games and the defoult driver just sux. 185.85 is a good starting point - one of the fastest and HDMI should work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zipper Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 191.56 tried with original inf and have disk method. CP won't install but performance is best of 19x.xx drivers - must try with the modded inf next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted October 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Well, what a disappointment with modified inf - a 2 - 3 % performance drop, which in driver terms is huge, like going back 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 195.37 tried with modified inf - shoddy results. RivaTuner doesn't work most of the time. 3DMarks don't work - just a couple of stray results. Most of time com surrogate closing error causing Futuremark system info error. Is there a missing dll or wrong version of some? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 OK, now RivaTuner happened to start and shows missing nvdisps.dll - but should it be there? Anyway PowerMizer is missing 2D mode again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 Copied nvdisps.dll to system32 and newest direcpll.dll from Futuremark and got rid of 3DMark errors. New results are better. RivaTuner still coughs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Nevertheless one positive mention - HDMI works. But I'm back in 191.03 - can't stand non-working PowerMizer on desktop use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JuhanValtin Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Running 186.21 on Win 7 (x64). Got 5255 on 3DMark06 using default clock speeds and 5728-5822 over-clocked (on the second run I increased memory clock speed even further. Not sure that system would remain stable). Over-clocked from 625 -> 710MHz @core and from 800 -> 900MHz @memory using RivaTuner. At 700MHz core and 900MHz memory clock the system seemed stable. Did ATITool test and got no errors. Core temp was up from about 10C, from 65C to 75C (during 3DMark06 runs). Using standard cooling. No fan control. Any ideas, would 700 and 900MHz be safe? And are there better Nvida versions? Have been reading that 195.39 is good ... Precision M6300 T9300 @ 2.5GHz FX 1600M 2 x 2GB DDR2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Any ideas, would 700 and 900MHz be safe? And are there better Nvida versions? Have been reading that 195.39 is good ... My max values have been about 780/980 so you are pretty safe. I don't like 195.39 as RivaTuner and PowerMizer don't work. I stick with 191.03 as it has PowerMizer working; 191.00 is a tad faster but PowerMizer is missing 2D speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 Did a couple of OC tests with 781/980, driver 191.03. Vantage results are much higher than with 17x.xx driver which I used last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 191.66 Quadro driver tried - a decent one but a tad slower than 191.56. 2D still missing on PowerMizer. Back to 191.03 again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
