DriverDummy Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hopefully the fan control works better than 171.16 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vOlvOx Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 anyone tesed yet? any advancement against 171.16? what about OC / Powermizer? btw: my fan control does not seem to be bad with 171.16?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest p0p Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 171.23 -> no crashes for me anymore :) also fps increased Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 2D clocks not set on these either. (GeForce Go 7950 GTX) No driver after the 8X.XX have been able to do that. Only driver that did this was the original driver that was installed on my Dell XPS M1710, and I cant remember the exact version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirt Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 No, I meant, that by default you are forced to use 2D clocks for games when on battery and that degrades performance to unplayable level. But in drivers till 163.xx you could tune powemizer to your needs, for example I just want to turn it off at all. The clock (and vid) change 2d/low power 3d/3d are been with nvidia VGA card since FX5xxx series and powermizer doesn't have to do anything with that. I just want to have an opportunity to use normal 3D clocks on battery power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gazer75 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Never had any issues with the GPU being stuck on low 3D or 2D if I didn't want it to be. I have the opposite problem...2D clocks not working. I was just stating that the desktop mode (2D clocks) is not set anymore for some reason. This means my Go 7950 GTX is running at 575/600 when I'm doing regular desktop work like surfing. With the original drivers it would run at 100/100 while not playing any games, even on battery. Now its running at 200/300 on battery and full speed on AC power unless I disable powermizer and let it run full speed on battery. Updated my driver just so I could play the latest games like Crysis, which would display strange artifacts with the original ones. Asked around why this is so, but apparently no one knows as I've gotten no replies to my posts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F3nNec Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) It does?! The clocks aren't forced to 2D in battery mode? no, they aren't. i just use force performance level: performance 3D in Rivatuner 2.06, and frying at 500 gpu, 860 memory on battery, everythig goes OK. :) Edited February 15, 2008 by Mad89Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirt Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Gazer75 Lucky you, nothing changes when I delet it. For notice, while transmitting signal throught external VGA/DVI port clocks should in 3D mode, that's normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirt Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Woohoo, I finally came up with an answer! To make PowerMizer not to interfere with our desire to game without AC power edit driver inf in the fallowing way: ;Powermizer settings HKR,, PowerMizerDefault, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, PowerMizerEnable, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, PowerMizerLevel, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, PowerMizerLevelAC, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, PowerSaverHsyncOn, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, EnableCoreSlowdown, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, EnableMClkSlowdown, %REG_DWORD%, 1 HKR,, EnableNVClkSlowdown, %REG_DWORD%, 1 In this way it just doesn't forces to 2D mode (when in 3D) anymore.

Guest Dirt Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Unfortunately the is one bug left, clocks can't be adjusted manually with battery power (no OC), but if you change them in AC mode and plug out the power source they are remaining OC'ed.

suryad Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 So would I be correct in assuming these 171.x series of drivers are not BETA drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FvZ Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I have a problem when i close the lid of my notebook. When i open it again the screen don't turn on (or it turns on for a second and turns off again). I need to open/close the lid some times more to do it work. It's a problem of this driver ?? There is a drive that doesn't have this problem ??? My notebook is a Compal IFL90, with a GeForce 8600M GT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dirt Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Hey, I'm using the exact laptop too. The problem you mentioned doesn't depends on driver, it's MS fault. To fix it install KB815304 hotfix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vOlvOx Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Installed this driver, everything works fine so far (for my config see my post above) gives me good performance over all still have some fps trouble in CS:S, don't know why, but it's playable... i'm very finical in fps cognition... recommended Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest G1S-user Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Fast driver; first one to reach above 9000 3dmark05 score (8600M GT). Will try gaming later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleewok Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 The driver runs fine. I did get one BSOD for nv_mini.sys, but haven't had one again. My main problem is that the ANALOG external monitor is NOT detected. DVI is detected fine, but won't give me the proper resolution unless I plug in the screen after I boot..

FvZ Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 My problem persists. I try to install the hotfix but it's don't work because my Windowns is in Portuguese and i just find the hotfix for the english version..... I get back to the 171.16 driver, but the problem persists. Someone that have the same notebook have this problem ?? it's a problem of the driver or a trouble caused by???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burakpadir Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 my screen is blank after standby.how can i solve this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ethenyl Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 HOLY S**T Dirt ! You solved my problem ! I used your Powermizer trick in the .inf of the 174.74 driver, and since that I can now play smoothly my games, before that, even en AC all the games where horribely slow, everything that used the GPU was fuc***g slow ! I was forced to pley everything on low AND windowed ! I've just tried Call Of Duty 4 while being on battery ! Full screen, 1280 * 960 with everything set on medium and it works ! Oh by the way I own an Asus G1S AK092C with a GeForce 8600M GT 256 Mo. I will try some other game to see if it really works, like Crysis. Thanks a lot man ! I'll need to register on these forums ... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ethenyl Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Never mind ... worked one time. And after a reboot, all the performances were gone. Maybe it's a CPU problem with the power supply. Crap, gotta play on my desktop. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
