duxter Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi can you recomend a newer driver for quadro4 980xgl ? 10x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 It appears to me from information on the Nvidia website that the latest driver for this card is 93.xx series. This would most likely be the best driver to use with this card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxter Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Thanks, i don't know why but it scored about 11.400 in 3dmark 2001 SE and a ti4200 scored about 9.600 and it's not a big difference. I was hopping for more from this quadro4 :) PS: Honestly....i was hopping for at least 15.000 from an quadro4 980xgl. Tested 91.36, didn't tried 93.82 but i guess there is almost no difference :) Edited June 25, 2008 by duxter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 If you want you can try other drivers from the 9x's and before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxter Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Well 93.82 about 200points less than 91.36...the card heats up alot, could the heating issue be the problem ? Should i try another cooler ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 What temperature does the card reach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxter Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 The card is made by nVidia, i don't think it has al health status function....didn't find anything similar but you can't touch the memory cips when it's running...they're super hot, even the PCB is very very hot :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 This does sound too hot. Especially if you cannot touch the memory. What kind of cooling does your case have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxter Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 The case is now open, Prescott's get realy hot even at iddle they're at 50 celsius so i oppend the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 Can you tell if this has helped your video any? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duxter Posted June 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 (edited) I tried to play CS Source at high for 2 hours, it heats up but it does not make any problems. Still.....i'm concernd this heat issue could affect the performance (old card but still expecting more from it).

Michael Marley Posted June 28, 2008 Report Share Posted June 28, 2008 If the heat were affecting your performance, it would be affecting it by a great amount. If you are sustaining playable framerates, then your card is not thermal throttling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
