DarkSage44 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) When ever i try to install Drivers for my SLI 8800M GTX setup other then the stock drivers that came with it (167.55) anything that is white normally will be a yellowish color. I tried the 174.31 directly off the dell site they had it offered as a performance driver and i had this issue. I tried the 174.31 off of laptopvideo2go.com and it failed to install because it could not reconize hardware that needed it(I used the right INF file from the zip) I also tried the 177.4x off of Laptopviedo2go.com and i got the same issue. I was able to go back to stock and resolve the issue but its annoying as i would like to see if i can get any extra performance out of the newer forceware. Before you ask i used driver sweep to clear the registry and such but nothing seemed to work. Any suggestions to how i might fix this are greatly appreciated.

Everything works fine for me with most drivers including the performance ones from DELL. The only thing I can think of is the color temperature settings...

cyclone93 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 what operating system are you running on? i suggest you go to laptopvideo2go.com and download the 169.09 driver for your operating system, and download the modded inf and copy it into your driver install files after you have extracted it. the driver is well awesome it can make my 8400m gs run crysis on high with about 10 fps :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
