Guest Guest Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Do you guys realize 3Dmark results are pointless and that they can fluctuate per run? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Its not entirely pointless.. it gives a "general" view on a driver. But, yeah i think they/ we/ I know what you mean. Most people will be doing between 2- maybe 3 tests and find the average. Thus getting reliable results. But as you said, its only a benchmark tool. In the past my system has achieved a really high 3Dmark score, and then game play is pretty average. Only real way to be sure is to run a game, test and compare the FPS... But I'm sure most users know this too. - Anyway my point in coming here is to say this driver does not work well for my machine. 4 Oc higher temps than my last driver, and some staggered motion in CAD plus a couple of games. Because 177.92 gives a higher temperature i can not overclock as much, and not get as higher FPS out of games. I have just moved back to 175.63 which has low temp. (by 4 Oc) meaning overclocking is higher, and getting better FPS than 177.92 If you have not tried this driver it may be worth your while.

Guest Grishak Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Hello. Using the 177.92 Driver and the modded INF for Clevo products, I have discovered to my disdain that Guitar Hero 3 no longer functions. No error message, just an instant application closure. 177.89 was kosher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grishak Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 Culprit was found. It seems I forgot to reinstall NVtweak with the new driver. It caused a corrupted overlay with a horizontal line. Screen shots revealed nothing. Fixed. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew55 Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Rivatuner and ntune are also viable options. Test all and see which is most to your liking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AG Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hi guys, I have some problems here with my GO 7800 ( Inspiron 9400 ), when I install this driver I cant OC my 3Dcard with Rivatuner 2.10 ( atitools and ntune also does not solve this problem ). When I set the gpu clock for exemple to 300 Mhz and when I click on apply then its goes back to the default speed ( 250Mhz). I never had this OC problems with my older driver ( 93.81 ) and I could push it to 375/930 (stock 250/660). Please guys help my ! PS: But I can Underclock my card with this driver but not OC ! grzz, AG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The unlocked BIOS is supported by 169.04 and below. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh_Crab Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Installed wonderfully on my Toshiba Qosmio G30 (GO 7600) but the only issue now is that these drivers still seem to break the 'resume from Hibernation or Standby' modes. Resulting in a Black Screen. Anyone found a fix for this issue yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epedemic Posted September 3, 2008 Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 Hey, the drivers work great but I only have one problem. Startup. When I startup the laptop (vostro 1400, geforce 8400m gs), It proceeds through the windows screen fine and to the login screen. once I login, i have to wait atleast 3 minutes for everything to come up and before anything is operational. The only operational device is the mouse. All I really see is the wallpaper and I can move my mouse but nothing else. Is there any solution to this, the laptop is pretty much brand new. If any more information is required, let me know. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Anyone Tried these with a 6800 Go? Newer drivers are not functioning well for me lately, anyone with my card have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Janitoo Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 guys, I have a dell xps M1530 "downgraded" to XP sp3 I had installed a compatible driver from dell. The only game I play is LFS, and everytime I enabled the anti**pic filter to 8x the game just worked like crap. I just installed your drivers and the game works smoothly with everything on the highest levels thank you very much for your awesome work. now I just have to think about the sound, because the driver I'm using sucks too. thanks again.

cathy Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Both 177.83 & 177.92 makes my screen turn black right after logging in to Windows. Any solution to this...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mujjuman Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 hi guys. im trying to install this driver. the previous driver that i used for the past 1 year with no problems is now giving me a 0xEA problem that i hope is not hardware related and is rather driver related. anyway, i replaced the inf with the modded inf, and after running setup.exe it says that im missing a few files... forexample: nvdispsr.dll nvgames.dll nvgamesr.dll what should i do? oh i should probably say that earlier today, the link for the driver (exe file) wasnt working, so i went to the nVidia site to download the beta version of 177.92 it should be the same thing, right?

Guest Aguennon Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi, My problem is big. I have Asus A6VM Notebook with Geforce Go 7300. When i use the drivers with new control panel the POWERMIZER does not work. With the old control panel drivers i can select 3 options ; Max battery, Balanced, Max Performance. But New control panels onl allow on/off. And it does not work. When i select off with PowerMizer, and run on battery it lowers the clock speed. So does not work. How can i solve it.
