wook Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 nvcplenu.dll is for the nvidia control pannel but is for the non english language version. Not sure why you are having this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin S. Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Yes, I looked this up online, so I saw what the file is - others have said the same thing about Windows searching for it in vain (and pointlessly of course). Do your drivers not search for this file then?? Odd.. M. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wook Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 no i have never had this with my system. Have had a few questions on here about it tho, and are usually the XPS 17" laptops also. not sure why that would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fordy Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I don't understand how you guys are getting playable framerates on Far Cry 2 at 1920x1200 all high settings, I have an 8700gt sli card and when benchmarking I get an average of 17fps with those settings which tbh is pathetic, I'm currently using the 179.14 drivers and I've even overclocked the card to 750/1500/960, I did however difference with these drivers over the 179.28. Nice thread btw, these are definately the best drivers I've tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wook Posted February 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Yeah sorry guys... just started a new job and been busy as! Unfortunately i sold my system, as have moved to mac's. So wont be able to keep posting the performance comparison with additional drivers. As for far cry 2 i run at max resolution, and turn down the shader settings. (dont notice any quality difference) just takes some fog and dust effects away. And runs 10 FPS higher. bout 25 fps in intense fighting areas etc... Maybe fordy you could take over and add comments as to the best drivers for the system?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4speed Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 Anybody try the nvidia 185.06 drivers with the 8700gt SLI setup? Wondering how they compare to dox 182.05 mod drivers? I quess there is only one way to find out! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fordy Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Maybe fordy you could take over and add comments as to the best drivers for the system?? Yea sure I can do that, I've only just installed Far Cry 2 on my system though as I've been having some trouble with the laptop and had to reformat a couple of times. With any luck I shall be posting some results over the next couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Hello, I have a Dell XPS M1730 with nVidia 8700m GT SLI (with PhysX). I've tried different drivers and all seem rather disappointing. I'm currently using 179.28. With this, there is no nVidia control panel (is this right?) and only the sliding pane. I can't enable SLI mode (says about needing to have the right slots or something). This performs really bad for me. Any advise on what driver I should use? Even the Windows Slideshow is as jerky as hell. My Dad's inspiron with nVidia 8600m GT is putting my XPS to shame right now...

Guest Guest Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Further to last post.... Never mind, I'm now using Dox's optimized 182.05 and performance is good as long as I don't use anti-aliasing. Thanks Dox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 The graphs are down, can we get a repost? Also, anyone do any new benchmarks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NewBenchmarks Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Anyone do benchmarks with the 8700GT SLI on Windows 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Steve Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I haven't done benchmarks other than windows experience, but Windows 7 has given me a big performance boost including graphics. I've got everything work correctly (to the best of my knowledge) on my M1730 with Win 7 64bit, and it does work a LOT better than on Vista 32bit. I'm using Dox's latest gfx drivers.
