tuhintt Posted November 16, 2008 Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 Hello Dox, Thank u for ur time. This is my display info. Do i need to worry on ddr3 display ram share with ddr2 system ram? Also is it possiable to disable this Sharing? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted November 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm not sure that it is sharing :) May be a bug in the driver that shows the wrong info... to be sure update to another driver and check. Even if it was shared you not need to worry. I think its jutst a bug in the driver reporting the wrong info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuhintt Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Dox, ur driver is OK. my previous driver(provide by apple) also show me the same info. So is it possible to disable this sharing? Modifying the 'inf' file or some other way. lots of my friend looking for this solution also. Many Thanks Dox. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 (edited) Dox, I think you've said that this driver would support the 7 series better than the newer ones do. Is there anyway to get DV working on the XP 32bit version of this? But it doesn't matter (colors are just bland). I myself haven't checked the FPS between the 180.44 and 178.24 yet in CS:S though. :) Edited November 19, 2008 by Shaythong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted November 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 use rivatuner as a workaround to set the desired level of DV. or stick with the fixed 180.44.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer Posted November 30, 2008 Report Share Posted November 30, 2008 With this driver I can: Enable/disable SLI without reboot, and use 2 monitors when not on SLI. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Emmu Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Hello Dox, thanks for the good work you do on these forums. My simple question is: Is your optimized version of this driver WHQL certified? I have a blu-ray player (only work with whql drivers) and would love to install this driver (178.24) but I don't know if it still whql certified like the original drivers. Thanks.

Dox Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Blu ray should work on my drivers, according to feedback I get. It is not WHQL certified, since messing with the drivers breaks the certificate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.D.U. Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thanks Dox, I'm Guest Emmu (just joined the forum as E.D.U.) :) Ok I'll try the driver and tell you if it works. I'll install using the "have disk" method. I hope it works and gives me better gameplay in games, higher 3d 06 marks , and blu-ray playback. Thanks, will give you feedback on results.

E.D.U. Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 OKKKK!!! So, I tested the driver for blu-ray playback and IT WORKED! That was the only reason I never installed your drivers because I didn't think blu-ray would work, but now that they do, I'm only sticking with your drivers. So then since this driver (178.24) worked for blu-ray, I decided to test out the 180.84 v1.1 and that worked too. It actually worked better than the 178.24 ones and offered better performance too game wise. That is amazing since the original 180.84 (unoptimized) is not WHQL certified, so something you did during optimization enabled blu-ray playback on these drivers. Thanks and that shows how impressive your work on these drivers is. I really only had one little problem that I know other people have had with your optimized drivers (180s especially) and the 8600m gt: i get a black screen when I try to wake up from sleep. If you can tell me any possible solutions to this problem I would be very grateful. But, if there aren't any solutions I can live without sleep no problem (not literally of course, lol). Thanks for everything and to reiterate BLU-RAY PLAYBACK WORKS ON DOX'S DRIVERS (at least 178.24 and 180.84 v1.1). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mushu Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 (edited) The sleep problem isn't caused by his optimized drivers as it is a problem with the original drivers as well. Well that's what I think happened last time I used the stock 180.84 as well. :) Edited January 7, 2009 by Shaythong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Thats the one thing I couldnt fix by myself, now that I have testers, hopefully bugs like this can be fixed for my drivers (if the original has them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E.D.U. Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hey Dox, thanks. Funny thing. The sleep just randomly started working. I did absolutely nothing, at least I don't think so. Pretty happy and thankful about it. Good work all round. I just have a couple teaser questions for you: What drivers are you working on optimizing now and when do you hope to release any of them? Are they better that what you've released so far? (You don't have to answer if you don't want to, of course) Thanks, I think I'm happy with 180.84.1, but I'm not sure if one of your other drivers could run COD:WaW better. Scared to try, because I might lose the sleep function if I switch to your other drivers (thinking abt 180.70). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 stick with 180.84 since its my newest. I hav made a 185.20 but for my private use, I am not working on anymore drivers until a new official one comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glitch Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hey just wanted to say thanks for your driver work. I had to set up a partition for windows for some games I wanted to play at a friends place I'm visiting and found that my OEM had some odd setup that tried to force me to use their drivers which were ancient...as in 86.34 or some such. Yours have done the trick for me. My laptop has a 7600gs and I knew it was capable of running a newer driver than Compal offered as under Linux I run 171.xx I picked the 178.24 ones as they have so many glowing reviews scattered around the forum. I may try one of the newer ones when I get back from my trip. If I could I'd stuff a cold beverage of your choice through the internet. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
