Guest Yaroha Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 WTF why always FileFront?AWFUL speed of max 20kb/s! I HATE IT. Plz upload the upcoming drivers to other sites or give some mirrors! What internet provider are you using? I never had any problem with filefront, download takes about 1 second. I am using cox internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dox Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 dox, i can't see anything when i run farcry 2.i can hear the sound. but no video. its the problem with the drivers (not my fault_ heres a workaround: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=313139 Dox maybe im asking too much but can you make your driver compatible with overclock? im 1 of the unlucky guy that can overclock only with 169.04 driver... Is possible edit new driver for allow overclock?ty I cant overclock myself, but I think since nvidia went to driver 17x.xx + they did something to the driver to "break" overclocking. Its not really possible to edit drivers to overclock since you'd need the source code which i dont have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semeoneor Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 Is it possible to find out the issue about laptops not being able to wake up after sleep (black screen). I have that problem with the 180 drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted October 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I can only suggest you upgrade your system bios, make sure you are using your oem chipset drivers, or stick with drivers supplided for your laptop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Xlom3000 Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 I'm running the new macbook pro with a 9600m gt in it which I though I saw listed as a supported driver, but when I ran it, it says The Nvidia setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware.

Naveen Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 dox just tell me that anything this driver brings in new tha nthe one i am having now ... 178.13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted October 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 nothing majorly new, just the usaull changes i make to the official drivers. only thing different is I changed the quality settings so the textures looks sharper :) and the "resolutions table" is more refined, thats about all that is different. if you are happy with 178.13 dont update, if you like to always have the most up to date drivers install these, its up to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
