Guest Guest Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Guest: can you tell me what your GFX card is? my card is the Geforce go 7300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted November 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 hmm i think the 180.43 and 44 aint the best for me.grabbin 3dmark now and gonna give some feedback on what i get and see if there's any improvements i can make you will get a lower score for sure due to the way I made details to look sharper. Games should be fine. I dont know why people feel they are getting less performance based on 3d marks, Its not like we play it as a game. If you want good benchmarking numbers use my 178.24/ 178.13, bluray works with those too. my card is the Geforce go 7300 I've had a quick look at it and cannot see why it would not install. Stick with older releases for now. 180.43-.44 isnt a big jump anyways :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YosimeteSam Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) I am about to try it now. I play BF2 and COH which i have been having probs with getting only limited perf out of the drivers. I have the XPS M1730 with SLI 8800GTX and a seperate ageia ppu. Running Vista Ultimate 64. Will let you know if i have any luck. Ok i have installed the whole package. Darn awesome installer i must say +1 there :) I ran COH benchmark it gained a few FPS in the average sitting at 49 FPS. In the max it pushed to just under 100 FPS. before it was ony about 70~75 FPS. So i am happy with that. I think the CPU may be the bottle neck. As i only have the T9500. I may have to upgrade to the Extreme Processor X9000. Edited November 17, 2008 by YosimeteSam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cisconetdude Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Just wondering, I have a Dell 1730 xps with a 8700M GT does this still have the black screen issue when you boot without a power cord? If so does anyone know a fix beside running 159.xx from dell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gameo Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Please try and make it for XP x64 soon? =) By the way, with your last drivers (180.43 178.24 etc. etc.) Timeshift wouldn't run at all for some reason. Also, are the drivers overclock'able? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdere Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Looks great with this one, good tweaks. Compared to your 178.24 I'm finding the latest games perform much better, but the older ones aren't doing quite as well. Thinking I'll stick with this atm, perfectly stable and no issues. Thanks again, quality work as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thaurdol Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 (edited) Virgin post ! O.o After playing 2 hours of LOTR online I got a BSOD, I believe it was due overheating as I had noticed the increase of heat after about 1hr of gameplay. After that I tried playing Brothers in Arms Hell's Highway and it worked like a dream, that game has never playd on my laptop before without major laggyness. I've already ordered a laptop cooling pad as I have been playing without one for some time now. Hope that might fix things with the heat issues. All in all I'm happy with this driver though :) (been searching for a good driver for this laptop since I bought BiA which wasn't working at all (Nvidia GeForce 9500M GS)).

nikechristo Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 (edited) Trend Micro pc-cillin detects a trojan in the installer http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyc...2D1&VSect=P :) Do I have to worry about it? Edit: I'm going to disable my antivirus and try again. Hope Dox's driver doesn't have any trojan embedded in it :) Edited November 19, 2008 by nikechristo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 CronoX: yeah got this crash as well, with all the 18x drivers so far, switched back to the 179.13 and everything went back to normal. I have a Dell XPS M1530 with the 8600M GT. Maybe its a 8600M GT related problem? A college at work got the same notebook as I have and after installing these drivers he got the same crash, too. Fired up C&C Red Alert 3 and BAM! Crash. Or simply in Windows Vista Desktop or Firefox. First we thought his Videocard just got toasted, but nah, after reading in the forums here we are pretty sure we just got the same problem as u have.

Guest doubleblack Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I know it has nothing to do with your customizations Dox, but I just wanted to report back that this gives me BSOD's on Windows 7 as well :) I'll be sticking with them I think though!

destruya Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Could you please upload a version of this driver that is accessible via 7-Zip so I can get inside the archive for slipstreaming into VLite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rittchard Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Dox, were you able to add support for the 9400m series in the new Macbooks: Device ID says 10DE-0870 GPU 0870 Revision B1 I tried installing but hardware wasn't recognized. With the new installer, I couldn't figure out where the files were extracted to in order to change the inf file either... Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
