Guest Gnu Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 After install, the NVidia control panel is no longer under advanced display properties, or right clicking on the desktop. While I still had the uncleaned drivers around, I initiated NVCPLUI manually and activated SLI (my biggest concern). However, after it did all the configurations, I was still able to dual/split monitor, which didn't seem right to me. I did try uninstall/reinstall with a driver clean, and I'm still getting the same issues. Any suggestions or a recommendation of another driver?Toshiba X205-Sli3 8600M GT Sli 256Mb I have that problem with the control panel. In advanced display properties I get something like an english controlpanel (German system! :) ) in wich I am somehow not able to uncheck the "aplication controlled" checkboxes... I can however start the NVidia control panel (a German one) manuel and all seems to work. ATM I simply hope, an official release (NVIDIA Homepage still tells me 180.48 is the latest driver for me) will solve the problem with the control panel. Meanwhile, I put the control panel into the Quickstart bar to have a similiar fast access to it as before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 I did the same as the shortcut to RMB disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GuestTU Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 Sorry for the noobish question but i have been little out of the loop with the new Nvidia technologies. Do these drivers have CUDA, PhysX etc? Also what is the benefit of these technologies and are they relevant for my 9500M GS (in terms of processing power) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Titan818 Posted November 24, 2008 Report Share Posted November 24, 2008 have you tried any of the other 180 drivers, such as 180.43, 180.44, 180.48, all of them are pritty good drivers 180.48 has got the same problems. I'm doin the same thing as [Gnu]. I have to go into display settings>advanced>additional properties. And even then, it pulls up a very limited control panel. No Sli/overclocking/app setting configurations. Weirder yet, and I dunno if I just never noticed before, but on the general info tab, it says my operating system is the ol' codename "Longhorn" and that I'm running Dx 8.1. Also, No Video BIOS version, and 0Mb of memory. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DWN Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 To download, right click the driver link and click save link as in firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 To fix it, just zip the exe, makes the DL faster and should fix the firefox issue. Download exe's arent very common and can sometimes mean viruses or something, but not here I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall_Rinoa89 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 (edited) Horrible driver IMO. At least for playing F.E.A.R online. I clean installed the drivers and frames are @ 60 for about 10mins than drop to 29 for no reason and STAYS at 29 until i reboot the game. Went back to using 180.44 and i haven't had the problem sense. -FIXED- Freshly removed and reinstalled to fix the fear problem. Fallout 3 now runs max @ 60FPS on Ultra Edited December 14, 2008 by Squall_Rinoa89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryHook Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 I think it depends on your system setup, these drivers are best on my Dell XPS 730, i haven't tried them on my laptop yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnirts214 Posted November 26, 2008 Report Share Posted November 26, 2008 Well. . the driver did well with my xps m1730... GForce 8700m gt It run smoothly with :) may cry 4 and fallout 3... tnx... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Au_Xtr3me Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Seems to be solid. On an XPS m1530 standby still doesn't work, but hibernate does. No aero lag, not sure about performance though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Digimon Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Dell XPS M1530 nVidia 8600GT These drivers seemed to mess with my wireless connection. It would just disconnect every 10 seconds or so, then re-connect. Rolled em back to the sock drivers for now, and it works ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Steph Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I have to say, i had a 7900 'GSX' oced for a long long time... I had a crash with those drivers (wich i had never seen with my oc settings) And a few days later again that crash, but dots appeared all over the screen.. And stayed on reboot and never got away.. Got in diagnostics.. memory write errors! So, my memory has fried with these drivers! So if you have an oced GPU, maybe watch out for this one... Hope my loss can be someone else's 'gain' !! -Stéphane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
