Dox Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 which setting are you using? Performance or balance? I have GTA IV I dont get any issues, I presume its a bug in the drivers, not much I can do about that i'm afraid you could try the normal 180.84 found here. I'll add a "compatibility" option for next release. *sigh* more work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addicted Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 what kind of texture issues?and for what game? it seems most drivers contain this problem, i've finally found the drivers i was using before "179.13 (the alienware drivers)" and my fps is back to normal :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oove Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Dox, do this driver support 8600m gs? I cannot install it on my laptop. Using XP x86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 How's the performance? Is it crashing after it wakes up from sleep? Just asking because i have the same card as you and i had problems with the last 180 release Performance is really good! This is much faster than the previous Dox Customized driver. Playing Half Life 2 EP 2 was a lot smoother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 then dont use the driver?strange, whats your OS? I know 8400Mgs is supported. If you could give me what version of my driver you are using, then I can narrow it down. again lol, what OS are you on? I may not have the device ID for that card so if you could provide me it. I'm using Vista 32 bit Home Premium Service Pack 2 Beta. And I'm trying to use your 180.84, I was using 180.70 before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goke Posted December 12, 2008 Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 thanks for the drivers but it must have ruined my game....any solutions??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted December 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2008 Dox, do this driver support 8600m gs?I cannot install it on my laptop. Using XP x86 in the installer: you MUST select click either the Balance or performance button, then click "install" on the next page. If you do not click either Balance or Performance then the drivers will fail to install sating no hardware info found. 8600Mgs is definitely in there : with device ID 425.

kiisu Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Is there any practial difference compared to 180.84 dox beta release? And do i understand correctly that these are still based on nvidia beta release, which means nvidia will eventually release a nonbeta version of 180.84?

meruyantoro Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 as I guess, the TimeShift Game, still can not play :) But in another games, this driver works better smoother in performance instalation :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eason Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Dox, I've tried changing the pre-rendered frames to lower but it didn't help. AFIK it's actually all games which stutter slightly using the mouse, but source games seem to be most sensitive to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eason Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Weird, HL2 (vanilla) seems to be quite smooth with the mouse - But Source 2007 games have more problems. Ep1/Ep2/L4D and TF2... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmaz Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 Dox, I am still getting texture errors on GTA4 even after resetting to default driver setttings through RivaTuner. I guess I have to wait for a fix on that =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Weetbix Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 (GTA4 problem) Thanks for trying to find a solution DOX. Maybe this will help, I rolled back my drivers to the previous .84 that I was using before yours, they were working great. But the texture problem is still there! Don't stress though I'll use system restore soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I tried to press Balance or Preformance, but that doesn't solve the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleron911 Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I did not get any increase over the original Dox 180.84, neither over 180.48 ... I still get the graphical corruption, like everything has charcoal thrown on it.. And it runs like crap on my system, even while super OCed... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
