eleron911 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 GTA IV performance seems to be the best with these drivers , but they still BSOD in this game when alt tabbing a few times. 0x000000EA infinite loop something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dox Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm already using my optimised 185.20, I wont make it public or give it the beta testers until a better 185.xx driver comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galdere Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 Can't see there being another 185.xx for quite a while, but as so many people have problems with it being an alpha preview (not me :) ), I can see why Dox doesn't want to distribute a modded version. Here's hoping for a good new 181/2/3/4 soon. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted January 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I've gone back to my 180.84.1 if that helps :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eleron911 Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I've gone back to my 180.84.1 if that helps :) The ones I`m using right now, best ones for GTA IV ... I`m playing it on 1920x1200,med details, 10 distance and whatever, 20 traffic, 0 shadows, runs nicely :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jason Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I'm already using my optimised 185.20,I wont make it public or give it the beta testers until a better 185.xx driver comes out. Really? What didn't you like about them, cause according to this testing: http://www.co2-solid.ro/the-best-nvidia-dr...or-your-imac/2/ they are one of the best drivers out there.

Dox Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 yah, really, There wasn't anything I didnt like about them, just waiting for nvidia to release them officially (185.xx) so I can see the release notes and give better support. I'm not bothered by 3d marks or vantage scores, only real gaming numbers :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Bad benchmarkers are still less interesting as tweak candidates. I just admire how NVidia can better their drivers in a long run and duds have been scarce - except 180.20, which was really fast bencher - and crasher/troublemaker.

Dox Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 my thoughts are I need to know more details about what OS you are using Your Specs and what setting of the driver you are using (quality, balance or performance) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dox Posted January 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 uninstall what you have now. Download version 180.84.1 and run the .exe to install the driver (my driver has an installer no need for modded inf). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilson Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 my thoughts areI need to know more details about what OS you are using Your Specs and what setting of the driver you are using (quality, balance or performance) I am using Windows Vista 64-bit. Its on the new Gateway p-7805u from bestbuy. Many people on notebook review said they were using your 180.84 drivers and they worked perfectly. This system has a GeForce 9800M GTS 1 GB of VRAM. My system on your drivers will run all my steam games (i.e. team fortess 2 and left 4 dead), but when I try Stalker:Clear Sky(digital download from Direct2Drive) it blue screens. I have tried quite a few things. I installed your drivers correctly and then clean installed Clear Sky and it blue screens. I tried to Install the game first make sure it runs and then clean install your drivers and still blue screens. I'm at my wits end here. If you have any solutions that would be awesome otherwise no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgr8one Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 (edited) my overclocked gpu (GeForce Go 7400) core and memory speeds drop down to 125/300 from 523/850 when using these drivers. any help would be appreciated?

Dox Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 1)does it drop down in gaming? 2)Or are you checking the clock speeds when not gaming? (in desktop srufing the net for example) if its 1= gpu downclocks itself due to avoid damage 2= normal powermizer feature to save power and heat.
