pocky Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Hi DOX,First of before I say anything I must say thank you for the time you put into these drivers. I like most am having GTA4 problems. After intalling your original beta driver of 180.84 GTA4 worked great! After I instaled you final version GTA4 worked even more smoothly except after 10min or so the game slowed down heavily and was pretty much unplayable. I had to exit the game, restart it then it worked fine but again only for a short time. Any Ideas!? I have a Core Duo 2.0 4mgs Ram 8600m GT 512mg Dang! 4 Metal Gear Solids worth of RAM XD That thing must run like a beast! :) Edit: Oh no1's said anything about L4D, but judging from the crash I got earlier I guess it hasn't fixed it... d'oh!!

Guest HARD_G Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hi thx for the driver. 8600m gt 2gb ram pentium T7300 vista 32 I get stuttering problems and downclocks. I have tried the powermizer and no matter what, I get horrible downclocks (from 3d to 3d-low clock) for no reason. Also the game runs at above 20 frames at first, but it goes to 15~20 after a short while. (this is not when i go outside vs. inside in GTA4. I tried going to around and coming back to the same place, but frame rate decreases dramatically comparing to the initial frame rate.) thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zyukr Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 Dox can u help with my problem.

gr8ak1 Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 im not entirely sure but if you have sli itll still show the amont of vram you have on 1 card as they both need to load the same textures and whatever. When i turn my sli on i get much better performance but i still get the same amount of memory shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wook Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 When enabling SLi you wont have .. well for example. I have a 8700m GT 512 mb card. when i have sli enabled im still only using 512 for each card. SLi does not double the amount of memory that you can use, it just uses two cards to render 3d then display that on one screen. so no you wont have double the memory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Danny Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 I can't install this with my 8800 GTX, I have two in SLI. The install says it could not find any hardware that matches the driver.... Could I just add my GPU ID to the .inf file? Please help DOX, does this driver support my card?

Dox Posted December 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 you can turn of powermizer which means that your clocks will stay at full speed. you can turn it back on you also have an option to tun powermizer on on battery power and off on AC :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claw Posted December 14, 2008 Report Share Posted December 14, 2008 This one is great, that's the first driver so far that's running faster than 178.24 for me. I always go for pure performance and high FPS count, so I chose the Performance option, please include it in your future releases aswell. Good job mate.
