Guest guiguiaspi Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 i think that there is not the inf in X64 version . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Previously, with all the dox drivers, my memory clock wouldn't go into performance mode, with this one, it actually does! Great driver btw, far more optimised than the original one. BTW, for any of you experiencing the same problem with your memory clock, just disable power mizer and make it so that it runs on performance mode all the time, it'll solve the problem.

apfel Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 great driver. problem with sleeping mode fixed for me. but one small problem is still alive for my fx 570m under windows vista 64bit sp1. i'm not able to activate scaling, while me external monitor is active. already tried the enoverscanfix from nvidia with no luck. used original graphic card drivers from fujitsu siemens for my h250 - no luck. tried differnt drivers from this page - no luck. now i'll stay at the dox driver because of the great preformance. image of the problem i mean: http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/2163/scalingmu3.jpg it would be great if anyone could help me with the scaling problem.

Blacky Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 The driver works fine until now. In GTA4 I get very wiered water reflections, more precise it acts as if it is a huge mirror bouncing around on the entire water surface. It wasn't there with the 181.22 drivers. I am have an 9800M GTX and using balance settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I just passed by just to say thanks. This is the best driver you released so far Dox. For sure. Sleep issue has been fixed, performance has improved... A nice way to say "goodbye". :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Codyksp Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Nice driver, my sleep function works now without having to disable PowerMizer (8600M GT). Also went from 4500 to 4600 3dmarks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi Dox, I Have tried several of your drivers, and I have a resolution problem with all (included this one), except the 185.20 one. I can't go higher than a 1024x720 res, whereas it is suppose to be 1200x800... problem with drivers: 181.22, 181.22.1, 181.20 works fine with: 185.20 I'm running on XP SP3, my laptop is an acer 5930g with a 9600M GT. Do you have any ideas?!! Thanks a lot for your work, it's just awesome what you do. I am really grateful for it. Audren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can add 1280x800 as a custom resolution in the nvidia CP, but I can't actually run games with that resolution (namely left4dead, haven't tried anything else).
