Guest crazed Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 Please bring back the quadro drivers. New dells such as the e6400-e6500's have them. If not what should we use for best performance? I know you don't have much time but why do you not include these anymore? Crazed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lordmonkey Posted June 26, 2009 Report Share Posted June 26, 2009 good drivers but can't overclock cuz rivatuner won't even detect them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemesisHunter Posted June 27, 2009 Report Share Posted June 27, 2009 Reminder to all of you who fail to overclock these drivers with RivaTuner 2.24 : The reason is RivaTuner 2.24 does not natively support these drivers, but you can forcefully emulate them. To all those who are complaining about RivaTuner not working with these drivers, you can get back most functionality by forcing the driver version in the "Power User" settings. To do that, follow these steps:1.) Open RivaTuner 2.) Open the "Power User" tab (third tab at the top) 3.) Click the "Open Database" button (first icon of a folder at the bottom) 4.) Browse for and open the "RivaTuner.rtd" database file (normally found in the RivaTuner root folder) 5.) Make sure "Hexadecimal Display" and "Protect Database Entries" buttons are unselected/off (5th and 6th buttons on the bottom) 6.) Expand "RivaTuner \ System" (should be the first one in the list) 7.) Scroll down to "ForceDriverVersion", double-click in the "Value" area next to it, and enter 18585 You should be able to do the normal custom stuff and get more accurate temperature readings now. RivaTuner is in "Driver Emulation Mode", and will still say "No Supported Drivers", but it will work... Enjoy. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
namaiki Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 I was just wondering, what is the resolution 1768 x 992? Is it to do with HDMI overscan, because using it via HDMI to my 47" LCD just nearly fills up the screen (slightly not wide enough so 1cm black bars on the left and right borders of the screen) unlike 1920x1080 which is supposed to be the native resolution but magnificently rolls off the sides of my TV panel.

Guest Dysic Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 I have a Gateway p7805u. I want my computer to run GTA 4 smoothly. Is this the best driver? Also, I installed physx 8.09.04, and then version 9.09.0428. When I checked in Programs/Features, I saw that versions showed up. Then when I restarted computer, the older version disappeared. Also, how do I check to see which version is installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if this driver is the fastest driver for GTA IV but its modded toprovide improved performance over the in modded driver of the same version.

Lycidias Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Thank you! But Now I have tried you Vista_185.68, the release before this. All is running good. your XP_185.68 on my windows xp(now its win7) ran good too. Why is the 185.85 not working for me? Sorry for my English! P.S. 179.48(you've posted) or your 185.68? Whats the Difference? Thank you very,very much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the Difference? Thank you very,very much! 179.48 is the official nvidia notebook driver which supports geforce go 7 series cards natively, which is why it may work better for you. If you want to know the difference in the drivers just read the offficial release notes in both drivers from nvidia's website.

Guest ALZARD Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Hardware: GM45+NV 9600 GT 256 DDR3 OS: Windows Vista SP1 Thank for Dox's fantastical work, now my BenQ Joybook S-42 PT-01 was boosted. Anyway, something bad happened... 1. Comparing to official driver provided by BenQ, the battery duration was reduced from 2.5 hrs to 1 hrs since I have installed Dox's C driver...(just doing some chores like listen to music or surf Internet) 2. In GM45 mode, when I clicked graphic property of intel, it could not be shown correctly with initial page.(no options could be selected, other pages was fine) 3. In GM45 mode, crash sometimes happens.... Following are some problems which I have encountered, I was just wondering is there any similar situation happen to someone?

Papa Midnight Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Hey DOX, I'm curious to know if this is a common bug. Since I began using your drivers (which have worked great and resulted in lower temperatures as well), I've been having problems with external VGA monitors. HDMI monitors work fine, but D-sub monitors refuse to display images. I don't know the reason for this and have not been able to figure it out. The laptop display works just fine. What's funny is Windows will believe there is an external display (But may roll through about 3 different connection cycles) and even get all the monitors information due to PnP, and even output as such (resulting in PowerMizer disabling), but there will be zero output to the external monitor which continues to flash its power indicator off an on as if there is no solid signal.

NitrousX Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 (edited) To Dox - This is the best release ever. Currently running this on my Asus M50vm laptop Win 7 x64 stable. I was running previously on the 186 WHQL drivers but I had many problems both in-game and on the desktop. Keep up the great work, NitrousX.

namaiki Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Neither your 185.85 version nor standard 185.85 or 186.03 with modded infs works correctly for me for HDMI Audio.HDMI audio is working fine for me with DOX 185.85.Nvidia Control Panel has a setting to allow screen resizing.

mrubins Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Hey Dox, Thanks so much for this. studio xps 13 user here with hybrid sli. In your 185.85 from a clean install, I can set the SLI mode (boost/save) in the tray. However, it always defaults to ON upon restart. Is there any way to make this setting persist?
