Dox Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Thanks for Nautis1100 (for the fix) and Namaiki (for the news). Nautis1100 was kind enough to bring you a patch for the hybrid graphics side of my (old) 185.85 windows 7 x64. Things should work perfectly now. There was an incompatibility between the packaged intel drivers and nvidia 185.85 drivers when I released it in the package. All you need to do is download the patch. Run my installer, wait for the files to extract, put the patch files into the extracted folder and choose hybrid graphics and follow on screen instructions. I am not sure if it will work 100% for Vista x64 though. But probs will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 hey dox the driver 19x are not worth it?????????????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gameo Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Maybe I'm just a bit slow here, but what does this do exactly? Is it a patch that all users who use 185.85 should use or something just for SLI, or what is this all about? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dox Posted August 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 its for hybrid graphic users only. if you dont know what that is, then you havent got a hybrid graphics system (intel + nvidia ). hey dox the driver 19x are not worth it??????????????

kriswill Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) Have an Alienware M17x (hybrid) 9400 + 2x GTX 280M with Windows 7 Ultimate RTM. With 186.42, SLI was working, but getting garbage perf in WOW ~20-30 FPS in 1920x1200, with minimal settings (no AA). Going to give 185.85 with hybrid patch a shot, I'll let you know how it turns out. -- 1. After cleaning with fresh install, the system only sees the 9400 M, not the 2 280M s. 2. Tried plugging in an external monitor to the HDMI port, and screens blanked out and wouldn't return. 3. HARD RESET. system comes back up, colors are all wonky. 4. Checked the NV Control panel, seems that the laptop display is running off of 280M directly, without external screen plugged in. 5. plugged in external monitor again, colors are correct on external only, screens are mirrored. 6. in desktop > set screen resolution > I see 3 monitors, the laptop (2), external 24" (3), and some unknown monitor (1) 7. I turn off display mirroring, colors are still wonked out on internal laptop display (2). Here's the complete System Info: NVIDIA System Information report created on: 08/24/2009 17:22:29 System name: TRANQ [Display] Processor: Intel® Core2 Duo CPU T9800 @ 2.93GHz (2933 MHz) Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit DirectX version: 10.0 GPU processor: GeForce GTX 280M Driver version: 185.85 Stream processors: 128 Core clock: 583 MHz Shader clock: 1450 MHz Memory clock: 950 MHz (1900 MHz data rate) Memory interface: 256-bit Total available graphics memory: 4604 MB Dedicated video memory: 1024 MB System video memory: 0 MB Shared system memory: 3580 MB Video BIOS version: 62.92.89.00.09 IRQ: 19 Bus: PCI Express x8 Gen2 GPU processor: GeForce GTX 280M Driver version: 185.85 Stream processors: 128 Core clock: 583 MHz Shader clock: 1450 MHz Memory clock: 950 MHz (1900 MHz data rate) Memory interface: 256-bit Total available graphics memory: 4604 MB Dedicated video memory: 1024 MB System video memory: 0 MB Shared system memory: 3580 MB Video BIOS version: 62.92.89.00.09 IRQ: 20 Bus: PCI Express x8 GPU processor: GeForce 9400 Driver version: 185.85 Stream processors: 16 Core clock: 450 MHz Shader clock: 1100 MHz Memory clock: 2675 MHz (5350 MHz data rate) Memory interface: 128-bit Total available graphics memory: 3838 MB Dedicated video memory: 128 MB System video memory: 64 MB Shared system memory: 3518 MB Video BIOS version: 62.79.60.00.03 IRQ: 22 Bus: FPCI [Components] nvCpl.cpl 2.5.373.05 NVIDIA Control Panel Applet nvCplUI.exe 2.5.373.05 NVIDIA Control Panel nvViTvS.dll 8.15.11.8585 NVIDIA Video and TV Server NVMCTRAY.DLL 8.15.11.8585 NVIDIA Media Center Library nvDispS.dll 8.15.11.8585 NVIDIA Display Server NVCPL.DLL 8.15.11.8585 NVIDIA Compatible Windows7 Display driver, Version 185.85 NVCUDA.DLL 8.15.11.8585 NVIDIA CUDA 2.2 driver nvGameS.dll 8.15.11.8585 NVIDIA 3D Settings Server ---- EDIT 8. Tried out WoW with 185.85 with following results (1920x1200) external display as primary (HDMI): (in Ironforge) Windowed no AA 60-70FPS Windowed 2xAA 35-40FPS Full-screen no AA 100-135FPS Full-screen 2xAA 60-70FPS 9. It seems like when I switch graphics settings, I get optimal FPS, and it slowly degrades to about half the FPS over the next minute. Possibly a video memory problem? Or, it's using system memory for textures? Edited August 25, 2009 by kriswill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
