K4m1k4z3 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 I guess there's no point in installing 1.1 if we already got 1.0 working, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 When I open RivaTuner with these drivers in the Driver settings it merely states "ForceWare detected". In previous Dox releases it would say something to the effect of, "Dox Optimised ForceWare 185.xx". To see if this was an issue with RivaTuner I checked the driver name with GPU-Z 0.3.8 and in Driver Version it reads, "nvlddmkm 8.17.11.9562 (ForceWare 195.62) / Win7 64". I'm not positive, but I recall seeing the Dox Optimised message there as well. I'm just curious if this means I installed them incorrectly or you stopped renaming them.

Correct. :) When I open RivaTuner with these drivers in the Driver settings it merely states "ForceWare detected".

He stopped renaming them because there was a rare issue caused by it, with a particular game I think it turned up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisteds7 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Interesting, I dropped 300 points in 3DMark06 compared to Nvidia' 195.62... :) Right now the only game I'm playing is Heroes of Newerth and this driver runs it just fine.

veritas72 Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 (edited) is there any reason not to write a quadro nvs 160m into the cards list to install on that rather than a geforce? Edited January 14, 2010 by veritas72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twisteds7 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 I reinstalled them and gained those 300 points back. Just a few points below the Nvidia version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hybrid Graphics Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 A file named igcompkrng500.bin is lost in the package of 32bit version. And it seems that there is something wrong with idg10umd32.dll or igdumd32.dll, which leads to return to 9600MGT mode from X4500 mode incorrectly.

Guest Trikster Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Speaking of hybrid graphics, on the Alienware m17x that has the hybrid graphics setup, will these drivers work properly? The 195.62 nVidia drivers work just fine, but I have heard of some better results with these, but none make any mention of the hybrid graphics feature with this machine. Much regards...

Shakey_Jake33 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 Interesting, I dropped 300 points in 3DMark06 compared to Nvidia' 195.62... :) This might happen. These drivers are optimised for real world game performance. Synthetic benchmarks like 3D Mark are not very useful, and I'd rather see in-game performance increases even if it means 3D Mark scores drop.

Twisteds7 Posted January 14, 2010 Report Share Posted January 14, 2010 This might happen. These drivers are optimised for real world game performance. Synthetic benchmarks like 3D Mark are not very useful, and I'd rather see in-game performance increases even if it means 3D Mark scores drop. Ah, yes I know that they are for real world performance. I just hadn't expected that type of drop in a benchmark. Actually upon a re-installation those 300 points came back and it benchmarked nearly identical to nVidia's driver. I busted Counter-Strike: Source out for some fun last night and these drivers handled that without any issues (as to be expected). We need some people with newer games to report on the real world performance gains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
