Blacky Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) I hope this one works with StarCraft 2, the previous drivers 196 and 197 would make the game crash at loading. Edit: YES, they do fix the StarCraft 2 issues. Edited March 23, 2010 by Blacky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Installed OK using the 197.15 inf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brain86 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Dont work on my Asus G50V (9700mGT) like the two other versions (197.13 /.15 ). The FPS are stuck @ 10fps constant in every game...anyone know how to fix this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1800Allen Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 This driver is recommended for the StarCraft II beta. It supports GeForce 6, 7, 8, 9, 100, 200, and 300-series desktop GPUs and ION desktop GPUs. This release adds compatibility fixes for the StarCraft II beta and for some DirectX 8 applications but is otherwise identical to version 197.13 Right from the Nvidia site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Does anybody know if this fixes the no-PhysX problem that was occurring on the last few drivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipper Posted March 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Have a try; for me it works, I installed the latest 9.10.0222 and no problems here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve30x Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Have a try; for me it works, I installed the latest 9.10.0222 and no problems here. This driver comes with a newer Physix driver v09.10.0129. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
net.cat Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 so is this better than 197.03 ? and ... how much better!? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korn1699 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 (edited) StarCraft II isn't working for me with these. It just sits there with the title popup.. I cleaned the old driver just to make sure it wasn't old files, but that didn't fix it for me. Edit: Even after cleaning these off in safe mode and installing drivers that had worked on this machine with StarCraft II, it still won't get past the title popup.. :) Edit Again: Uninstalling StarCraft II and re-installing it fixed my problem. It is working with these drivers for me now. Edited March 24, 2010 by Korn1699 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest twisteds7 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Waking up from sleep/hibernation work with these? Most desktop drivers I've tried don't seem to work well with notebook functions such as lid closing. I usually wait for the mobile driver, but it's been so long since one was released!

Blacky Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hahaha, alright so check this out: If I mod the driver myself by manually adding my video card into the inf, it installs just fine but GPU-Z reports that I am missing OpenCL support. If I use the laptopvideo2go modded inf, OpenCL is reported as working fine but now Direct Compute is said to be unsupported. I guess more work is needed on the inf. I have a GTX 280M in a Clevo M570TU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest yay Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 PhysX continues to not work on my 8600M GT with this driver or with any of the last 5 PhysX releases from several months ago... Is anyone even pretending to figure out what is wrong with this stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacky Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 (edited) Which "Section00#" are you using when you edit the INF on your own? I am using the same settings that are used for the GTS 250 as it has the same core as the GTX 280M. Edited March 24, 2010 by Blacky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Firepower Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 BSOD vlddmkm.sys error after clean install of W7 64bit , had to reinstall windows after multiple driver installs of BSOD and then nvidia driver not installing because no longer detecting GPU , windows using standard VGA driver. not happy :) searching google shows these are common fault.

RanCorX2 Posted March 25, 2010 Report Share Posted March 25, 2010 (edited) if you have problems re-installing your drivers make sure you remove the .inf files from C:\Windows\inf as that can lead to issues install newer or older drivers. They are usually listed as OEM(number).inf also remove the driver folder(s) from C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository they should be under nv_XX leave the nv_lh folder becauses a default driver that came with windows. make sure you check the contents of the inf files & the driver folders before deleting though, just to be sure your deleting the right stuff.
