justinkw1 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) First NVIDIA graphics driver released in the 260 branch to be WHQL certified, only for Tesla products at the moment. A modded INF is required for GeForce/Quadro/ION. Also includes HD Audio driver v1.1.9.0 and 3DVision v260.81. US Download Links: Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7 x86 (32-bit) Windows XP / Windows Vista / Windows 7 x64 (64-bit) Release Notes Edited October 6, 2010 by justinkw1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fishsticks910 Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 The release notes mention something called TCC which somehow uses non Nvidia integrated graphics for non-2d/3d operations (I think it says it will use them for directcompute instead). That'd be awesome because my nvidia 8400m gs graphics card is terrible and can use all the help it can get. It's sad but that's the same with my t5550 processor.

I just realized that they're referring to tesla cards. I hope the TCC thing will eventually make it to the Geforce 8 Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 This driver breaks PhysX on all the cards I have tested (256mb 8600mGT, 384mb 9600GSO, and 1gb 9500GT) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Marley Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Guess it's not worth using if PhysX is broken. I was actually wrong. For some reason, it defaulted to CPU PhysX in the Nvidia control panel. Switching it to Auto-select or GPU makes PhysX work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange... I have the same laptop as you but I haven't experienced any such problems. What games are you playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gahbmwm5 Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Interesting as I installed these via 'Safe Mode' after uninstalling v260.78 Quadro (Beta), and overall system seems more responsive and definitely shuts down quicker...lol Surfing with FF 4.0b6 and IE9----> (Adobe Flash Player Square release 2)---->Hardware acceleration on both browsers definitely seems smoother....more responsive, possibly the 'placebo effect'....lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Marley Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 I still get massive scrolling slowdowns on pages with Flash in Firefox 4.0b6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Wing Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Strange... I have the same laptop as you but I haven't experienced any such problems. What games are you playing? I play Crysis, Burnout Paradise, BF2142,MW. Also PhysX didn't work for me at all, even after making changes, it's not even in the DL package.

gahbmwm5 Posted October 9, 2010 Report Share Posted October 9, 2010 I still get massive scrolling slowdowns on pages with Flash in Firefox 4.0b6. Hi Michael, Yes indeed confirmed and 'tons of related posts' @mozillaZine Forums, as I presently have Flash Player 10.1.85.3 installed for FF4.0b6, and although I do not have a total freeze just going to: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ It is still an issue that FF Dev are trying to sort out...FF4.0b7 is taking much longer then originally anticipated, with major blockers...Oh well Beta Browser Development... Back on topic soooo happy to have found this great, resourceful site (even though I have a ancient GPU), man is it fun to be able to install... properly new drivers...moral victory for moi...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
