Guest Guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 I tried this driver just now on my Sony (WIndows XP home) 64MB nVIDIA GeForce FX 5600 Go and once i entered windows my screen went black and my comp unresponsive. Is this the wrong driver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexandertyler Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 This is by far the best driver I've used from the site. My nvsvc32.exe memory issue seems to have been rectified. Also, using the benches in Half-Life 2 Lost Coast with all of the bells and whistles maxed out I was hitting over 70 FPS. On Counter Strike Source I was hitting over 110 FPS. I'll run 3dmark05 and post those numbers too. GREAT DRIVER! Later, Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That service is now installed but disabled for all Mobile GPU's It is very easily enabled again, just the reverse of enableing it. I also had lots of problems with this service of late so it had to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexandertyler Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 Dear Justin, My specs are on the sidebar as part of my profile but I'll list them again: System Information · Clevo D900T · SUBSYS_09001558 · VBIOS: v5.41.02.26.02 · Windows XP Pro SP2 · 1680x1050 WSXGA+ Pentium 4 560 3.6 GHz, 2 GB DDR-2 533 MHz RAM, GF Go 6800 OC 360/720 from stock 250/600, 2 x 60 GB 7,200 RPM Hitachi HD in RAID-0 Array. I was running at 1024x768 with full AA and anisotropic filtering with graphics quality on high performance. My 3DMARK05 score on 1024x768 with 2AA and Optimal filtering on VS_03 gave me a 4117 -- the highest I've ever had. Good lookin' out.

Maier Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 With this driver my fan doesnt shut down, the thermal reg is enabled. Also in silent mode the clock speeds doesnt lower to the 2d clocks. Very wierd :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rip Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'm chugging along here with a Go 6800 (Inspiron 9300, not a huge dell person, but i formatted after i got it and the hardware wasn't priced too bad). Anyway, their driver support is junk, so i've been visiting you guys for awhile now, you've got no idea how much its appreciated from this end. Anyway, i put on the 83.40s yesterday because i havn't updated in quite a while now, 3-5 months, somewhere in there, and some new stuff i figured would benefit from it. Unfortionately i seem to be having a couple of issues. Whenever there's a large color difference on the screen (say i'm playing a game and look towards the sky), it has this tendancy to.....i'll use the term 'lag' even though its not a connectivity issue. Its not something i've experienced before, i was wondering if anyone has had issues with this as well. (It occurs on multiple applications, even on my screensave which is a firework show, whenever a firework explodes it will cause it to pause for a split second. System specs are: Inspiron 9300 Centrino 1.86, 2MB l2 Go 6800 256MB XP Pro w/ SP2 1GB DDRII (533mhz) 60GB 7200RPM HD Audigy 2 ZS Notebook Oh yeah, the screen is the lovely 1920*1200 w/ anti-glare coating thing, but this occurs at lower resolutions as well.

Bill Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 I would say it is probably the driver causing your problem Rip, try the 82.12 driver or the next WHQL one that nvidia puts up on their site. Make sure you un-install before the downgrade unless you like black screens... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ok, i'll probably end up doing that over the next couple of days, although i havn't gotten any issues like black screans yet, i'll remember to uninstall. Standard ctrl panel uninstall or should i use something like drivercleaner? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattman Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 Uninstall via ctrl panel then reboot to safe mode and run drivercleaner :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 He shouldn't need to use a driver cleaner, but it doesn't hurt. :) Also Pieter puts some pretty nice uninstall stuff in the INF these days, it catches just about everything. But yeah, black and blue screens are no fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check and make sure your Vertical-Sync is turned on, then the image shouldn't "break" when you do a fast looking movement.

Guest Guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Hi everybody. I just purchased a e1705 from dell with a 7800 go (non gtx) I am assuming that I simply download the driver and replace it with your inf, correct? Also, will I have the ability to set the clock speed and gpus if I install this with your inf? Thanks sooo much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Yes you will have the ability to OC. I would recommend the 81.98 driver or the 82.12 driver though, which can be found by clicking the driver recommend link in my signiture.
