DeaconSix Posted April 13, 2006 Report Share Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) I have recently purchased a Dell M170 with a 6800 ultra. As everyone knows, dell is crap about putting drivers out that arnt 2 years old. I am having issues with getting stable drivers to run games smoothly like Battlefield 2 and dungeons and dragons online. I know i can get more out of it. Currently, the most stable drivers i have, are the 77.70 i got off of Guru of 3D. I tried the 84.21 with pieters mod INI's, but it created a ton of instability in battlefield 2, and alot of operating system hangups. Does anyone have this type of laptop/vidcard combo, and what are the best/most stable drivers/INIs they have found? thanks in advance Edited April 13, 2006 by DeaconSix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have looked on Dells web site, for the download for the M170 6800 video drivers (and 7800) and the only drivers they ahve are from like september of last year (they are like 78's or something). How do i find a dell release for the 6800 v 84.3 EDIT: Is this what your talking about? if so, do i need to use the mod .INF? http://forums.laptopvideo2go.com/index.php?showtopic=9425 thanks Edited April 14, 2006 by DeaconSix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobilenvidia Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 There is not a driver out there we havn't got so there is no need to look at Dell to find drivers. Chances are well host them here. Yes the link above is correct, try it with out a modded INF first as you machine might be supported.

Guest Hoopajoo Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 I have an xps2 as well and I had to add custom resolutions so as not to have distorted display ratios. 1440x900, 1680x1050, and 1920x1200. Do so in the nvidia graphics properties under "screen resolution and refresh rates" > add custom resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
