Guest Robert Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 Well here is my issue, i have an alienware area 51m 7700, swg just updated to publish 28, then up to 28.3 since then my nvidia 6800 go in my notebook well using it the game keeps client crashing, I guess alot of people have this happening, alienware keeps sending me used ati x800 mobile gpu's that are used, 3 doa, 1 worked for 4-6 months then started acting up and died... then they send me anouther one used, the gpu it self had thermal compound on it, the metal casing around the card fell off and they sent me the new style heat sink for the old card... sucks... well anyways back on topic, all of the drivers i have used here, swg works with very few client crashes, or makes the game super choppy, or they affect my other games and make them run like crap, any info any one has would be great. talked to a friend from nvidia, and he told me yeah its their drivers last update was back in 2005... just hope after he made a call for me alienware will get some modded up to date official drivers... or so they say their dev tech team are working on them now atm... or really what i think one of two things, their techs are lieing though their teeth, or some other company has been given the task...just wish i could find some drivers that would run swg stable, and run the rest of my games stable also without blue screens of death, the normal drivers alienware offers from sept 2005 would just run swg.... runs the rest of my games ok but the graphics do not look as good as the modified ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ok here is my next post on this Posted May 12, 2006 Report Share Posted May 12, 2006 I have the latest drivers from this site with the modded inf, all of my drivers are up to date, every thing, this includes having the bios flashed, even went as far as doing a full system wipe and then reinstalled every thing... alot of people have beeing having dif graphical issues with publish 28 plus on starwars galaxies without the laterest drivers ect. ATM alienware only offers this driver for the 7700 mobile system for the 6800 GO For Models: NVIDIA GeForce Go6800 FX (m7700) Graphics driver for Windows 2000/XP/MCE. File Size: 23.2 MB File Date: 9/26/2005 Platform(s): Windows XP, Windows XP Media Center, Windows 2000 my friend from nvidia said these drivers are not new enough due to the graphical options swg has activated due to the new drivers nvidia released and he told me to go to this site, as well as contacted alienware and let them know that their driver release was not cutting it. I did get the latest drivers I could from this site, but it likes to cause a blue screen of death at times. Also tryed some drivers from a different thrid party wow they where amazing and ran smooth too bad my comp crashed after playing for two hours. I know there is not much love for alienware, Me I am never buying a computer from them again. Going with Falcon North West or I am just going to say screw it and build my self a new all MSI Hardware Super rig, my last one lasted me 4 years untill i had to toss it. I am also wondering if the drivers im using 80 series 8443 with the correct inf, are worth using using them right now and if i set the resolution up to the really high settings on my machine 1600x1000+ since my comp supports those high resolution is there any thing a third party driver that can handle these settings and not crash on fear, bf 2, SWG, republic commando, star wars battle front 2, oblivion and wow? BTW never buy from alienware they got bought out by dell I have tryed over 10 3rd party drivers and they cannot seem to handle my games at max settings on my video card and or the graphics are terrible, or the resolution I have to set way too low if I wanted crapola graphics I would have gotten a psp or a nintendo ds even a game boy. My computers configuration Alienware AREA 51m 7700 notebook p4 3.8ghz HT prescott 4gigs of ram 4200 speed 1gigx4"waiting on windows vista" 120mb of hd space 60gighdx2 on raid 0 7200 rpm "yeah i know raid 0 on 7200rpms is pointless" Nvidia 6800 G0 PCI-E 256mb video ram Mobile gpu " I want a new ATI x800 mobile gpu but alienware keeps on sending me dead on arrivals and one that lasted 4-6 months started not letting my comp power up then it died, waiting on 5th one now" Latest Bios Flash, Latest keybord bios keybord Flash, Latest Audio Drivers, Latest Direct X, All windows updates. Official Drivers run all my games good but SWG, and the graphics are not that great on the other games, Have found drivers where one of two things other games play great and look awsome and swg does not work right keep getting a clientcrash from it to desktop, or swg works a little sluggish graphics, other games look like crap and one of the nv files crashes and I get the blue screen of death and have to manually power down. Not sure if this helps any but any one with suggestions that would be great. Well I would send my notebook crashing into the wall, but not paying atm for a new rig will throw it and end its life if you give me the cash for a new killer rig...lol, sorry I am in the military getting out soon, this computer has been my entire entertainment center since I got it last year in the mail in iraq, and with me getting out soon on a medical retirement this thing is basically going to my work tool, home entertainment center and gaming rig, I watch tv, dvds, play games on it. And atm I dont want a new rig have to save money so when I get back into the real world I can start out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Robert Posted May 13, 2006 Report Share Posted May 13, 2006 wow all i can say is ###### stable, the graphics look awsome!!!!!!! from the TweaksRUs site stability, graphics rock, only have a minor problem with one of my games its not threatening a little annoying but at this point happy every thing runs really great! Thanks for the tweaksRUS info, have to read up on wyw in wow some graphics have white instead like in the social box where your friends, raid info ect is, and on my bags the inventory your toon has is fine but the addition bags are not displaying right going to look into this. once again thank you!!!! At this point not sure if i even go with the ati x800 or the geforce 6800 go , the graphics on the 6800 go with these tweak drivers are awsome, if any one has the same notebook as me get these drivers to fix your 6800 issues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
