LV2Go driver thread v1.5.3

BSOD on XPS Gen 2 when used with the Modded INF.

Installed with deviceIDs ripped from the 78.11 driver and added to the Dell 84.69 inf using the profile for the

NVIDIA_G70.DEV_0098.2 = "NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800"

worked fine for my Go 6800 Ultra. Powermizer works, service runs, no app error on exit.

[Eaglehawk]

This driver release doesn't solve the closing lid - icon/window moving around issue...useless...

(Yes, I've logged a job with Dell...yes, they tried to fix it using an older driver, but it's the 87.08 driver with modded inf that works)

[Guest sueppchen]

hi @ all,

I've just installed the new driver to my 1710 dell notebook - I am wondering why the temperature info wnet away, with the old driver I could see the actual temp of the 79xx chip. Does anybody know what happened?

Another surprise: got serveraal times error codes (have to stop application...) after install...

If you have a Dell laptop with a 7x.xx series driver, then you don't need to use the modded inf. These are native Dell Geforce Go 7 series drivers. They work great too. Everything runs very smooth.

On my Dell laptop, the latest drivers listed on the Dell site are the 83.13 version. I believe the chip I have (Quadro NVS 110M) is based off the Geforce Go 7300. Since the Quadro NVS 110M is pretty new, I'm not sure which driver to start with. Will these 84.69's work well?

My old laptop had a Geforce Go 5200 and I was using the modded 84.21 drivers.

All I know is that the very first game I tried running the 83.13 WHQL drivers (HL2:EP1) resulted in a total system lockup after a few minutes. The second time I received the ominous blue screen of death after a few minutes.

Any guidence would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, you're video card is listed on the original inf. Your Quadro should work fine.

Thanks, I'll try them.

[Guest wes]

hi.. i have a dell latitude d820 too with nvs 120m, i have downloaded the driver and the modded inf already..

SLoweCSL, is there a significant improvement in 3dmark?

and when i was installing they gave a warning saying

You are installing for this hardware:

NVIDIA GeForce Go7400

is it okay to carry on even if my card is the nvs 120? help appreciated! :)

[soldenburg]

Hi all,

I just installed the 84.69 32 bit driver and my system quit with a blue screen after login.

Any ideas?

[bobwalt]

I installed this on my XPS Gen 2 wth the 7800GTX go and I have had no trouble. BTW- for those who have had problems; did you uninstall the old drivers first?

Dell has since released the 84.69 driver WHQL for the NVS 110M, check to see if they also have one for your D820. The 3DMark 2005 score I received was 1529. Not sure how that compares with your setup. I believe the Quadro NVS 120M is based on the Geforce Go7400 chipset, so I would guess it's ok.

[Guest Guest]

oh thanks!

[Guest Guest]

I'm the proud owner of a D620 with quadro aswell.

After installing these drivers I've ran into a very strange problem. Whenever I change my screen resolution to anything else than 800 x 600, restart (in other words.. log on to windows again), the resolution automatically changes back to 800 x 600.

The only way to avoid this, is to remove video drivers from the system but in that case.. none of the 3D applications work. I've also tried drivers that are released by dell but the same problem still remains.

Would anyone happen to know how to fix this problem?

This driver works perfectly since the previous one 82.12. Before i tested many of them newer than 82.12 like 83.xx,84.xx... even i tried recomended 84.25 but i had always standby problem after wake up always black screen but this 84.69 works fabulous via Pieter's INF version 31.73:))) :)

[Rendal]

Hi, i just installed the new 8469.

In the beginnig i removed the old driver with Driver Cleaner Pro.

Installing of the driver works fine.

After installation i didnt restart and start ATiTool it works also fine.

But after a full restart of the system it says that my GraCard isnt supported, ATiTool didnt work, any games didnt work.

I started a DX diagnositc and it tells me: (it cant start DX 8/9, DX7 works fine)

HRESULT = 0x8004005

Any ideas ??

Sry 4 bad language ^^

I forgot 2 say that i installed Coolbits 2.0

I reinstalled the driver without Coolbits, till now it works fine

So new testing, after 1 hour playing with high resolution and full card acceleration the highest tempreature was 91 °C !!!!!!!!!!!!

I also have 2 say that the system was stable with no grafic bugs.

With the old 87.08 (or so but it was a 87.XX !!!) was it 75 °C on same settings, whats the difference ???

I also get a large speed up with this new card driver.

Can someone explain this? Core and Memory clook speed are the same

When a driver gives bad performance and low temperature check the PowerMizer settings.

The original INF of this drivers now includes and supports by default all mobile GPUs ever used in DELL laptops:

The recently released Quadro FX3500M (used in the Dell Precision M90) is missing from Dell's inf. OK, its only three weeks old or so.

NVIDIA_G71.DEV_029D

Its also missing from the forum sign-up form, btw.

[blueyzfr1]

These drivers are the best so far on my Dell C840.

I have tried all the later ones including 90 series and these give very good DVD performance.

NVIDIA_G71.DEV_029D

Then I would advise to add the 2 missing lines by yourself in the Dell file.

Near the top:
%NVIDIA_G71.DEV_029D%   = nv4_G71_PMM_5_StdCP,[tab][/tab][tab][/tab]	 PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_029D

Near the bottom:

hey guys,

is this driver also working on a 7600go?

it´s not listed on the "supported card list".

[WhiskeySix]

I'm using these with my Dell E1705 Geforce Go 7800 with no problems... with my homemade laptop cooler, I'm stable at 375/930 MHz (up from dell's default of 250/658)
