Modded driver update?

Hi @ll,

is there a hope for an updated modified driver file (nvlddmkm) for new driver 191.07 ??

I use v190.62 and W7 32bit and it works great, but new drivers would be fine. ;)

best regards
hansi

I ran 190.62 and just installed 191.07 right over, working just fine, using Win 7 64-bit, HAL and nvlddmkm mod

with HAL mod there is NO NEED to use modified Forceware.

Oh,your mainboard support SLI Originally.but not should. I don't think that 3DMARK 06 work well in 64bit SYS. try another driver just.

First of all thnx to the devolopers for this amazing modification. Using Windows7 64 + SliStringInstaller 1.81 + Halmod 0.9 + non-modded driver, sli now finally works on my Gigabyte EP45-DS3 and 2x asus 8800 ultra's. Gonna post some testresults later on :)
The only problem is of course the testmode. I was already able to remove the testmode watermark, but still.. won't running in testmode give me any problems/limitations for future usage?

Grtz & Thnx again
