GTX 280/260 teaser drivers

[wolf]

no worries, man i am LOVING these drivers, i bet ATi didn't expect this to combat the 48xx's!

Dang, if these are that good i might just keep my 9800gtx and not do my step up to the 260.

 

[wolf]

they really are that good. i cant remember drivers that have just instantly unlocked ~15% extra performance!

 

[pagalms]

Works great on G80 GTS

 

[Psychoholic]

Do they work with rivatuner?

 

[wolf]

booyeah they do

 

[Psychoholic]

Mine isnt working with vista64.

 

[wolf]

whats the error, or specific problem

 

[Psychoholic]

its just telling me my hardware is not compatible.

I copied and pasted all the device id's from your inf file.

 

[pagalms]

I had to add few more lines at the middle of *.inf file to get them work under Vista 64

 

[Psychoholic]

The middle?

I had to add few more lines at the middle of *.inf file to get them work under Vista 64

 

[wolf]

all i had to change in mine was this:


[Version]
Signature = "$Windows NT$"
Provider = %NVIDIA%
ClassGUID = {4D36E968-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Class = Display
CatalogFile = NV_DISP.CAT
DriverVer = 05/22/2008, 6.14.11.7726

and added my hardware string (9800GTX)

 

[pagalms]

Try this (attach).
BTW I added support for both G92 & G80 GTS's and 9800GTX.

Ok got it working, found a vista64 modded inf on another forum.

So far so good, tested in my new favorite game (GRID)

Bottom two tests are with the new driver.. Nice 5-6frame improvement on the average.. Minimum frames went up too.

biggest improvements i have seen are in UT3, at 1920x1200, huge min and avg fps increases. im talkin 20%

I'm downloading these right now, I can't wait. I hope they work as welll for my cards as they did for yours.

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

Setup could not locate any drivers that are compatible with my hardware
I don't know what do add to the INF to support my GPU (Never modded any software beofre)
Help please?

 

[pagalms]

Unpack drivers and swap original nv4_disp.inf with this one and install.

 

[wolf]

failing that, i can help you one on one making a .inf file specifically for you.

but thanks for that pagalms, the more people we can get happenein on these drivers the better! best release to date.

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

I'm not sure I'm putting it in the right directory, should I be putting it in the main directory or the "original inf(s)" file?

 

[wolf]

main directory

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

main directory

That didn't work, I'll have to have you help me you have MSN?

 

[pagalms]

Damit, i forgot that 9600GT is G94. I'll correct that.
Edit: this should work.

however i think pagalms is correcting an inf for you now, either way we can chat about it.
