GTX 280/260 teaser drivers

psyko12 · Jun 17, 2008

Code:

; Localizable Strings
NVIDIA                 = "NVIDIA"
NVIDIA_GT200.DEV_05E1.1  = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280"
NVIDIA_GT200.DEV_05E2.1  = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260"
[B]NVIDIA_BR02.DEV_02E1.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS"[/B]
NVIDIA_Win2KDualView   = "NVIDIA Dualview"
NVIDIA_MultiView       = "NVIDIA Multiview"
DiskID1 = "NVIDIA Windows XP x64 Edition Driver Library Installation Disk 1"
NVSVC.name = "NVIDIA Display Driver Service"
NVSVC.desc = "Provides system and desktop level support to the NVIDIA display driver"
NVUninstall.desc = "NVIDIA Display Driver"

Here's what I did, or should I place it into other sections of the INI. Got my ID off a c++ code from nvidia and compiled it to an exe file.. Just rename the attachment to .exe.

Btw please tell me if I need to paste/insert the bolded text to other sections of the inf.

Ty

EDIT: BAH, hehe I'm blind! Saw your post with the modded infs lool gonna try installing now and post back... Brb

all i had to do in mine to get them to work was add the 9800GTX DEV string to the ; Localizable Strings section.

however other have had to add much more to get them to work.

and yet others still have had no success whatsoever.

best of luck dude, everyone needs these drivers

psyko12 · Jun 17, 2008

Installed flawlessly on my machine... 7600GS..

gonna try if I have gained something.

Provided INF by pagalms worked for me! XD, although I think I was on the track to making my own modded inf heh.. Thanks man!

So i wonder if the 177.34's will work on the G92 aswell? They give the 200 Series cards a boost over the 177.26's.

Im liking this, i have the highest single gpu vantage score now

pagalms · Jun 17, 2008

I'm glad i could help for you guys :toast:

thanks mna!!!! its better than the other sites out their..i dont think they even know these are out so these charts are technically misinforming us for theory purposes only until we can compare for real

wolf · Jun 17, 2008

first off WOW

all tests max settings, Devil may cry 4 demo benchmark

1920x1200 +4xAA
Q6600 @ 3591mhz
9800GTX @ 800/2000/2500
DDR2@ 798mhz

http://www.techpowerup.org/uploaded.php?file=080617/9800GTX_174.74_vs_177.26_vs177.35.jpg

here are the differences in moving from 174.74 drivers to 177.26, i am HIGHLY impressed.

Scene 1: +15.8%
Scene 2: +14.4%
Scene 3: +15.2%
Scene 4: +17.2%

this is the increase from 177.26 to 177.35

Scene 1: +5.2%
Scene 2: +5.7%
Scene 3: +8.9%
Scene 4: -0.9%

so the overall increase from 174.74 to 177.35 :eek:

Scene 1: +20.2%
Scene 2: +19.2%
Scene 3: +22.6%
Scene 4: +16.5%

especially take note of how different the graphs themselves look going from 174.74 to 177.35 :rockout:

WOW nvidia, you've pulled through again for us, i eagerly await the next release!

rampage · Jun 17, 2008

do we have to mod the 177.35 to work with cards other then the new GTX 2*0?

i am at work atm so i cant hunt around on the net too much to get my answeres so i thought i would just ask here.

figured out how to get riva tuner to detect these is anyone is intrested

In the power user tab, expand Rivatuner\System and look down the list for ForceDriverVersion, enter 444d (17485 in hex), then ok to exit.
reopen rivatuner and it should be in driver emulation mode

tay

i dont have a scientific calk but you may need to enter in hex 17735
