is this another hacked driver or is it official from nvidia?

Cold Storm · Jul 21, 2008

playing with the official ones. I tried the hacked to just try them, but deleted and cleaned it. Wasn't going hacked with my back-up card.

If you are still having trouble with RT 2.09, bring up a run box (WindowKey+R), and run Rivatuner with the /build switch. For example the command on my install would be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner v2.09\RivaTuner.exe" /build

With the quotes, btw.

Cold Storm · Jul 21, 2008

ill try that later on. I'm at work at moment... Gotta love the samsung glyde

psyko12 · Jul 21, 2008

aight hope it'll work out for you...

Cold Storm · Jul 21, 2008

Well, I hope so to, so we can find out, but even if it doesn't then its still fine... its only my back-up

psyko12 · Jul 21, 2008

Ahh I see I hope you get your card from the step-up program and start testing it

I'm interested as well on what scores you might get

Cold Storm · Jul 22, 2008

I'm hoping the same. :toast:

I'll probably play on air for a few weeks then go water on it!

SirJangly · Jul 22, 2008

I am using these drivers, very nice

ntdouglas · Jul 22, 2008

This is day 3 running these drivers. Haven't tried 3dmark yet, but crysis fps is up 4-6. Fur bench is way up especially at higher res. But I've had 2 random reboots after shutting down crysis, and 1 reboot after video encoding for about 45 minutes. But system does seem faster. I will keep testing and post back.

I think IQ went up for me w/ these drivers. I can't tell if perhaps it's just one of those placebo things, but I never thought that before, these just seem to give a sharper and more vibrant image. Vantage runs much smoother now too. I get virtually no stutter now.

Any rebooting issues?

Not at all. I've never graphics related rebooting. Have you been having it in games?

Kursah · Jul 22, 2008

I'm on day 2, so far very stable...can't say if they're any different from .39's...but they don't seem any worse! I have no reboot issues thus far!

:toast:

ntdouglas · Jul 22, 2008

Wow that was quick. lol Only several times after I shut down crysis. Soon as game closes, reboot.

lol, I got the internet add. I haven't played Crysis in forever, I'll try maybe and see if it works fine.

ntdouglas · Jul 22, 2008

Yeah, check it out. Thats why I posted, to see if anybody else was having this problem.

farlex85 · Jul 22, 2008

Well I played for about 15 min and didn't have any problems. Maybe I'll delve back in tomorrow and see if I have some trouble. Your sure it's not a cpu or ram related issue? If it happens when closing the game that doesn't seem like graphics problem to me.

hat · Jul 22, 2008

my 3dmark05 score went down using these drivers. before it was 13k something now its 12k something. I was using 175.19 whql for the geforce 8 series

I've been stable for months now with ram and cpu overclock. Just started with these new drivers. Although its only happened twice and I've played crysis probably 5 or 6 times. Maybe just a conflict with vista64. Who knows. :rolleyes:

ntdouglas · Jul 24, 2008

Well, haven't had reboot in awhile. A good thing I've noticed, crysis actually starts in full screen now. I thought that was a windows 64/crysis bug.

Cold Storm · Jul 24, 2008

Glad to see it's working for you man! :toast:

Can't wait for tomorrow and my GTX!!! :rockout:
