[GPU overclock] - Latitude E6400 Quadro NVS 160 - (optimize: gaming)

I'm using the 185.20 32-bit drivers. Those are good as well.

 

Oh ok then, my mistake...
I saw on laptop2go that the latest drivers for 32-bit OS (other than WIn7) is "179.43". So good, I guess!

 

I have tried this with the XP drivers and get nothing but blue screens after installing the laptop2go drivers. I have made sure I am infact downloading the XP drivers and have tried 182.x and 179.x, seems it just doesnt like XP for some reason. Still I dont game at all, so it really doesnt bother me, just reporting my findings

 

XP with new system... is like if XP was walking on eggs.
In 2006 when I got my desktop computer I was having issues like crazy. I basically needed to re-install XP everytime I wanted to update my drivers... I had to dig up my floppy drive to install SATA drivers (as I haveXP SP1 disk) and about 3GB of updates to do... take 2 days to re-install everything and all your stuff and then optimize everything. When I put Vista... well... you install 25min... your done.. few updates.. devices just work. My desktop never ran so smoothly and fast compared to XP. My laptop and desktop both run Vista 64-bit and to say the truth... I don't feel an urge to get Win7... I think I can seriously skip Win7, despite trying Beta and the leaked RC version of it. Sure it has a lot of nice things, but Vista 64-bit a new system... is good!


Well anyway... it's kinda too late now, unless you can upgrade to Vista 32-bit... it's not 64-bit... but it's something at least.

Did you try this, uninstall your drivers first, and then install the geforce drivers, or use older drivers.

 

I must now sellect new values for my GPU what do you suggest me to set it at ???

My card;
NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800M GTX 1,024 MB TurboCache™ GDDR3 (800 MHz)
Stock;
GPU Clock :500 MHz
Memory: 799 MHz
Shader: 1250 MHz

Whic values is safe to start with ???
GPU-Z has logged my temperature (GPU) never over 80 C [stock] [GTA IV - at full] Now it is 55 C [idle]

I CAN'T MOVE COOLING OPTION TOO 100% ???

 

I have no idea, Increase slowly the bars, in 10MHz and see if the settings are applied and that WEI score changes (it won't if the OC is too little). You have to be patient. Once that done, then you can do a longer benchmark with like 3D mark.

You GPU should be fine at ~90C... 100C is the USUAL max for laptop, after that the GPU will shut-down or crash the drivers.

This is normal on laptops. This option is for desktop computers. This is the case because in most laptop the fan cools off other components than the GPU. So the BIOS controls that with it's temperature table (which cannot be edited). But don't worry about that, The fan should go at max speed automatically.

 

OK, thanks I give it a try...

 

Has anyone tried any newer Laptopvideo2go drivers?

 

The 185 drivers are still in beta. On my laptop (Dell Latitude E6400), I lose sound, and a system shutdown problem on my desktop. Therefor, I can't really test them.

 

Hi
I have tested cople of drivers now and the 185.20 is that one I get best results with !
I have now downloaded PhysX_9.09.0408_SystemSoftware and going to try it out.
