Driver for 8800m That Goes to FUll Speed

Hi guys! I noticed today that my clocks during gaming seem to be stuck in 3d low power mode (using 177.66) I rolled back to 175.80 (with driver cleaner and all), but it is still stuck in low power. I tried the beta drivers of the alienware website...still stuck. 175.63 is stuck as well . What version works for you guys? or do I have to go to the dreaded 165.35 on their site (using XP pro).

 

i have the same issue and also using XP pro. im stuck with the stock driver 1st release from alienware

 

Damn...anyone else? The registry hack doesn't work either (where you disable powermiser )

 

did you use driver sweeper after you uninstalled the driver to make sure everything is completely gone

uninstall your driver, then use driver sweeper to clean up anything that is left over and then reinstall the driver. remember to restart after you uninstall the driver and then restart again after you use driver sweeper.

 

so, do the 175.80 drivers work well for you? I didn't restart after running driver sweeper..so I guess I'll try 175.80 again, thanks!

 

yes the 175.80 drivers work very well for me.

 

AARRGH 175.80 won't go to full speed Forget it Im going back to 165

 

follow stone's sli guide to how to install drivers properly. thats what i do when i want to change or update the drivers.

Stone's guide is right here

exiled are you using windows XP or vista? from what i have read this happens to all m15x windows XP users that try to use something other then the Alienware 165 release drivers

 

i am using vista. there is a 175.80 for xp and there is a 175.80 for vista.

 

i know that exlied..... im just stating the issue with the new 175.80 drivers and any other drivers other then the 165's with the m15x is only with XP
