169.13 released!

what res are you running 3dmark06... 12x10?

 

Can somone please let me know step by step on how to successfully install this new driver onto the 8600gs? Sorry to sound like such a noob but thats exactly what I'am!! lol.....I dont know to much about these kind of things as of now.

Oh and by the way I currently have the 163.75 version on mine, and was able to play Half-Life 2 lost coast at native res (1650x1050) with everything maxed out with hdr etc...flawlessly

but i just want to make sure i got the latest upgrade

 

You need to download the drivers and the modded .inf from laptopvideo2go.com first. Then extract the drivers in a temporary folder and copy the modded .inf file into the extracted folder overwriting the original one.

Uninstall the old drivers from Add/Remove programs through the Control Panel. Once the computer reboots, you can then run setup.exe and start the install.

 

I'm able to run everything on HL2 to the absolute max and i ran doom 3 at ultra high with 6x aliasing smoothly. So i get Far Cry and im experiencing the same exact blue fog another user with the 8600gs is experiencing! I'm able to run it with everything very high and went up to 1450x1280 or something like that and it runs absolutley perfect except for the damn fog. no lags or anything, just that damn fog....the game looks really good when i get close to objects but i cant see far because of the fog..it almost looks like a big glitch

whats going on? is this due to the lower driver version? how do i get rid of this? and what exact driver would you recommend i need to install so i can get rid of the problem?

 

again sorry for all the questions but right now i feel like a lost american in a foreign country....lol I dont know what is what right now.
