thx for the heads up, wonder if these are better than the 167.26 or 163.75

 

Nice, ooh interesting 169 series.

 

any one want a modded inf (8600M GT only) for these or wait for lv2g to come up with one

 

^ Yes please. BB we gotta play on steam together sometime. I've actually got free time today. I'm gonna uninstall the .26 drivers since they are more of a pain then they are worth. I'll give these a spin. TIme for class, see you guys later.

 

Alright il mod the inf for 8600M GT only, xp and vista 32 bit when and if i get the time

Yea we gotta play, but first I gotta buy orange box which will be after Nov 16 since I have exams till then.

Cant seem to focus on math today lol when exams on the 5th which will test 2 years of math

 

REMOVED LINKS TO INFS

THEY WERENT PROPERLY MODDED, ANY ONE WHO DOWNLOADED THEM DONT USE THEM !!

SORRY FOR THE TROUBLE

Don't have time now, will properly mod them later if Laptopvideo2go hasn't done so yet.

 

Still! No UK English driver .....

Make me wait

 

There isnt much diff between UK English and US English

 

They're up on laptopvideo2go, including the inf. I wonder if they overclock.

 

Ok..Finally I found way to download international driver

 

I can confirm these overclock on XP!

 

what is this driver all about!? i have a 8700m GT am i able to use it?

 

Yes you can. This driver is optimized for Crysis, so you'll get better framerates when playing that game.

 

yes..........

 

Any feedback?

 

will this driver affect performance on other games too ?

 

Yes, most likely in a good way.

 

hmmm.. just looking at laptopvideo2go and it says that the ForceWare X 163.75 driver got WHQL certified -- im using the 163.75 driver now, should i update to the certified ? (i know its just that ms approved it but im just curious) -- also, any word on this 169 beta driver performance?

 

Search Forum section

 

Whoah These Drivers Allow Overclocking!!!!

 

Overclocking on my 8600gt crashes 3DMark06...wtf mate!

 

WOW WOW WOW..........

:wink:

This driver is superb !

250+ 3DMark06 increase For me
SCDA/STALKER/BioShock Run Smoothly

163.75= 3876 @ 1280x800
169.01= 4160 @ 1280x800

 

169.75? ...

i just finished downloading crysis demo, gonna install the driver now and install the game. i will let u know on performance on my 8700m GT

 

Same here. I just got done and installing. I'll let you know performance on my 8600.

 

Crysis MP beta works well with this driver

BTW please add crysis demo FPS results with this driver(DX9 & DX10)

 

DX10 please!

 

Ok but mine is ddr2. I'll do stock for dx9 and dx10 than overclock.

 

Thanks I would do it myself but I only have DX9 at the moment. I'm really curious if with DX10 you can get the same performance as DX9 but with some exclusive DX10 features enabled.

 

you guys are using 169.01 correct?

 

That would be the logical choice right? I know I am!

 

Yes! Why?

It's the best driver i use so far

 

Sorry! correct the driver version

 

Im having issues- like when BF2 is running in 1024x768, my monitor has black on both sides of it (monitor usually runs 1280x800) before this driver, it sized the image up to the whole monitor. what gives?

 

Go back the the nVidia Control Panel and don't use mainstain aspect ratio. BF doesn't run in widescreen.

And guys. This driver isn't optimized for Crysis... It's OPTIMIZED. Period.

 

Just tried this driver and 163.76 and both gave me same performance in Crysis. However this driver also gave me BSODs in CoH everytime I try to play it. Looks like 163.76 is the way to go (for me).

 

Too Bad !

Is it clean installed?

You can try 167.26

 

Go into your nvidia control panel and turn on aspect scaling. Some drivers have it on by default others dont.

 

Bf2 and Bf2142 both run in widescreen I have done so personally. You must do so manually tho, not thru the games options.

When I say widescreen I say the right resolution, it cuts off some of your vertical fov tho.

 

This doesn't seem to want to install for me.

"The current drivers are not compatible with your current set up"

 

moded inf? if your card is not designed for the drivers you will have to use one.

 

on laptopvideo2go.com:
"Here is the nV driver for Crysis single player game demo.

This is a beta driver released to coincide with Crysis.
Numbering is a little odd now with 165, 167 and now 169, must show all sorts of things going on at nV.

Driver is only a few days old.

Come in these versions:

WinXP x86

Vista x86

Vista x64

nV's site only has links to English but I sneakily found the full international versions wink.gif"
I got an asus G1S with vista home premium 32 bit.
.... there isn't a 32 bit version???!!

 

Dont always just look at the main page.. Go to community forum and under 160 drivers section you will see all the drivers

heres the vista 32bit for 169.01

http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15707

 

Yeah. Personally, I've crashed whenever I've tried to run in widescreen. xD

 

Wow this driver is amazing!!
I got whopping jump 3dmark 06 score to 3355 from 320x on resolution 1280x1024 on windows XP pro sp2.
The game frame rate on the other hand doesn't see much difference but the ability to overclock is my winner !!!11
nVidia never cease to amaze me, 2 thumbs up baby.

 

XP 32-Bit LV2G driver is only 835KB and says its an invalid archive...

Anywhere else I can get this file?

 

yep, i posted on the thread about that problem

link to driver is some kb file and the modded inf is the x64 one not x86

 

The link is broken now? It was working ok yesterday when I downloaded the xp x86 driver and modded inf file off LV2G site.

Here's screen shot I took to support my claim.

3dmark 06 screenie


F.E.A.R retail 1.08 patch on 1680x1050 resolution everything max except FSAA and Soft Shadow turn off


Same setting but running on core 580 and memory 460


Again same setting but running on core 600 memory 500

 

Well, I can't get this thing to install... just get a BSOD when booting up Vista

 

I have been trying to unzip the files for the 169.01 drivers with no success. I have tried WinZip and 7-Zip and they both display the message "can not open file "C:/Users/Name/Desktop/16901_Vista64.exe" I have also searched this forum for similar problems and have found none. Can anyone help me please? Thank you
