Timeshift Game

Was supposed to be released ages ago but Sierra took over and gave it a complete overhaul.

 

hmmm...mobility drivers yesterday, now these...nvidia is def. trying to please us! lol

p.s. if someone gets a hold of these, please post ur in-game experience. thank you.

 

They are LIVE now, going to try them out now.



edit: link to modded inf is not working

 

LV2GO.com still working on modded inf

 

Timeshift guy looks lame.

 

looks like some deformed hybrid of alien and spiderman

anyway will mod the inf myself and test these out, should take about 20-30 min or so (not for the inf but testing em out)

 

Thanks black b.
Rep for you.
Forgot to rep you for the .71 inf too.
Edit:nvm won't let me rep you before i spread it out more. sry

modded inf for 163.75, download the drivers from here
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winvista_x86_163.75.html

modded only for 8600M GT, the one in my sig

 

K I'll wait till the reponses come in. Great work as usual bb.

 

Overclockable?

 

Wow! I played the demo for this game over a year ago. Apparently you can still download it too, but it says "WARNING: The demo no longer being representative to the final TimeShift game - it comes from an old build."

Should make for an interesting comparison to the final version, if you're interested.

OLD TimeShift Demo @ GamersHell

EDIT: Anyone have a link to the NEW TimeShift Demo?

 

anyone having luck with a 7900gs?

 

I have noticed performance improvements

Havent tested many games due to lack of time but

World in Conflict Demo now gets 16-20 during heavy explosions and exploded building particles flying everywhere, 20-30 fps in action, 30-40 fps when not so much is happening on screen. This is great since before I stayed around the 13-25 mark.

Some screens for the interested (fps on top left corner)

I also used a few tweaks I found thanks to SymphonyX, Odin, Ochimaru (sorry if spelt the last two wrong).

They are

Use rivatuner to set vsync to always on and prerender limit to 1
Use rivatuner to enable clamp negative minmap LOD bios, anistropic mip filter optimization, anistropic sample optimization, trilinear optimization
Use D3D overrider (once you install rivatuner you also install this) to force triple buffering
Set Vsync to off in in-game settings

 

hey, bb, did u modify the original inf that cam with it, or u just put the previous one by l2g? thanx for the good work, man

 

modified the original, look at my post before yours about the inf , it mentions these drivers performance

 

thank you blackbird for your comment on new driver performance. I probably gonna give it a try and see how it works for me later.. nVidia is working too hard these days lol

 

No probs

I also used a few tweaks I found thanks to SymphonyX, Odin, Ochimaru (sorry if spelt the last two wrong).

I reckon you should all give these a go and keep em unless they cause problems, interference or reduce your fps. For me all they did was improve

They are

Use rivatuner to set vsync to always on and prerender limit to 1
Use rivatuner to enable clamp negative minmap LOD bios, anistropic mip filter optimization, anistropic sample optimization, trilinear optimization
Use D3D overrider (once you install rivatuner you also install this) to force triple buffering (have to right click tray icon , select setup, add a profile, point to your game exe file)
Set Vsync to off in in-game settings

 

Yeah this is mainly an orange box driver I believe. I'll report back with fps improvements.

 

just tried this new driver and here's my 2cents
FEAR and Guild War don't see any fps improvement over 163.71 and 3dmark 06 still remain the same. No compatibility issue for me so far, I'll keep this driver around seeing it does no harm to me
I believe this driver is to direct some new games compatibility problem or DX10 improvement?

 

Its an orange box driver mainly and some compatibility fixes. Hope it fixes some of the gltiches i was having with team fortress 2. Just installed. Thanks again for the modded inf blackbird.

 

can anyone tell me what a nvidia SLI profile is?

 

These drivers are great. Gave me 5-10 fps boost in TF2. Also I don't know if it was this drivers or the newest patch by valve or both but all my glitch problems are gone from the game. Huzzah!

 

IT's for SLi card owners(Dual VGA)

Profile contain info about how to work game on dual card setup

 

Aww man I was so happy with my 163.44's good performance no problems, but because of your post now I have to change them :/

 

I think he looks like a colour blind Power Ranger

 

Does that mean that SLI WONT work if there is no SLI profile for that particular game?

 

Ah well then you should notice a good jump. THe 163.71 brought a small from 163.44jump too so you'll notice a decent jump from the combo. Overall using fraps the game is about 6 fps better.

 

I just discovered the funniest trailer ever released.

The main character, when even he used his power, he started running all funny up to the enermy, looking all silly, takes their gun or stick a grenade back at the tank, and then walks away like nothing happened. ... IMO, the trailer made the game looked worse than I imagined.

 

guys, i'm a little confused, l2g has a .75 version for xp, but guru3d here http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1750 - that's .76 for xp?!
which one is the right one? nvidia also has the beta .75 on its site...

 

there is a .76 comming for xp, but for vista only .75

 

but nvidia has .75 for xp on their site...that doesn't make sense

 

guru3d has acces to beta drivers and can have them sooner than the offical page, its normal.

 

Seems like the modded .inf is released. Check them out at laptopvideo2go website.

 

Just thought I'd let people know if they were having issues (locking up, crashing, etc.) with Team Fortress 2 that these drivers (163.69 and onwards) has fixed them.

 

Got 'em installed - work just fine. No noticeable improvement in TF2, but no problems either.

Edit:

It's like a modern FPS version of Blinx: The Time Sweeper.

 

Joga, which ones did u install?! i got .75's from laptopvideo2go, but guru3d already has .76's for xp?!

 

I installed the .75's for 32-bit Vista from LV2G.

 

Drivers are great for me so far too,

lol I completely forgot about powerrangers...they had so many of em back then. I guess he looks like a timeforce powerranger with one huge ass eye
