NVIDIA GeForce 186.03 WHQL Driver for Notebooks Released

lol

Ok now when I'm installing the new drivers. Do i boot in safe mode? and I heard also I have to disable my avira?

 

No, boot in normal bmode and yes disable avira maybe it gives "alert" becouse the setup want to enter system files. I use Kaspersky and dosn't disable it when I update drivers...

 

thank you very much for helping me
the new drivers are installed

Rep+

 

No problem
Always!
Thanks for +REP btw

 

WOW I can't even explain how much better my games run from going from the stock drivers to the 186.03

I'm playing ut3 at 1680x1050 MAX GRAPHIX
and I have NO screen lag or tearing like I did when I was on the stock drivers

YES

 

I'm happy I could help you out

 

Damn, no XP version of these? I'm still sitting at 181.22.

 

No more XP, focus on Vista And Windows Seven...
Even DOX don't give out drivers to XP any longer...

 

Hmmm, will I see any performance boost moving to Win 7?

 

I have tryed that, but it is still beta. I don't know which type of games you play but I will stay at Vista untill the final version of SeveN is ready.

Example:

Why not Vista SP2 ?
What is your specs.?

 

True, with the services packs it works great, and most modern computer (esp those used for gaming) have no trouble running vista

However, if you are still on XP I would recommend you wait and get seven as it is newer and looks to be better overall than vista

 

Late 2008 Macbook Pro. 2.4GHz 256MB 9600M GT, 2GB RAM

edit: Yeah, totally not going to Vista. Use it at work. Just not a fan.

 

Like RaYYaN said; Wait untill seven is finished and upgrade or give Vista a try (you can use it 30 days before you need License). But don't buy Vista now, too late
Wait and buy if you want a new os...
Do you have Vista License?
You will handle Vista 32-bit well btw...

 

If I were you I would keep xp until final version of vista 7 comes out..

I have vist sp2 64bit and I like it a lot but xp is MUCH lighter on RAM, hopefully w7 doesn't use as much ram..

 

Yes, but also you have paid for it it is good that your OS use ram and prepare for some action

 

yea lol
much more effects in vista then in xp

 

haha, yes that what I was wanted to say lol

 

i dunno why i waited so long to finally try these drivers out. i had some initial problems with the first install, so i reinstalled the driver a 2nd time. the results are fantastic!!! i was comin from the 185.xx drivers and the 186.03 has nearly doubled my TF2 FPS!!! the 185.xx drivers were givin me random stutters and crashes once in a while. 186.03 has seem to fix it and made it a little smoother. GPU usually hits 77c after a few hours of TF2. after 186.03 i've only seen a GPU high of 75c.

i don't really have any other games, besides CS 1.6, to test these drivers out. but just by goin by my TF2 improvements, this driver is great!

 

I can't get Vista SP2 yet because I'm in Denmark, and they haven't got it translated to danish O_O.

When I use driver sweeper to delete the remaining files in safe mode and it's done, shall I then install the new driver in safe mode too?

 

No, the drivers should be installed in "normal mode"
Also, not far away from me
I use RTM version of SP2 becouse like you said; final dosn't have my language yet!

 

Thanks, but when I uinstall the NVIDIA drivers, Windows reinstall it again immediately O_O? How can I stop that?

Btw. it goes back to stock drivers (179.24)

 

If you use driver sweeper correctly, it should detect your graphics card as a "Standard VGA device" and not an Nvidia device.

 

Nope, RIGHT after I uinstall the NVIDIA drivers, it installed itself again. And then there is no idea to run driversweeper if the whole driver still is installed.

 

Yep! Same problems with you when I tried to install DOX's.
After all, this is not related to Driver Sweeper.
Because our computer have build-in OEM(PQservice).
The computer would auto install your Nvidia Driver automatically(right after you restart).
To avoid this happen and make it install VGA driver instead of Nvidia driver automatically.
F2 during boot-up(acer logo shown), get into the BIOS.
Disable D2D recovery.
I think this would make the PQservice to halt.

 

I did it much easier.

I went to device mananager and clicked on my 9300m GS and then "Delete Driver". I got error messages, I don't know why, but it got it deleted.

Then I booted in safe mode and used driver sweeper: Here is my log: Deleted file (C:\Windows\prefetch\NVCPLSETUPINT.EXE-B4BBC1C5.pf)
Deleted file (C:\Windows\prefetch\NVCPLUI.EXE-AB2777E5.pf)

Not deleted file (C:\Windows\System32\nvmctray.dll)

Then I installed the new driver and woula! It works!

Is it done correctly?

 

That should be correct. I don't think DriverSweeper does someting wrong

 

ok, good And thanks for your help.

 

anyone try these yet on the msi 1651 / gx620?? the last ones 185.xx did not work and im hoping these will. i have not had a chance to try them yet and i was hoping maybe someone else did by now..

 

No problem, always!

 

Driver gave me same performance as dox's 185.68 on the Street Fighter IV benchmark, but this one crashed when I turned on AA (known bug) whilst Dox's did not
Interesting.....

These do seem to run a few degrees cooler that Dox's 185.68, which is always good
Now to try these with some other games

 

Hmm.. After installing these drivers a couple of days ago, i've twice experienced that while playing a game (happened to CSS and COD1, yes the first) the screen suddenly blacks out and sound is looping in the background.. At first it thought it was my overclock so i clocked down quite a bucnh (not back to default) but now it happened again. Now i've removed the overclock completely, but it didnt happen with older driveres o_0...

Also, COD4 runs like e on my pc, also with these drivers.. even with low details my fps is often like 50 or something... Is that normal with a P8400 2,26 GHz and 9600M ??

 

186.18 WHQL and 190.15 are out. Rack 'em, pack 'em, and stack 'em.

 

Why I can't see forceware 190.15 in nvidia official website?
Issit official or ?

 

its not official,
A little somebody gave it to us (laptopvideo2go)

 

Are D0X versions of these out, or will you not make them???
Also which ones are better for games??/

Cheers

 

Forceware 186.18 is for Windows7 (Well, they work with Vista I think)

Forceware 190.15 is out

You can alwas use modded .inf through...

 

What is modded.inf?
I already installed Forceware 190.15 into my laptop.
I found a good thing that is we can set our own resolution personally for desktop display.

 

Modded .inf allows you to install a driver wich is mainly not made for your grapich card. nVidia setup checks your card when you try to install a driver if it is not compeltable you get error like "unable to find device ect". With a modded .inf you can bypass that.
If you didn't understand what I mean take a look here;

Peace Out

 

Wouldnt there be a good reason if NVidia decided to not allow that particular install?

 

I didn't say anything about that! I only explained how a modded .inf works! Don't start that huge dischssion please...

 

I got that, I am just wondering

 

, I'm quite not sure, but there must be a reason. (I think)
Quadro based cards is for grapichal use so the new drivers wich is found at dell is not optimized to gaming I think. But this is my view don't know what other users think...

PEACE

 

So, the 190.15 forceware is basically to improve workstation thingy?
It was great as well because I am digital animation student.

Personally, I think 190.15 was for nvidia Quadro series(workstation type graphic card to enhance the workstation abilities, CG[Computer Generate]) but now is modded to any Nvidia drivers which may improve the workstation abilities of other Nvidia Drivers.

 

Yea I guess the Quadro drivers is costumized for grapichal work.
So, It will be good for you then

 

I heard somewhere that Nvidia was going to stop having separate Quadro/GeForce drivers and just have one package.

 

But I think they still can make a modded .inf to show your card as Quadro
But nVidia has too many beta drivers around!

 

Just benched 186.03 compared to 185.85 and the two 179 series drivers Nvidia released - these are better than all three in 3DMark05 and 3DMark06, and only a little behind 185.85 in the Devil May Cry 4 bench.

 

I also got low 3DMark06 points with 186.03, But better real world performance so I will stay with those

 

Did you mean you got low 3DMark06 using 186.06 but in REAL GAMING it works better than 185.85/versions before 186.06?

Personally, I think 190.15 is the best even it is BETA(leaked) now.
Hope the Official version would release soon.

 

Yes, I get low 3DMark06 with 186.03. I have not tested 190.15, but isin't those mainly for Quadro ? Well, you can always use modded .inf through
