T61p Crysis Drivers -Quadro 570m 256MB

Hey everyone...as you all know Crysis is around the corner or even actually here early for some of us...*cough cough.

But anyways, I am looking for a good performing driver to increase performance on this game similarly to how there was one for Bioshock on laptopvideo2go.com website. Is there a similar performance enhancing modded driver for Crysis on, for instance, laptopvideo2go.com website or any other place?

SYSTEM SPECS:
VISTA ULTIMATE 32BIT
T7500 2.2 ghz
2gb RAM
256MB GDDR3 Quadro 570M
15inch WUXGA
Wireless USB
WIFI AGN

I can play some settings on VERY HIGH mode but not all of course....while some have to be dumbed down to high or medium mode. Resolution at 1024x768 i think...or whatever widescreen one that's good for my 15inch WUXGA display.


Please post links to drivers so that it can help out everyone here. Thnx in advance!

They are version 169.04, I still couldnt play Crysis very well with them but they are the recommended drivers for Crysis

 

Thats the driver I use. I don't have crysis yet but all the other games I tested on it work pretty well

 

I currently have the Bioshock drivers installed 163.44. So should I uninstall the current driver and then install 169.04 driver or install the new driver over the current one without uninstalling current driver?

The thing is when I installed 163.44 (Bioshock), I was told to install it directly over stock video driver in order to retain the ability to adjust the display brightness setting levels.

So...should I just install 169.04 over the current one or uninstall current one and then install 169.04??

Plus, are there any bugs or problems with 169.04? Like losing ability to change the brightness setting?

 

Also, the laptopvideo2go website says that 169.04 lacks powermizer (no clue what that is) and is calibrated for game play on Crysis Single Player DEMO. However, I want a good driver to play the ACTUAL GAME itself...not the demo...if that makes any difference.

 

what graphics settings does everyone have the game at?

 

I did a clean install of the 169.04 (uninstall, driversweep, then new driver install) and it retains brightness control. It's much better than 163.44 and allows you to play crysis.

 

I also have this weird issue right now where DXDIAG doesn't display anyting....doesn't display processor name, speed, settings, bios, or graphics card...yet I am able to see it with other applications and everything works find. It is just that dxdiag doesn't display anything...IT'S BLANK wtf??

 

sounds very nice! what are your framerates, and more detailed settings? Seems like it would be playable on the slower 128 mb version of the 570M as well then.

 

well...the thing is you might be able to play it but you would have to lower the settings more because you lack enough memory to support all of those settings, even though your gpu clock core is the same. Crysis eats video memory up like crazy especially with high settings.

 

Does anyone know if the latest driver on laptopvideo2go.com 169.09 will be the best performing driver for Crysis?? Moreso than the 169.04 driver? (cuz those did say they are good for Crysis DEMO) But now that the real Crysis game is out..I'm just wondering. Cuz I think I will be getting 169.09 instead of other versions.

 

I've just started playing the demo today and I find the 169.04 drivers crash every time after about an hour, or maybe 45 mins.

According to bluenews.com:

And apparently the .09 release has increased performance dramatically over earlier drivers from a few weeks ago (8-10 fps according to some users). I'm going to try that next.

 

Reading a bit more about 169.04 and it seems lot of people are experiencing problems too. I might wait until the next release before updating again. In the mean time, I'm definitely going to buy the retail version.

 

Bought the retail version today, installed 169.09 and it performs pretty well. Very playable, stutters a little in some cutscenes. Works best in DirectX 9 and you'd hardly notice the difference from DirectX 10.

 

For those using the Lenovo shipped driver - is the game playable?

I've just installed Crysis, it's too jerky to be playable. I'm running the drivers as shipped from lenovo, has anyone had it working with these drivers?

Or is everyone using modded drivers?
