anyone had sucess with 179.48 on the 1651?

i have tried everything i can think of. 179.28 and .48 just will not work right on this thing. anyone had luck with them?

if not what drivers are you using?

 

i remember seeing some where that you need to remove certain parts of the driver or something, because it installs the wrong one or something weird like that... What exactally happens with those drivers any way?

 

i dont know. i cant figure it out no matter what i do it does not work right.

 

i mean, like it won't install, it does not give correct resolutions, it gives poor fps

 

it will install and works the first time. if you restart it it defaults to the lowest res and only 16bit color. there is no option for anything else.

 

Have you tried the modded drivers from laptopvideo2go?

Also I recieved the 9 cell bat. that you recommended today. Fits nicely.
Havent started it up yet but i bet it will work.

 

yes tried both the nvidia ones and the laptop2go ones. neither works for me, battery will work great!!

 

hmm, do any other older ones work, or the 18x.xx work?

 

so far the best one is the one from msi web site has no issues at all but is not the best for gaming

 

thats weird...
well, maybe your specific one computer is weird?
idk, maybe check when you get the new ones if they have the same problem, but i remember seeing a thread like this a few weeks ago... ill try to find it

 

nope tried on three of them i already have

 

It's a known issue, but MSI doesn't seem to want to do anything about it.

Only solution is to run your laptop off AC. (plug your laptop in to AC before you turn it on, and you should get the option for 32-bit colour mode at full resoluton when using the newer drivers.)

 

thank you ^^ that is the most concrete answer someone has given me on this topic. rep for you.

 

Do you use the Intel INF Chipset drivers from Intel? If it's a power saving thing I wonder if those can help fix it. I don't have your laptop, just throwing something out there to try and see if it helps.

 

I just updated to the newest nvidia drivers and i got the same issue as you do zfactor. Only can access 16 bit. I rolled back to the old drivers for now.

 

While I have a MS-1722, my input may help. I've had a ton of strange issues with drivers, but lately I've ironed them out. I currently have 182.08 with modded inf from laptopvideo2go. 182.06 also worked great, but temps were 5-6 C higher. I'd try Dox's optimized drivers over at laptopvideo2go also if you don't want to mess with modded infs. Sleep/hibernate works, no issues with color depth on AC nor battery, and I can even leave powermizer turned on and the GPU clocks go up perfectly in games. Played FEAR 2 last night for a few hours, powermizer on, and framerate was silky smooth. GPU is overclocked to boot, and max temps (monitored with GPU-Z) were 80-81 C.

I've stayed away from the 179 drivers and the older 176 MSI driver since they are slow and outdated. 182.08 is worth a shot.

When updating the video driver, be sure to remove the driver in add/remove programs, reboot, run DriverCleaner pro free version (select nvidia filter), then install new driver. This always works for me in that specific order.

181.22 and 185.20 were buggy for me, I can't recommend them. 182.08 came out 1-2 days ago and works great.

 

Just a heads up, the new firmware 1.0S fixes this issue. (thanks reynart for the heads up)
