New Nvidia 195.39 beta drivers for notebooks

Check out the latest notebook drivers from Nvidia.

Still in beta, but good to go.

Here are the links for Windows 7 & Vista:

Interesting! I'll give 'em a shot when I get home, see if there's any massive performance gains on my lightning fast 8400M GS.

If I can't play Crysis @ 1920 on super high settings, I shall blame you, and you alone, Blacky.

 

I shall take full responsibility for the consequences of my actions.

 

finally, a new 190 driver to replace the really outdated 180 series. errr... where's GTX285M and GT300M?

 

Slightly improved my Vantage score. I will wait for the WHQL release to update my sign.

 

Iin your sig for the vantage scores - are using the desktop driver rather than the mobile one? It looks like you are using 191.07?

I've been using 186.81 mobile version so stupid question but there's no difference in the desktop and mobile versions?

 

It depends, I try to stick to the mobile versions generally, but after 3 months of Nvidia not releasing anything for notebooks, I've decided to give the desktop ones a try.

 

Unfortunately this driver causes my system to crash into a dxgkrnl.sys BSOD on start. Had to boot into safe mode, remove the driver and reinstall the previous one.

 

i installed the new beta driver on my m570tu and wanted to run 3d mark vantage.

but 3d mark vantage stopped working since i installed the new driver

maybe vantage only works with whql drivers?

greetings flode

 

Works fine for me. I really like the drivers until now.

 

i tried reinstalling vantage still the same problem i realy think it has something to do with the new driver because before i installed it vantage worked

 

Yeah Vantage crashes on me with these drivers as well. But considering they work really well in-game, i wont worry about synthetic benchmarks.

 

Stop giving a crap about 3dmark. That's not how you test a driver's performance.

I've been playing Borderlands and Torchlight all day and night, with no issues.

 

I haven't completed my testing with it but a few of the 200 bug fixes mention in the notes on the download page seem to have been World of warcraft bugs. I have noticed that with the new beta drivers i can kick my graphics back up to max(at native resolution) and play smoothly even with full shadows. Before I had to kick things down to medium for some reason to maintain smooth frame rates (at native resolution). I have not had any problems so far out of the drivers.

 

Hello there, I'm having issues with this driver, I got a BSOD after installing this drivers. I'm installing the windows7 64 version and my GPU is the 8800m GTX, if somebody know how to solve this issue I will be glad to know, cause I'm hearing lots of goods things about this new ones.

Click on the link appropriate for your operating system and than chose modified info from the menu on top.

 

you need to remove that 't' from 'revis ted' for the link to work.

so remind me how to do this again? i download the driver from the nvidia site and the inf from laptopvideo2go, and then what? do i need to download the physx driver as well?

 

My link works fine.
Ok, what you do is you unpack the newly downloaded driver in a any folder of choice. Copy over it the modded inf. And than run setup.

 

Thanks for the tip guys, but I tried with the modded file and I'm still getting the BSOD, it's a quit weird issue but I readed that other people is getting the same problem as well.

 

Just wait for the official WHQL release, these are still beta drivers so some bugs are to be expected.

 

Tried it...full of bugs. Got several BSODs...

 

I went back to 186.81, because games kept running when I alt-tabbed.

 

It brings noticeable changes, but suffers from glitches. Specifically, with 186.61 HDTV resizing didnot create a new resolution altogether like this driver does. Consequently, I can't use my TV's native 1080p resolution. Back to 186.61...

 

They are still in beta...

 

Well, I dislike that I can't create custom resolutions, but my lag/latency issues are gone and I'm afraid that changing will bring them back. I'll deal for now.

 

For the people experiencing BSODS - make sure you use driver sweeper in safe mode before you install the new driver. The last time i had that problem, i solved it that way.

Trying out the new drivers now

 

ok, as always i hate the stupid Nvidia installer.

did a driver sweep, installed the new driver. And you know what?

ITS STUPID FAST. honestly the FPS in crysis warhead were so high I had to double check that everything was on enthusiast with vsync on and 16xQ AA.
Reverting back to my usual play settings (enthusiast+4xAA) felt like my laptop wasn't even trying.

To make sure I tried FEAR 2 and Prototype as well. completely blew my mind.

 

I haven't had a single BSOD, so I don't know what others problem is. I didn't even uninstall the previous driver first.

 

I don't know why it affects only certain machines. Before I figured out the problem (crap invidia installer creating multiple copies) and installed driver sweeper I did exactly what you did and my notebook would crash quite often.

 

Same here. Just double clicked the installer. Didn't even have to reboot the PC (god bless windows 7) and gratis performance boost in borderlands!

 

You should reboot anyway. Windows 7 is still Windows, and Windows loves a reboot after new drivers are installed.

 

Will be doing a clean install when my 8690 comes in since I ordered it with no hard drive. Will post my findings as soon as I can.

 

I usually do the whole Driver Sweeper bit, but truth be told, it doesn't make a difference to me, and I'm tired of the tedious repetition for a simple driver install.

 

It's probably Windows 7. Because pre-windows 7 the computer used ask me to reboot but in windows 7 the changes are updated one time.

 

Yeah real lifes been kicking my butt lately, but ive been trying to get around to tinkering. for those who couldnt set a custom resolution i had the same problem, but for some reason when i backed out of the custom res screen even tho it said it wasnt supported it was in the listing.
