Joni_78 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'm using Dual view, second display is TV @ 720x576. Second display picture quality is really bad with these drivers, had to roll back to 96.xx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Please don't install this driver on laptops. The driver will cause heat issues. Nvidia will release a updated driver end of next month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denis W. Veteran Posted November 19, 2006 Veteran Share Posted November 19, 2006 will the drivers support opengl so i can play Prey? A workaround is to install ForceWare 96.85, then go into Device Manager, right click your video card, select Update Driver, and select these drivers. Expect an updated OpenGL driver when nVidia officially releases these drivers, or a newer set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PsyOpWarlord Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Please don't install this driver on laptops. The driver will cause heat issues.

Schwa83 Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Can anyone run these in 1440x900? Can't see to use that resolution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:: Lyon :: Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) end of next month?? Can't wait that long :D Btw, does this work on Vista RC2? Edited November 19, 2006 by :: Lyon :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ydoucare Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 i just tried that and it didnt add any extra resolutions for me and my monitor does support upto 1440 x 900 its a Hanns-G 19" Widescreen Same monitor here, same problem, on a GF 6800 (vanilla) AGP Didn't have this issue with RC1 so I assume this is just a driver issue that will be fixed sometime within the near future. Tried adding a custom resolution with PowerStrip and no go there as well. Just have to wait it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazket Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Need For Speed : Carbon crashes when trying to start a game with these drivers :( It seams to run a lot smoother in the menu's tho. Try again running it under Windos 98 / ME or Windows 95 compatibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanVP Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 These drivers stink! I can't play any games on Vista RTM with these drivers. I keep getting this nvidia_mini bsod every game I try to play. How did you guys get it to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:: Lyon :: Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hm weird I was doing a driver update through the device manager.. an error occured for run32.dll but looks like it's completed. Provider: NVIDIA Driver Data: 21/08/2006 Driver Version: 7.14.10.9719 ?? kinda funny here But CS:Source runs like mad.. I got a 125 fps?? Before was like 25 fps and drawing errors everywhere / flickers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linky Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 These drivers solved quite a few graphical glitches in CS:S, and Quake 4. However, Need for Speed Most Wanted is very slow and my framerate is about 15fps. In XP, it was 60fps on my 7800GT. Is this nVidia's RTM driver? There isn't any control panel, and it seems to be only a barebones, really. I'm waiting on Forceware for Vista :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmunky Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 The reason why some people can run 1440x900 is cause i expect they have there monitor connected via the VGA port and not the DVI, this has been a problem with nvidia for awhile now. Anyone want to conferm that if they have 1440x900 working its via the VGA cable and not the DVI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that is my own experience, and that of others around here. Only problem for me is that my current nVidia card does not have VGA, it's only got dual DVI.

Slugsie Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 These seem fairly good for me. Improve Aero speed quite nicely and I can now watch DVD's ok - before performance was so poor on DVD playback it wasn't even worth trying! Just need to sort audio out now and get proper DirectX NForce2 soundstorm drivers :| I read somewhere that nVidia are dropping support for nForce2 and Vista. So the only drivers you'll get are the ones currently available on the DVD. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Depression Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Awww, that driver is not working for my Vista RTM OS -Geforce 7900 GTX card. I still see the same problems as I would of never upgrade that driver. Problems with 2142: some way Off frames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
