Vista Forceware 97.27 out


Recommended Posts

Careful, you'll get mauled by the people on this forum who think it's perfectly acceptable to wait until release day to have any driver at all out.

lol, I fully expect nVidia to come out with the G90 on Jan 30 and declare the G80 to be "legacy hardware" and that Vista driver "support" for the G80 ended on Jan 29.

witht he 64 bit inf this driver works great, faster than the old "official" driver I used on RC2, and I'm not sure if it's the rienstall or the driver but the problem I had in EQ2 after the latest update where the graphics woudl Freeze doesn't seem to occur anymore.

I'm happy :)

I don't know what everyone on here is complaining about 1440x 900. I have a inspiron 9300 with a 6800 go and these drivers work fine in 1440 x 900 for me. Also just to give u guys a heads up laptopvideo2go has their inf out if any of you need it.

It works for you cause its a laptop.

With DVI cable and LCD it doesnt work yet. With standard VGA it does... but that sucks :/

I can't even get them to install...replaced with modified INF (I had to add both inf files posted here nvbl and lh_nv to even get it to recognise my hardware)...says drivers are not compatible with Vista...WTF???

Ive tried both EXE (which doesnt install them either) and browsing, thats when i get the error...

I have a laptop with 7900 GTX Go....

I got lucky after modifying all inf files + modes.txt in the driver package. Open them up in notepad, and do a search and replace. Just replace one you never use, with the one you like. In my case, i replaced 1600x1200 with 1680x1050. I did this in all inf/ini files (i think there were 3 files). I don't think you need to do it in modes.txt, but it won't hurt.

After installing and restarting i finally got 1680x1050! But after the next restart it was suddenly gone again! :wacko: It was appearantly replaced with 1600x1000 - which is really odd. But i solved that by installing the driver for my monitor, so now i'm back in business again, and have been for some days :D

PS: Only installing the driver won't work. You need to modify the driver files first as well.

Since everyone stated that the problem with the 1440x900 Resolution was related to using a DVI cable vs. an Analog VGA cable, i decided to switch and use the VGA cable provided with the monitor. Now I can use 96.85 and use 1440x900. However I am not able to use 97.19 (or is it 97.18?) nor 97.27 with this resolution even though I'm using a VGA Cable. is there any way to modify the drivers so I can use them with 1440x900.

Plus everyone who says just install your monitor driver, some companys don't provide them. I have a westinghouse and they have no drivers for their monitors as windows provides it.

Just for all of you that think 1440x900 does not work... it does but you need to deselect the "Hide modes this monitor can't display from the advanced button in the classic XP control panel... it's in vista too.

crap it dosent support ! 1440x900 !

but are there someone there know how long nvidia has come with a final driver for Vista ?

Just for all of you that think 1440x900 does not work... it does but you need to deselect the "Hide modes this monitor can't display from the advanced button in the classic XP control panel... it's in vista too.

This doesn't work.... tried it before.

First post here.

no 1440x900. No matters what. recent drivers dont enable that res. i tried several monitor drivers and no go. But what really bother me is that I do have 1440x900 using the old 96.33. So, what is the big diference betwen 96.33 and later drivers 97.27? 96.33 has a really bad performance for me, even at desktop, and going to fullscreen gives me BSOD. One other hand 97.27 has a really nice performance, has some control panel, but no 1440x900.

Im not into drivers writing thing, so maybe someone may take a look into this discrepancy.

Well felows thats it. Im still waiting and searching the net for a driver that enable 1440x900, have some control panel. Cmon i just bought this fancy, and very expensive (im at brazil) widescreen monitor (check my sig).

Thanks in advance

Sorry my bad english.

@guys compaining about 1440x900:

Did you try what i wrote in the post righ above here?

As mentioned, i had no 1680x1050 (VGA) what so ever in Vista before, but i found the solution for the problem. Don't see any reason why it shouldn't work for 1440x900.

And you could always use Powerstrip to fix it, although i don't like that solution too well.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
