k22 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Open Issues in Version 53.03 As with every released driver, version 53.03 of the Release 50 driver has open issues and enhancement requests associated with it. What follows is a list of issues that are either not fixed or not implemented in this version. Some problems listed may not have been thoroughly investigated and, in fact, may not be NVIDIA issues. Others will have workaround solutions, as is the case with most of the issues in this section. ? Clone mode may be set for the GeForce FX 5600 although only one display is connected. This setting causes a drop in the performance of 3D applications. The workaround is to use the NVIDIA control panel to reset the system to standard mode from clone mode. ? GeForce FX 5950 Ultra: Homeworld2 antialiased performance is slow. This is not an NVIDIA bug, but is a known issue with the application. NVIDIA is working with the developer to address it. ? Windows XP: Antialiasing doesn't appear to be working in Final Fantasy XI benchmark. This is a known issue with the application. NVIDIA is working with the developer to address it. ? All GeForce FX: Intermittently, Warcraft III videos are not displayed properly on some systems. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release. ? GeForce FX 5950 Ultra, Windows XP: nView Setup Wizard lacks 16-bit color choice. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release. ? Quadro NVS, Windows XP: After turning off Span-over-Span, the display properties panel stops responding when selecting the Quadro NVS page. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release. ? Quadro NVS, Windows XP: Flight.exe OpenGL has stripes of bad rendering on dual Quadro NVS cards. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release. ? Quadro NVS 280 AGP + Quadro NVS 280 PCI, Windows 2000: Driver does not install with SETUP.EXE. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release. ? Black horizontal lines on Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release. ? Quadro NVS, Windows XP: Driver causes blue-screen crash. A fix for this issue will be included in the next driver release. Issues Resolved in Version 53.03 Significant issues resolved in driver version 53.03 are listed below: ? nView, Multiview: Single-monitor maximize feature does not account for docked toolbars. ? GeForceFX 5950 Ultra, WindowsXP: Degraded anisotropic filtering quality in Unreal Tournament 2003. ? GeForceFX 5900/5950: TV-Out flicker control is not functioning on UK PAL. ? International release of 52.16 has corrupt nvtuXXX.cpl file. ? GeForceFX 5900/5950, GeForceFX 5900/5950 Ultra, WindowsXP: During certain times of day in Final Fantasy XI Online Worlds, textures turn gray. ? Adobe After Effects crashes with 52.16. ? Large resolutions can't be chosen in nView Setup Wizard. ? All GeForceFX, Unreal Tournament 2003: Some textures are not being filtered properly. ? GeForceFX Go5700/5750, Windows 2000: Fn+F8 hot-key sequence does not work. ? Overlap/Edgeblend: Changing values for luma does not make Apply button available. ? Individual application setting to launch application on different desktop does not work when invoked by hot key. ? Quadro4 900/750/700 XGL, Knights of the Old Republic: Fog in title screen is rainbow colored. ? GT4 crashes if stereo enabled. ? Quadro FX Go700, Windows XP: Studio Tools overlay tool is truncated. ? GeForce4 MX 440 and GeForce4 Ti 4400, Windows XP: Blue-screen crash during Battlefield 1942 Desert Combat. ? GeForceFX Go5100/5200, Windows XP: Green noise appears when secondary device zoomed in Video Mirror. ? Windows XP: Rendering corruption in Battlefield 1942 Desert Combat. ? GeForceFX Go5100/5200, Windows XP Plus!: Labyrinth flashes when launched in 180 degree mode. ? GeForce FX 5950 Ultra, Windows XP: ?X2: The Threat? benchmark is choppy or jerky in some places. ? GeForceFX 5200/5200 Ultra, NTSC: Video flickers at lower-right corner when downscaled with aspect ratio = free. ? Tiger Woods 2004 introductory movie is cut in half when run in 4x antialiasing modes. ? Game and Benchmark "Final Fantasy XI" flashes and has incorrect stereo effects. ? GeForceFX 5900/5950: Big Mutha Truckers is clipping the video area during the intro videos. ? Quadro 4 780/980 XGL, Unigraphics Iman Portal UI/LSE (7.0.3.8): Menus and pop-ups are blank, and overall graphics performance is poor. ?

+BeLGaRaTh Subscriber¹ Posted December 9, 2003 Subscriber¹ Share Posted December 9, 2003 Nice ... I hope these fix Beyond Good and Evil, the 52.16s create graphical glitches in the game with missing textures and other anomalies. Try and use the 45.23 and though the graphic corruption is gone, the game complains that the drivers are out of date :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyLarry Veteran Posted December 9, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2003 and once again out of curioisity how many people plan on doing a clean install (add/remove, etc) and how many people just plan on installing right over whatever versions they have now? i have found either or to work, and am still curious to this day what people prefer/suggest is the better way of doing it and why?

tomwarren Veteran Posted December 9, 2003 Veteran Share Posted December 9, 2003 These dets really aren't tested all that well, there isn't even an open issue for Wolfenstein/Enemy Territory issues. These will lock up your system (yes not blue screen) actually lock up so you have to soft reset. The only way around it is running wolf in windows 98 compatability mode and ensuring pb_system 1 is set in your autoexec file. Pretty crap from Nvidia tbh.

Dazog Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 its ok to upgrade, cause windows xp stores the old drivers so you can roll back to them if you don't like the new ones. so always upgrade so you can roll back real easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty crap from Nvidia tbh. was this issue with the 53.03 betas as well? ET is the game i always keep going back to and playing and i didnt have any problems at all the with Beta 53.03's. im not sure if this a known issue with the drivers themselves , because ET runs as smooth for me as it always has and i never had to run it in 98 compatbality mode or anything like that. im not arguing with you creamhackered im just suggesting maybe it was not the drivers as i had no issues at all... i did manually update my PB by going into the pb folder in the ET directory and running the pbweb update exe so maybe PB is the issue not the drivers???? just trying to help if possible and thanks spyder, voodoo, and dazog. its the way i have been doing it fro awhile now just installing right over i just have heard other members say it was such a no no to do, but im sticking with it as i have for ahwile now never an issue (and i have had to use rollback as well so there you go).
