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

standard mode from clone mode.

This is not an NVIDIA bug, but is a known issue with the application.

benchmark.

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 Try and use the 45.23 and though the graphic corruption is gone, the game complains that the drivers are out of date :huh:

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?

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.

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).
