IceBreakerG Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 Alright, after a full night, i've determined that this driver is complete crap, at least on a mobile GPU. I left my laptop on all night (like i normally do) and woke up to find that it had locked up in Vista. No big deal, I restart it, and everything is ok for the moment. Get to school, turn it on, guess what. Those damn artifacts are back. This time its worse than it was before. I check the control panel, and its still set to single display performance mode like it should be, yet i'm still getting artifacts. The only other thing I can think of, is that Vista or the drivers more than likely, do not recognize my LCD display as a valid display. When I try to identify the display, nothing happens at all (its never identified). In the control panel, it just shows digital display. Guess i'm gonna have to wait for some new drivers (which means I won't be using Vista until its released next year unless nvidia gets off their ass and gets some "good" drivers out). I'm almost 100% positive Dell wont post any Vista compliant video drivers for this notebook.

neolestat Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Doesn't work with my setup which is a XP2000+ and a FX5900 XT. Actually, the drivers totally messes up the Vista installation so it won't boot. Tried to boot into safe mode and rolled back to the older drivers but it still doesn't boot in regular mode...

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted September 10, 2006 Veteran Share Posted September 10, 2006 Installed RC1 today and put these on. No problems so far from what I can see, though performance doesn't seem to be blinding.. My card is a GeForce 6600GT AGP...

Sanjay Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 Installed the new driver and everything seemed fine until I tried to run a HD Mpeg2 file in Cyberlink PowerDVD player. Vista crashed and I had to reset PC. Back to the built in driver for me. I have a 7900GT card.

3rdDin8 Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 For me it worked, for the most part. When the installation finished it froze Vista, but after a restart, it worked fine but (here's the main problem to me) during the log in screen, the monitor switiches to the highest widescreen resolution so everything is bunched up and there's 1 and a half log in screens :blink: Log in as normal, and the screen is fixed :D No noticeable performance improvment on the desktop, so bye-bye drivers :D Card: GeForce FX 5200 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/492079-new-nvidia-drivers-for-rc1-9633/page/4/#findComment-587870058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
