karl76 0 Posted March 17, 2007 Here are the drivers: 32bit incl. modified inf supporting most cards: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1599 32bit and 64bit with original inf: http://www.station-drivers.com/page/nvidia%20forceware.htm They originally support only unreleased mid-end 8 series cards (8600) but with a modified nv4_disp.inf they work nicely on my 8800GTX. While they didn´t remove the fog (which BTW is a Valve bug when a game runs on the Source engine), they did seem to improve the performance hit around that certain type of bush. I didn´t test them long enough to check for the VRAM/memory/LOD/stuttering bug or the high postprocessing bug (introduced in 1.05) but from the 15 minutes that I tested them, I´m actually happy to say that they are an improvement over the good old 97.92s. They also improved Test Drive Unlimited, a game with a streaming engine that properly deletes old textures out of the VRAM. My modified nv4_disp.inf to support the 8800 cards: <table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE"> ; NVIDIA Windows 2000/XP Display INF file ; Copyright (c) NVIDIA Corporation.

MfG Lee You might have a very long wait then. I don't think nvidia isn't releasing anymore drivers for XP because they have made a deal with M$. More buyers for Vista when XP isn't supported. When was the last time XP users got driver update ? I think it was sometime in fall. November 2 exactly. Very long time without update so far. World is a cruel place.

CallMeSir 0 Posted March 17, 2007 What are you lot on about? of course nvidia will release new XP drivers. They supported Win98 for years after XP...it's hardly in their interest to piss off the customer base is it? Anyway these seem like good drivers, with small increases in shader perfomance. They seem generally fast and stable, but remember to add the modded inf and do a manual install. If you overclock ATI tool is great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those of us who have bought the "greatest" gfx card on the market are suffering right now. ArmA doesnt run great on the 8800's. We've put alot of money into this and end up like suckers.

-)rStrangelove 0 Posted March 18, 2007 There's no 'real' Dx10 game out for Vista yet. You really believe Nvidia will stop making drivers for XP, hitting 99% of their customers on the head? What are those million$$$ you get from MS in a dodgy deal worth when you're loosing a great deal of customers? Vista is wayyy overhyped when it comes to gaming. Even IF there's a slowdown on XP driver development atm imo it's more related to the fact Nvidia has problems getting their SLI stuff to run on Vista. The development itself won't just stop, it's more like they will slowly shift from XP to Vista the more ppl are gaming on Vista i believe. I mean, that would be reasonable.

A hell lot of years have passed and industry in every country are now after the same thing. More money with less work. How else can you explain that no drivers aren't released after november. Usually driver updates come every month. The explanation is simple, they're having a hard time getting their drivers to work well under Vista. Â More effort has gone into providing a working set for that OS. The fact that two 100 series drivers have come out from third parties, prove nvidia are still writing drivers for XP. XP will have a larger user base than Vista for a long time and drivers will be released to cover new products and resolve issues. If you think differantly, you have a very limited grasp of business practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shataan 1 Posted March 18, 2007 They will have to have really great performing Vista drivers for me to make the upgrade. Till then they had better fuxoring support us XP users. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INNOCENT&CLUELESS 0 Posted March 19, 2007 @karl76: is that the complete .inf? So I could copy/paste as it is into an empty file with the name "nv4_disp.inf" and that`s it? My system is not stable at all and currently I try everything to improve it - not very analytical, but since I do not have telling logfiles about the crashes it is the only way. PS: Forget it! Downloaded and recognized that the .inf is already included ready to use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karl76 0 Posted March 19, 2007 Yes it is the full .inf so you could just copy and paste it or use that guru3D download link which comes already with a modded inf. I posted the inf in here just in case somebody already downloaded from that other mirror and didn´t want to download it again. Hope this driver helped you a little with your problems!

INNOCENT&CLUELESS 0 Posted March 20, 2007 I tested this driver, game crashed immediately, blue sceen pointed to the video driver, also lowering to lowest settings did not help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INNOCENT&CLUELESS 0 Posted March 20, 2007 I gave up, I will beat it with hardware since both the OS and ArmA not generating any usefull logs to analyze. I ordered: 2 different 768MB 8800 GTX + 1x 7950er to see if it is really a problem with G80 + related driver and my 680i chipset. Next would be that I switch to intel chipset if all cards crashing. If this does not help and (YES) ArmA is still the only game that causes those crashes (OFP dont and C&C3 don't) I would say ArmA is the problem. Current test rig: 1 x 768MB Gainward GeForce 8800GTX DDR3 PCIe 1 x Intel Core 2 Duo (Conroe) E6700 2660MHz S775 4MB Box 2 x Kit 2x1024MB Corsair DDR2 800MHz PC2-6400 CL4 1 x Asus STRIKER EXTREME S775 NF680I-SL 1 x 320GB Seagate ST3320620NS Barracuda 7200 16MB Cache 1 x ATX Big Thermaltake Mozart TX VE1000SWA mit Fenster silber(o 1 x Thermaltake Toughpower 850 Watt 1 x Logitech G15 Keyboard btw the G15 driver itself crashed several times hence it is deinstalled until system is stable. UPDATE 23.03.2007 Tried again the 100.95beta for XP 32.bit with the pimped *.inf to run with 8800er cards. I succeed to play 4 minutes ArmA before a freeze! wow! my new record! Installed OFP:R with my favorite mods and guess what? Played several hours. Tried 3DMark2006 with standard test set - passed! May I point onto ArmA? Will try at weekend all sucking brand new game demos I can grab. Will report the outcome. EDIT 27.03.2007 Tested now with EVGA 8800 GTX 768 MB VRAM, results are the same, waiting for the 7950er... AND! OFP crashes too, ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karl76 0 Posted March 21, 2007 I&C, that is really strange. You are using XP and not Vista, right? I didn´t have one BSOD with these drivers, which is quite rare for beta drivers and they are in my opinion, the best XP drivers right now. I do have an Intel motherboard (965) and only a single 8800GTX but I find it extremely odd why they would cause BSODs for you bot not for me. I hope you find the cause for your problem.

INNOCENT&CLUELESS 0 Posted March 27, 2007 @ Karl76: I do currently the last tests on GPUs, then I change the mainboard. As you see many others having 8800er and your MB having my problem, any new findings pointing on something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
guerilla -MCY- 0 Posted March 27, 2007 @INNOCENT&CLUELESS i had a similar problem like you're having, my rig was as follow: Duo 6700E, MSI GTX8800, EVGA SLI 680i, 4 x 1Gb Apacer 800Mhz i could'nt even install windows, so i changed to 4 x 1Gb Apacer 667Mhz and xp was installed. but the game had ctd's like you mentioned them and as "some", not all, games worked fine over hours i thought it was ArmA but with bf2 i had the same ctd's. i decided then to change the ram's to the one you're having and the problem was gonne (2 x 1Gb paired Corsair 800Mhz CL4 or 5, the worse one) so i would first try with other rams like kingston etc. propably just 2 Gb as Xp supports only 2.8 and ArmA 2.0. Check with Asus which RAM's are really tested and approved for your board. if that doesn't help i think you should exchange your motherboard, prolly another model. keep in mind that ArmA works on other similar systems, so i'm pretty sure it's some hardware incompatibility (heavy word lol) and as you're using latest technology you might find such problems you're having. for me corsair was the solution, for you it might be kingston and as it works for some minutes and crashes as you described, it can't be the gpu, rather the mainboard and changing to my evga sli 680i will work excellent with your ram (i guess) i hope i could help a bit... good luck... cya online Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
INNOCENT&CLUELESS 0 Posted March 27, 2007 The RAM I bought on purpose - it is on the green list for tested RAM for this particular MB. Hence I consider only that the RAM might be faulty. Nevertheless I entered the stage where I would perform any voodoo just to get it running :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

INNOCENT&CLUELESS 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Yo walker I do not have a separate sound card, I use the onboard card or the USB headset. I tried also without the headset to check if this might cause some trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
walker 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Hi INNOCENT&CLUELESS I think your onboard sound card may be the cause of all your problems. Check and see if it is an AC97. Kind Regards walker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtylarrygb 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Hi INNOCENT&CLUELESSI think your onboard sound card may be the cause of all your problems. Check and see if it is an AC97. Kind Regards walker 8800 GTX runs fine if you DONT max terrain or textures and PP, everything else can be maxed. If there is a bug its with terrain/textures. WOW can still hang for me, BF2 occasional hangs. The 8800 drivers are not as stable as my old 7 series ones. But I get 2x the perfomance and when i hang 99% I can CTRL ALT DEL and restart the app. I garee that AC97 should be avoided at all costs, a cheap XIFi card improves performance in most games.

INNOCENT&CLUELESS 0 Posted March 28, 2007 I kicked out once more the RAM and just left one 1GB modul and I played 45 Minutes without any problem. All RAMTEST Tools said everything is fine and fast before with the 4 GB installed. Could it be that Windows XP SP2 and/or ArmA is to stupid to utilize/address the RAM properly??? Or is it more feasible that tools may not find faulty RAM? But it is true : sometimes "less is more" EDIT: Got some hints from Killswitch: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1164334 seems I fight with a known problem.
