lol, you I know love the power of these cards but the drivers really are poo arn't they, I wonder if there ever be any solid drivers out for them, I sometimes wonder if it's a hardware issue rather than software sometimes, since owning the 8800 it feels like I've gone back in time to owning an ati all in wonder but one that is on speed.

Tell me about it.... grrr! One more shot to get these working, I'll re-enable the old CP and see how that goes. Otherwise back to the 97.92 drivers it is.

Apparently you can enable it ok,

Worked very well with my graphics card. No issues. Old panel as usual:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies]
"ContextUIPolicy"=dword:00000001
"TaskbarUIPolicy"=dword:00000002
"CplGroupUIPolicy"=dword:00000003
"SedonaDisable"=dword:00000000

Then must click on "more options".

EDIT: Well that's worked. :D

Now to try these out and see what they are like. I can live without the new CP interface IF the drivers perform.

I dont have any problems with control panel and these, they seem fast as well. Now how do you hack that old control panel back?

See my above post. Basically you run "regedit" and navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies]

then alter these settings. The last one may need adding.

"ContextUIPolicy"=dword:00000001
"TaskbarUIPolicy"=dword:00000002
"CplGroupUIPolicy"=dword:00000003
"SedonaDisable"=dword:00000000
 
I might reinstall S.T.A.L.K.E.R. before I go out tonight and see if these help.

Thanks Firegod for the info about classic control panel, by the way. I recently migrated back to Nvidia and I can not get used to the new-fangled thing they have, drives me mad. :)

No worries bud. Although one thing which I haven't sorted yet. How do you get the new AA feature on the old CP? There is no "Enhance Application" and I can't set my AA above x4. So no x8Q or x16Q. :(

Sigh. I'll stick at it though. lol.
