any x64 drivers available?

Legless · 4 Feb 2006 at 13:34

Just what we need, more beta drivers... Oh well, guess i'll give them a wirl...

Just installed, I haven't tried any games yet and I don't think the CP is working for me (like many others) but nevermind. The old one is still good, and I've quickly ran 3DMark06 and got a boost of 65 points.

So they seem nice and quick.

update - NFS:MW played and looked fine.

I'll check these out now.

naffa: The x64 drivers normally come out within a day or two after the 32bit ones have.

I think the new control panel may only work with the default winxp themes as that was the problem people were having when nVidia attempted the new control panel a couple of months back. I'm not using these btw so only guessing

Dougsnake · 4 Feb 2006 at 22:10

seem to run ok not overly excited by the new control panel though........and nview seems to have dissapeared :eek:

mmj_uk · 4 Feb 2006 at 22:14

So is this new CP programmed in .net? it's not a slow bloated POS is it?

Dougsnake · 4 Feb 2006 at 22:19

Its not a POS and its quite fast ,infact its lightning fast compared to ati CCC just doesnt look anything amazing

sunlitsix · 5 Feb 2006 at 00:24

i've used the control panel before, and as said it is very fast

A new NVIDIA card for you to defend to the death!

aphex · 5 Feb 2006 at 00:48

Bah the drivers still don't fix the crashing in Source games with a dual core cpu

cyclopopcicle · 5 Feb 2006 at 08:35

i cant get the control panel to work
tried the services.msc fix but it was allready set as suggested so tried disabling then re-enableing but still no go

If you right click your desktop there is a new entry for Nvidia Control Panel which should open a new "fancier" window instead of that normal one in Display Properties.

DanMc07 · 5 Feb 2006 at 12:53

^ oh ok thanks m8.

One issue that I did find after installing these drivers, is that when logging on to my user area it takes 10x the normal time it should take. So ive just reverted back to the previous drivers 83.20 and the jobs a *** 'un.

Pickers · 8 Feb 2006 at 12:40

Whats the current "best" forceware drivers (I've got a leadtek 7800GTX running with an x2 4400 cpu)? Guru has several versions newer than the nvidia website. I'm currently on 81.95, and I get flickering trees in B&W2 and the odd shimmer in other games... ati tool reports no artifacts tho (admittidly I dont know much about gfx cards - I just like nice fast image quality.)

mmj_uk · 8 Feb 2006 at 12:43

83.40 are best atm.

if you are overclocking don't rely on atitool, the artifact tester is utter bulltihs.
