Sorry bro, can't help you there. Quite puzzled by it...

normally izzit ok to install a new driver without uninstalling the old 1?

not ok.. delete the old one
also, when installing a new driver, choose "custom install"
then tick "perform clean install"

we used to go to safe mode to delete an old driver then only we would install the new driver. but now it comes with this "perform clean install" , so we don't need to delete the old driver in safe mode.

I never did delete the older drivers when I installed a new one. I just let it override.

but the good way to install a new driver is to thoroughly uninstall the old driver to avoid conflict. that's why there is an option of "perform clean install". it thoroughly removes the old files from the old driver.

alex says he doesnt uninstall the old driver..
so did u try the new whql?

Nope, still using the 270.51 beta. Unless the WHQL gives a lot of improvement or stability, I usually don't upgrade.

i feel that the older driver is better than this latest driver..
260.99

sigh.. now thinking whether to revert my driver or not.. if revert then nid download old driver again ><..

no it doesn't... it merely removes the custom settings... there are still files left over...

u'll need specialized programs like DriverSweeper if u want to perform a clean uninstall...

mmm, so wat should i do now? currently idling @ 40~50 with the nvidia gpu constantly on. i dont mind if im plugged in, but when im on battery it does give me a hard time..

make sure u ve a copy of the old driver, then download DriverSweeper, uninstall Forceware, run DriverSweeper in SAFE MODE, boot back and reinstall the latest Forceware

if the situation continues, then it's up to u to decide if u want to revert or not...

hmmmm so we still need to use driver sweeper? that is such a long process.. i think i will revert back to the old 260.99..
i kept all the drivers that i had downloaded.. in cases like this

long? it's 2mins at the most... it's long mainly cuz it will clean the C:\Nvidia folder as well, which is where all the driver packages are... juz untick that and it will need to only delete a handful of files and registry entries...

i mean it is tedious for all the restarts. lol

well then, it's all in the mind...

i prefer to do the clean way since that can eliminate one potential problem should anything screw up and needs to be fixed...

i think i will do the clean installation afterwards and revert back to the old one.. which driver are u using now?

AMD Catalyst 11.3...

im using a42jv..using 260.61 driver but felt nt many diff frm 270.51 beta....

wow.... lambo asus the latest 1?? dat look like asus G73?

driver sweeper?? eh.. erm, what is it?? for uninstall all driver??
