Walau terkejut juz now. I DL-ed the 174.31 driver from Dell. After restart cannot play FIFA08. At first menu was smooth, when gameplay, it was nightmare. Screen black out. After waiting for a long time, the screen returned normal. But as soon as I kicked off the screen went blank again.
Didn't wait to restart again. Installed the 169.09 driver from laptop2video. Significantly better than 174.31 as now I can play the game smoothly (after restart of coz), but with a few glitch here and there though (game freezes for a few seconds den resumes)...
Any stable drivers that can get rid of that glitch?
After a quick check, it seems that Windows recognises the new driver as 174.31 (after refreshing WEI), while NVIDIA recognises the new driver as 169.09. Weird stuff...
WEI no change, but gaming graphics increase by 0.1. Was expecting the graphics card part to increase but it remained the lowest score of all (4.6).
Mind my noobiness, first time installing a crucial driver to my lappie.
Specs as shown in siggie.

QUOTE(eclectice @ May 4 2008, 01:29 AM) It is possible that your Nvidia driver installation is not so clean (registry problems, etc.) which it ends up with mixed up core Nvidia driver versions and references. You should not have different core Nvidia driver versions and references mixed up. Otherwise, you will end up like what you have been experiencing just now. I have installed Nvidia drivers from Dell (stock Nvidia drivers) and from notebookforum.com (NBF MobileForce version). And, I have no problem with both sources. 1) 156.83 - Dell Vostro 1400 stock driver (better temperature signature since it disables the Shader clock) 2) 174.31 - NBF MobileForce driver (have two installation modes: one mode for performance, another one for non-performance) Wow you're good. Yea i didn't use the driver cleaner pro thingy coz i dunno how to uninstall the driver (and in a way afraid of complications). So does using the driver cleaner now do any difference? Does it still help clean out the driver files? This post has been edited by DJFoo000: May 4 2008, 10:17 PM |

yea I did create a restore point. So means now I should use Driver Cleaner Pro, and the glitch should disappear?
EDIT: It seems that device manager is showing the driver version correctly (6.14.11.6909), but it says differently in the details for the Windows Experience Index (7.15.11.7431). Dxdiag is also showing the correct version. FIFA08 no more glitches after another restart.
Is it ok to leave it like that?

QUOTE(eclectice @ May 5 2008, 02:14 AM) What about the System Information under Nvidia Control Panel? What does it show? Hopefully, if you have no problem installing another game next time, then you should stay like this.
Yea, System Information under NVIDIA CP also telling me the correct one... Thx for the replies anyway! |
