i downloaded the inf from here : http://www.overclock.net/attachments/softw...sp_vista_32.zip and i extract it to a folder.den i copy tht nv_disp(2).inf to C:\NVIDIA\WinVista\177.39 ( default directory, i din change anything).den i click 'run as administrator' on setup.exe.

ok. it runs and install everything bla bla bla.den it ask me wan reboot system or not. i press YES. fine, rebooted.but then the 177.39 drivers was not installed. den i deleted my old 175.16 driver and repeated those steps again. cant work. fine.den i go to msconfig and prevented rivatuner from loading during windows startup. still the same. anyone can tell me wats the problem ? my steps? or my OS since i'm using vista 32bit service pack 1.

Are you getting "System is not modified" when it asks you to reboot?

If yes, then download the driver again from here:-

i think the physx 08.06.12 is not compatible with older cards....latest for our range of card is version 08.04.02

UPDATE: dl-ed 177.35 and tried to install....installation was ok but after booting up gpz-z still show is 175.70...sigh

It depends. On UT3, only PhysX maps show improvement. Besides that, nothing much.

Also, it seems that 177.35 fixed the DX10 performance for a few games - I've tested Crysis and UT3 only, and they seem to run just like how it ran in XP.

thanks alot. i dun play crysis actually. now i downloading 3dmark vantage. slow dl speed. doh.gif
the only dx10 game i play now is lost planet:extreme condition.the UT series also. i only have the first version of unreal tournament back in P3 days using direct x 7 laugh.gif

smtg strange here,both of us using the same Q6600, frequency also shud be the same.mobo and ram different le.but his GC is a 9800GX2. compare CPU score using PhysX, i get 29.5k like dat,his one 31.2k.means even if u hv a much more powerful GC,it doesn't affect much CPU score using PhysX?

now i OC to 3.2Ghz(356X9)
CPU score rise to 30669.
when its 3.0Ghz (334X9)
CPU score is at 29571.

simple hypothesis for my rig,every 200 Mhz increase in proc will produce roughly 1.1k CPU score in 3Dmark vantage.

8800GT of coz can use 177.35.its not bad at all drool.gif
