Re: New Nvidia Drivers Today 02/07/06

sorry people. i kinda boneheaded this one. i just looked at the release date and wasnt looking at driver numbers. i was using the 82.12 beta already also. but it may be good for people that wasnt using beta i guess.

Re: New Nvidia Drivers Today 02/07/06

Anyone tried these yet? Ive already got 81.98 from 21/12/2005 why have they re-released it again?? Is it just to support 7800GS????

Re: New Nvidia Drivers Today 02/07/06

Plus I tried uninstalling them to put on 81.98 and because coolbits edits the registry, it f-ed up my windows, and I had to boot from the operating system CD to fix it, it would not load windows.

Coolbits makes those entries in the registry:

Do you really believe that coolbits has something to do with your machine not wanting to boot anymore?
I seriously doubt it.
You probably messed up something else in the process of uninstalling and then re-installing new display drivers.

actually, I have uninstalled many display drivers, but when I did it with the ones with coolbits this problem happened. I uninstalled them, when I rebooted, it said registry error, blah blah tried to install new drivers, no boot. I will give more description later but im at school ^_^

Re: New Nvidia Drivers Today 02/07/06

Did you use Driver Cleaner after uninstalling the drivers, [reboot] and before re-installing new drivers?
I install Coolbits as a separate registry entry, and have never had the problem you described.

Keep me posted, sounds interesting :)

Re: New Nvidia Drivers Today 02/07/06

Overall the new drivers are pretty good.

Got a 100 point increase in 3dmark

Now its at about 7767, and that aint bad for my pc :)

Read the instructions carefully before executing.

The Nvidia drivers do not get removed totally after uninstalling the drivers. There alre always some "leftovers" in the system directory.
That's just how things work in this business.
Otherwise it would get boring, wouldn't it?

how are those working out for ya? any improvement over 89.98?

[rumple9]

Re: New Nvidia Drivers Today 02/07/06

I havent noticed any improvement but the game looks sweet on my set up anyway. To be frank I suspect the only way of telling any difference between different driver sets would be to run 3d mark
