Someone gimmie a good Videocard Driver for the 7950!!!

This is getting really annoying, the v84.69's Are fine in windows but cause my system to pause for 4-5sec at a time every couple min during some games (like ST Legacy and one other i cant remember)

The 92.77's work great in games (no problems in ST Legacy) but cause windows to jitter once every 5min thats driving me nuts.

I cant run anything before those because the drivers dont recongnize the 7950.

Someone give me a good driver!!!!!

btw, its the same problems with the Extreme-G drivers.


On a side note, Is it just me or does the quickset plugin for WMP not work with WMP11 to have the LCD lights going with the music. When i click apply in quickset the check in the box clears itself.

Use the old dell drivers in my sig. They worked the best for me and I picked up 100points in 3dmark05 with them. You can download them from the dell website.

FastM u can go to laptopvideo2go.com U can't use standard nvdia drivers without using a modified .inf for mobile cards. I have a 7900gtx but just installed the 97.92 off the above site. They seem to run good. Just save their modified .inf file and replace the existing one in the drivers setup folder. Then install.

the go 7950gtx is supported by the 86.14 drivers included inf. you might have to uninstall the current drivers or just manually update the drivers from device manager.

I just looked in the .inf, the 7950 is not listed.


Thanx brownstone i will try the 97.92's first, if i still get screen jitters i'll try the dell ones KraxKill mentioned.
