I have been looking for good drivers for months now. OmegaDrivers just likes to have a website, but with no productive work. Laptopvideo2go is always a sure bet, but never see any true improvements. And tweakforce, well the XG-Mobile are just terrible, they always seem to cause some sort of fatal error.

Thanks NBF, these are the first truly great drivers I've seen for Mobile users. Its nice to find drivers that are dedicated to us mobile users. These have better IQ than any I've tried, and Ive actually have frame rate improvement in high quality details.

Just for reference: Using Asus G1, 7700 512mb. And I ran COD4 in 1280 800 @ High Detail and WoW @ 1680 1050 High Detail @ 120 FPS.

I was running the Nvidia drivers from the Nvidia website, version 169.xxx, for my 7950GTX. I just installed these drivers here.

Any idea as what FPS improvement I will see on games like Age of Conan or WoW?

The only 'hiccup' I've seen is with Vista's UAC and driver signing....but there are ways around that.
now it's back at 20-30% but I still can't see anything in process explorer
but in svchost.exe there are 3 threads that use the cpu all 3 are kernel32.dll
I can't see anything else, so now I'm gonna reinstall using the guide

Is it not showing you where the offending process is originating from?

the only service registered in the svchost.exe is the remote procedure call (RPC) service

I have reinstalled the driver following the guide and I'll see if it solved anything

and it's not that big of a problem I just need to restart the nvidia service and it's back to normal then

it seems the problem is gone with reinstalling the nvidia drivers
which is kinda weird as I didn't do anything special
thnx for helping me Buck, I think it was another problem than you had but still thnx

That's why you need to follow the driver reinstall guide.

I think it's doubtful that that was the only reason
because I did clean after I uninstalled the driver like the guide says
so maybe just reinstalling solved the problem even if I wouldn't have followed the guide but lets say it was because of the guide

Hi,

I've been using your untweaked 175.16 for a month now and they are very reliable. Have been playing Crysis, GoW, HL2 without issues thus far.
The only issue I have, and have been having with most recent drivers, is that when I wake up my computer from standby mode my LCD will be very dark. I have to reboot the computer to get it back to normal.

I believe this is caused by the "smart dimmer", didn't quite figure out how it works yet but disabling it fixed my problem. (Disable through the Nvidia Control panel).


I've been having a different issue though, i've been using 169.04 and now i have installed this 175.16. All is great except than when i export my screen to my LCD TV the resolution that the driver chooses is wrong and all i see on the screen is "Mode not supported". The way to fix it is to run "Multiple displays wizard" from the control panel and even then it chooses the wrong resolution of the LCD but then, i can go to standard windows display properties and change the resolution of the secondary screen to the right one.
I have to do it every time i reboot.
It's kind of annoying. 169.04 would recognize the LCD TV and the resolution without touching anything.

What's up with that ?

P.S Is there anywhere in the registry/filesystem that i can force to use a certain resolution for my lcd tv ?

I have been using this driver for a couple months now and it is by far the best one I ever used. Very stable and performant.

I used the XP version for a couple of months and it worked very well. I recently installed Vista, with help from your thread in the Dell section, and used the Vista version of the drivers. No issues and works very well. Keep the quality coming.

I installed the 175.16 NBF on my Vostro 1400 XP SP3 (Clean install) with 8400M GS over L2VG 169.09. I noticed the temperatures to increase ~7-10 degrees celsius. With 169.09

Im at average working of 61 to 62 ... with NBF 175.16 Im averaging 72 even for lighweight browsing and flash.
