Nvidia Verde Notebook Driver 258.96 BETA - Discussion relating to 11xR2

[kopicha]

Hmn Flash using firefox doesn't make the nvidia kick in though.

Is the flash from your firefox 10.1? also if you notice from this new driver, firefox is now listed in the application list. it can be default with intel or nvidia if that answer your question or clear your doubts

I can confirm that these drivers are BY FAR the best for starcraft II so far! its so great!

this sounds good to me. 2 more weeks before it hit shelves cant wait!

Idk if its just me but i was able to overclock my gpu a little higher with this driver. Because of that i was able to reach 8k 3dmark score. Finally a driver that works.

Going to install the driver right now and test it out, Do i first uninstall the nvidia drivers that are on right now? than install the new ones? better yet could someone please give me a step by step tutorial on it haha.

Better fps across the board here on BFBC2 and TF2.

Incidentally I have lodged a support ticket with punkbuster about the BFBC2 m11xr2 kicking issue, I'll do a thread if anything comes of it.

Not getting anyluck with stability on Fallout 3 with this driver. Everything else is grand. Is there a driver that does make fallout 3 stable?

Try this for Fallout 3. Go to Documents\My Games\Fallout3 and edit FALLOUT.INI

Find the line:
bUseThreadedAI=0

change it to:
bUseThreadedAI=1

and add the following line right after this one:
iNumHWThreads=2


FO3 kept freezing every few minutes until I made the above changes. Since the edits, I played about 20 minutes without a crash and moved on to other games to try. I got this from the Steam forums.

Download and install Guru3D - Driver Sweeper (Setup) download from Guru3D.com

Launch your uninstall programs in Control Panel and remove all Nvidia related items eg, PhysX, Drivers, Control Panel

Reboot your laptop and press F8 for boot option and boot into Safe Mode

Launch Driver Sweeper and check on all Nvidia items and run clean to clean out all Nvidia items then reboot back into Windows and install the new drivers

You are done!

replace the orignal nvdm.inf file from the folder that Nvdia extract the driver files to.

Dude, thank you so much. I played for an hour straight until it finally crashed out. Still not perfect but a much more stable than before.
