NVidia's new 197.16 driver release

nVidia has just released the new 197.16 driver for most of their mobile GPUs.
Wondering if anyone has upgraded yet, is the update good or bad and has anyone had any issues with the new driver?  The last driver update to the 195.62 had some overheating problems on my laptop so I don't want to get this new update if that is still happening.

So far, no issue at all.

  • New Mac Wacom driver released

    Not sure, Mark. I've simply noticed it on my machines, which are all Intel based. I was curious.
    As I posted, I've been a tablet user for a very long time and it was only under 10.5.4 and 10.5.4 with WACOM driver 6.0.8-2 that the double-click was a problem, and primarily in the Finder. The new driver seems to have cured the issue.

  • NVidia GeForce 344.11 Driver Release date 9/18/2014 crashes Win 8.1 Pro

    NVidia GeForce 344.11 Driver Release date 9/18/2014 crashes/kills/shuts down Win 8.1 Pro, which also fails to start!
    The previous version 340.52 worked ok.
    Solution to get a working system:
    1) let Win 8.1 take into use the previous working version (you may loose some app updates)!
    2) let Win 8.1 pro update itself (takes a long time but its worth waiting!)
    Note:
    a. Ten points to Win 8.1 Pro being able to restore the previous working version
    note: compare to Linux with eternal rest loop and "kernel in panic" state if you use NVidia's new drivers!!
    b. Zero points to NVidia from this bug!
    Continuation: waiting for a well tested new NVidia driver while using the older one

    Hi, had exactly the same last night, on  my relatively clean 8.1 64bit, GeForce Experience flagged up a recommended upgrade from 340.52 to 344.11 on my GTX650 ASUS card.   Bumbled along for a while, then blue screened, reported kernel damage,
    wouldn't even get far enough to restore, so had to use the 8.1 disks.   Today, given its a completely clean system  I tried again to prove the Nvidia was to blame, and again GeForce flagged up this upgrade,  there's nothing on the system except
    for Office and Avast, and again completely crashed and cycled the blue screen trying to boot.   This time it eventually went into repair mode and restored right back to a clean 8.1 without the DVD's, but still had to reinstall my apps.   Lots about
    this on forums,  seems this upgrade scrambles the registry big time.  Anyone know what the actual cause of this was  ??   Pretty fed up with Nvidia releasing untested crap like this.

    For instance, here is the current page to download drivers, etc., for the 0404 USB:

    The install package there is dated April 2007.
    Why did you include USB models in your post about new driver releases? Are they somewhere else?
    Hmm... maybe you didn't look close enogh behind the link given for drivers for USB models in my post ... though, those are not new final drivers but as the previous USB driver expired 17 or 18 January, E-MU refreshed them 18 January. Also, I have not informed anything 'bout new drivers for USB but only new driver releases as the subject says.

  • W510, newest driver released in 7 Oct is still buggy. 4.95.48

    The new SmartAudio is still weird, compared to an old version, can anyone clear my doubts? Thanks in advance.
    Under the Volume Mixer
    If Classic Mode was selected in Audio Director, it will have options to adjust volume for speaker/headphone and microphone.
    If Multi-Stream Mode was selected in Audio Director, it will have options to adjust volume for speaker, headphone, docking, external and internal microphone.
    Is this normal?
    Under the Audio Director
    I would like to know how does Classic or Multi-Stream mode works. As for my W510, if I choose Multi-Stream, the headphone bass will be stronger and music will be louder, but the onboard speaker will not produce any sound, not even with different sound. Is the audio director feature-set available in W510, Conexant HD20585? If not, why is this audio director feature-set is in SmartAudio in the 1st place?

    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/How-to-get-sound-from-the-laptop-speakers-a... 
    Under the SmartEQ/3D Settings
    First Problem
    If the 31Hz is set to high/max, the sound and the bass will be softer, but if the 31Hz is set to minimum, the sound and the bass will be louder and deeper. (It seems like the range was reverse, higher is weaker, lower is stronger) Tested on Sennheiser HD202, onboard speaker would not be affected as it will not produce such a low freq, but affect headphones as the frequency range will be much wider.
    Second Problem
    If the 62Hz or 125Hz is set to high/max, the bass greatly increased, but the overall sound will be much softer and you have to increase the main volume to compensate it. From what I used, Hi-fi EQ or other computers EQ, increase the low frequency does not make the overall sound softer. (Affect both headphones and onboard speaker)
    Third Problem
    Phantom Speaker and 3D Immersion works for speaker in Custom EQ only, select Phantom Speaker or 3D Immersion mode in Off EQ or Preloaded (Jazz, ....) EQ, it will automatically be switched to Custom EQ. But a T400 allow you to use Phantom Speaker or 3D Immersion in Off or Preloaded EQ mode without automatically being switched to Custom EQ.
    Fourth Problem
    Click on the Enable Night Mode will create a sudden spark sound (high volume) and the sound will be slightly louder for seconds. Disable Night Mode don't affect the sound. Like this, what is the night mode for?
    I am an audiophile and sometimes I help people to test out their project. Is there any newer driver releasing out soon to fix the following problems?
    Thanks
    Peter

    New released driver: 4.95.48.50
    Listed Problem
    1st problem, not resolved
    2nd problem, not resolved
    3rd problem, not resolved
    4th problem, partially resolved, no more spark sound, but night mode seems useless, no effect at all.
    New problem happen after install 4.95.48.0.
    1. The volume of the left and right speakers are imbalanced, even though the settings are balanced in Control Panel. Sometimes the left speaker will be louder than the right or the right speaker will be louder than the left.
    2. The right speaker produce sparking sound when it plays short notification windows sound or when a media is played. I hold the backspace button to play Windows sound to prove that it is abnormal. It may be a speaker issue causes by speaker cable damaged by system overheating or sound chip/driver issue as it has popped sound on headphone/speaker when muted button was pressed. 
    3. Both speakers does not produce any sound, the sound will appear just for few second and stops after the volume was adjusted, it makes the sound unusable. Intermittent problem. (So far not encountered in 4.95.48.50)
    Best Regards

  • T61p Nvidia drivers - new drivers give jerky DXVA playback

    I gave another shot at installing the latest drivers for my Nvidia FX 570M, but it seems that CUDA does work well when there are other applications running in the background. When I play 1080p (or 720p)mkv files, there is a jerkyness, audio and video halts for a few seconds and then it resumes.
    With the old drivers from Lenovo, everything seemed fine, but the drivers did seem to have a few bugs in the interface, or retaining the settings for increased refresh rate.
    Does anyone else have these issues?

    It seems like the problem is a conflict with other applications that use hardware acceleration. I disabled it in Firefox, and now video playback is fine. 
    I wonder if I should alert Nvidia or Mozilla about the problem. Given the problem has consistently been with newer drivers, it seems like it is Nvidia's responsibility.

  • Nvidia Verde 304.79 Beta Driver on GE620dx

    Hi,
    I've tried installing the new beta driver from nvidia, the Verde 304.79 Driver. It works fine with TSW and my GPU temps are stable, but the problem is that my integrated graphics seems switching every now and then even if it's idle (power button goes orange then blue every 20 seconds or so). Tried to play SF4 and FPS dropped so low. Anyone here experiencing this too? Thanks .

    It's an nVidia driver problem. Neither one of the two new betas do anything but give me a black screen with GTX 680's in SLI. 301.42 works well. Best recommendation would be to report it to nVidia and stay with 301.42 for now.

  • New X-Fi Driver ( XP) from Auto Update - Version 2.1

    Hi,
    i got a new driver for my x-fi elite pro via ms auto update: 2.0.0 / 5.2.8.20 / 8-Jun-07
    Anybody any idea whats new in this driver?
    regards
    This driver is removing the DTS/AC3 decoding capability on xp !!!Message Edited by Darkstorm on 07-0-2007:32 PM

    Hmmmm... Release 2.0.0 is the same driver release you can get from Creative. Although in the downloads section is called 2.09.0007, the AutoUpdate function identifies it as 2.0.0
    If you look at the driver version offered by Windows Update (through Windows Catalog, no need to download anything), you'll see is 5.2.8.20, exactly the same as the aforementioned release, but dated 8/06/07, hence Windows Update considering it a newer version.
    Moreover, it will most likely be a stripped down version of Creative's distribution package, hence the much smaller size and the missing functionalities.
    The only thing they've done is upload the October release, which replaces the previous version available, which dates back to January '03.
    Unless you install the XP drivers from the Vista package, you're pretty much stuck with the October release.
    EDIT: Apologies if the information above is misleading. I assumed 5.2.8.20 was the driver from the October release. However, it seems that I installed a different driver at some point, and this is not correct.
    However, the driver version offered by Windows Update is definitely 5.2.8.20Message Edited by MrToad on 07-0-2007:30 PM

  • Nvidia GeForce4 440 Go Display driver wanted for Satellite 5105-S901 !

    Dear all,
    I have Toshiva Satellite 5105-S901 and experiencing some proplems with running latest games, perhaps because of pretty old Nvidia GeForce4 440 Go Display driver. Laptop has been bought in 2002, and since then video-drivers were not updated.
    So, where can I get them?
    Nvidia does not provide drivers for Go chipsets and send customers to manufacturers. But on tosiba.com I found drivers that were placed there exactly in 2002. My laptop already has these.
    But where to get the new ones?
    I don't believe that there in no driver-update heas been done by Toshiba for three years for Nvidia GeForce4 440 Go Display driver.
    Well, need some advice.
    Sincerely your's
    Alex.
    P.S.:Laptop still has good perfomance(P4-2Hz,2gb RAM,64Mb Video).

    Hi Alexei,
    I had problems with my ATI Radeon graphics not working an some games, so I contacted the TDK technical support guys who suggested I should use the latest drivers from http://www.omegadrivers.net/.
    Sadly I could not get the ATI drivers to load on my notebook but perhaps you will have more luck with the NVIDIA ones.
    I agree with you that it is a great shame that Toshiba do not update their graphics drivers.
    regards,

  • I have moved all my songs onto a new external hard drive but it has wiped my iPod clean. Although when I connect my iPod it's starts teh process of sync'ing - so many songs in I get a pop up advising the siong could not be read or written to?

    I  have moved all my itunes onto a new external hard drive to free up space. It has wiped my ipod clean! I can still see the itunes on the new hard drive so I restored my iPod and tried to sync. Although when I connect my iPod it's in the process of syncing, so many songs in I get a pop up saying could not copy to my iPod as xyz song title could not be read or written. I click ok for this pop up to dissapear and then another pop up appears saying could not coyp to iPod because of unknown error.!!! Help I'm going crazy.

    Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location.  Select the location of your on external hard drive. 

  • I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died.  Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive.  How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

    I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died.  Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive.  How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

    This is a tricky one.
    Open up Time Machine and go back to a date using the timeline on the right side of the window when you know the drive was working and was backing up as part of Time Machine backups.
    Click on the name of your Mac under the Devices heading on the left side of the window in Time Machine, and if things are working correctly you will see Macintosh HD (or whatever you have named it) and the name of the external hard drive that was backing up in the past.
    Right-Click on the name of the external hard drive and then click on "Restore (name of drive) to....."  You may be asked for your adminstrator password at this point.
    It might be easier to restore the drive contents to your desktop if you have room on your Mac, and then copy things over to the new external drive where you want to store the Aperture and iMovie Libraries.
    Once the libraries have been moved over the new external hard drive, you will likely need to "point" Aperture and iMovie to the location of the libraries on the new external hard drive.

Maybe you are looking for
