MSI's 81.95 Nvidia Forceware Drivers

Anyone know when they are going to be up? I still haven't found MSI's version of Nvidia's latest driver (released nov. 22, 2005) on the US website.

Drunkentig3r,
Always stick to the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers unless you have a Radeon, then always stick to the latest ATi Catalyst Drivers.
Take Care,
Richard

OFFICIAL nVidia 61.76 drivers on nVidia's site

nVidia has released Official ForceWare 61.76 on their site. Note however the SM3.0 is disabled in this version (probably b/c DX9.0c isn't officially out yet).
SM3.0 can be enabled by simply adding the following lines to the end of the nv4_disp.inf file BEFORE installing the drivers.
[nv_SoftwareDeviceSettings]
HKR,, D3D_35173345, %REG_DWORD%, 0x61243847
[nv_ClearRegistrySwitches]
HKR,, D3D_35173345
Apparently, a version 61.77 (which enables SM3.0 by default - and appears to be the only difference) should also be released.
Get them here. (Windows XP/2K).
Win9x/Me go here.
Mixed reviews so far, but most are reporting better performance...Try them and post your results...

What is SM 3.0?I also would like to know if Geforce FX 5700 SUPPORTS Direct X 9.0b

New Nvidia forceware 77.13

http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1087 check out here to download and test the forceware 77.13.
just be careful because its a beta .

Thanks, new drivers... again , there are some very good comments in the Guru 3d forum:
Quote
I have been updating and testing with all the newest drivers whenever I see a new set released..... and in my opinion, there has definately been a performance and image quality increase, not to mention fixes for games, with newer drivers.
I was using the 72.12's before switching to this driver, and I would say that IQ looks a little better, my games seem to run a little smoother, but the best thing about these so far is that they seem a little more stable with my high overclock ratio.
Keepers for me and I would recommend these to other FX users. FX 5600 User.
Quote
The sound bug (pops & clicks) from the 75.xx drivers is now GONE. So that in itself is fantastic.
Been playing Gulid Wars quite a bit and these work nicely with it, but 72.12 whql seems to be more stable than this set.
I recommend you at least give these a run on your system. I noticed speed increase, but will continue testing for stability.
Try em out. eVGA 6800 128mb User

Ok guys, i never installed a beta driver for my 6800 ever, but i decided to try these (was using 71.89 whql), this new 77.13 are the best drivers ever, PERIOD.
3dmark2003 increased, the increases are in Proxymon 2fps, the elephant shader thing jumped also 3 fps, the TROLLS vertex shader is 2fps higher.
Doom3 increased 2 fps from 60fps now timedemo gives 62fps (it seems these drivers increases 2 fps on average).
I comfirm 100% the IQ increase, sharper texture.
on thing i'd like to add is that it seems my desktop performance increase, pressing START, my computer after a reboot is much faster than before, is this things still possible in year 2005? i thought we left it in the 90's days, seems you can still have faster 2D performance on desktop.
now the bad....REDDICK doesn't like OPENGL 2.0 and don't run anymore, thankfully it works fine on my main pc (ATI X850).

Heres a few HL2 ingame timedemos i tested, downloaded from G3D, obviously.
Previous results with 76.45 =

New Nvidia Forceware drivers 61.77 turns Windows black & white

I just installed the latest Forceware drivers from Nvidia, ver. 61.77, and upon restarting Windows XP, I find out that everything is now in black & white! I'm running a Mega 180 with Win XP Pro by the way. Rolling back the drivers to my old ones brought back the color, so it would seem the new drivers are at fault here. Does anyone have a clue as to why this happens?

Hey Kid!
I got the same problem when I upgraded, and I too reverted back to the old drivers to get the color back. For some reason I tried a second install, and this time I found that an extra setting has been added to - if I remember this correctly, I'm at work now - the screen where you adjust brightness, contrast etc. This new setting is for reasons unknown set to the lowest setting as default, which is black/white. Raising it to its maximum setting brought back the wonderful world of colors again!
Cheers!

Dammit, im running behind allready
Installed the 81.95 like 2 day's ago....

Nvidia 257.21 64bit whql driver vs old 197.75 bugs and improvments.

I am testing this new driver on my system ( CS5 on Core i7 860, 8Gb mem, Win7 64Bit Pro and nvidia GTX480.) And experiance following problems. When using "fast blur in/ out as transition i get a strange "rollo curtain effect" Blacking out the image from right to the left side!
This only occurs with the new driver 257.21 and mercury engine turn on.

Here's a nice overview that someone did about PP CS5 and various nVidia cards and drivers. Note the recent edits concerning the 257.xx series drivers. A couple of words of caution on upgrading nVidia drivers (even WHQL) when they are released. First, nVidia's consumer cards and drivers are geared towards people playing video games and most of the improvements and bug fixes are timed with the release of new game titles. nVidia has a page on it's support website to report bugs, but I suspect that very few people using Premiere are likely to take the time to submit a bug report. If you're using an Quadro card and driver, you are far more likely to be safe in upgrading with a new WHQL driver.
Second, nVidia's driver installer package is notoriously, not very careful about removing all traces of previous drivers. Thus, sometimes, people accidently end up with a "hybrid" driver that is a combination of the new and the old. This is major reason for BSODs, etc.. If you visit gaming hardware sites like Guru of 3D, they suggest that you, uninstall the old driver, use a utility like Driver Sweeper that cleans up remnants of the old driver in the Windows registry, reboot and then install the new driver.
Wow! Is that all worth it? My suggestion (like Harm's) is if you're not having problems with the present video driver, don't install a new driver, just to see what might happen. I'm presently running 257.21 with a GTX 275 and I haven't seen any problems with CS5, but that's just my limited experience. The 257.xx drivers actually corrected an OpenGL problem in Magic Bullet Looks. I suspect that was just by coincidence, since a number of video games also use OpenGL.

Finally!
Probably our efforts writing nVidia, letting them know, counted.
Installation worked fine for me as well - W7 Ultimate from scratch etc / I'm not using their system anymore, I just installed the new driver from over the existent driver (the old one still available on Toshiba website, but clean at least :P).
Looking forward to knowing how it's working guys!
I noticed that the movement is smoother now...

IDE BLOCK ACESS in the MS-6570 K7N2-L (nFORCE 2)

I possess a K7N2-L with chipset nFORCE 2 and vi something in software SANDRA 2004 that it did not please me very. I verified exactly that the access to the hard disk is carried through in 16bits instead of 32bits, with qualified IDE BLOCK. It would like that they verified this together anomaly with the engineering staff and made possible one firmware correcting the problem, therefore will be truth I am not having access the record in its total speed and performance. What nothing it pleases me.
Another curious factor is that raríssimas the times that I bind the computer and this does not give to life signal, forcing me to press it reset or to power to return to its normal state. Stranger not? Somebody could indicate me where to lower bios beta for MSI K7N2-L FSB333? I am consuming fidiciary office to the products of the MSI has 3 years and I can say that they are of congratulations for the quality that is spotless in its products. For this I am here for not leaving this quality to leave the standard that as much I admire in this company.
Where 3 for Athlon 64 754 bolts are the plates mothers with nFORCE? They pardon me for the horrible English!
Been thankful
Possuo uma K7N2-L com chipset nFORCE 2 e vi algo no software SANDRA 2004 que não me agradou muito. Verifiquei que o acesso ao disco rígido é realizado em 16bits ao invés dos 32bits, mesmo com o IDE BLOCK habilitado. Gostaria que verificassem esta anomalia junto com o pessoal de engenharia e possibilitassem um firmware corrigindo o problema, pois se for verdade não estou acessando o disco em sua total velocidade e performance. O que nada me agrada.
Outro fator curioso é que raríssimas as vezes que ligo o computador e esta não dá sinal de vida, forçando-me a apertar o reset ou power para retornar ao seu estado normal. Estranho não??? Alguém poderia me indicar onde baixar bios beta para a MSI K7N2-L FSB333???
Sou consumidor fiel aos produtos da MSI há 3 anos e posso dizer que estão de parabéns pela qualidade que é impecável em seus produtos. Por isto estou aqui para não deixar esta qualidade sair do padrão que tanto admiro nesta empresa.
Onde estão as placas mães com nFORCE 3 para Athlon 64 754 pinos???
Perdoem-me pelo Inglês horrível!
Agradecido
RE: UP
It does not have nothing of missed with my source.
I am with the new update for mine mainboard (3.8).
My source is of 500W.
The configurations are all correct ones.

sandra tells lies my friend about lots of things
andf i suggest you list all hardware
and give max amps 3.3 5 and 12v of your psu Power Supply Guide
so we can get an idea about the booting issue

NX7600GT-TD512 with GA-K8NS-Ultra-939

Hi all,
I have bought a MSI NX7600GT-TD512 and use a Gigabyte GA-K8NS-Ultra-939 Mainboard with 2 GB RAM from Corsair and an AMD +3500 64 CPU. My nightmare started with the new graphic card. Before I had a 6800 Nvidia one. The computer was freezing after the change. No problems because I wanted to try out Windows Vista.
So I bought a new harddisk (they are cheap enough) and installed Vista. No problems other that my computer isn't powerfull enough to run some 3D intensive games under Vista with the same performance (and no Audigy 2 drivers which are running well).
So I backuped the important stuff of my old harddisk, reformated and reinstalled Windows XP SP2 with all MS security patches and Nvidia 5.11 chipset drivers + latest official Nvidia forceware drivers. But the computer was freezing while browsing or during simple tasks in Windows XP. Same happens in Games too. Sometimes it's very fast, sometimes it needs it time. Strange enough Vista is running without these problems.
I reinstalled Windows XP (formated the partition) and installed the 5.10 chipset drivers and the recommended MSI forceware drivers. No real change. I talked to Gigabyte but all is ok. Firmware (F10), no known incompatibilty.
I checked the internet for another bios/used Live Update but no Bios/Firmware update for this card.
I'm lost Only difference between Vista and XP is the way how the drivers communicate with Windows and the graphic card.
Help

I just got the NX7600GT-TD512Z (heat pipe cooling) today and I have the exact same motherboard. I am getting frustrated since I have the exact same problem as you describe. I noticed that it freezes when I try to start a 3D game or when I visit websites with flash. I have tried installing the drivers that came with the card and also the newest ones from nividia website, but no go. I have also done 2 fresh installs of Windows XP but nothing fixes it. I tried disbeling AGP fast write in the motherboard BIOS, also no difference.
I have nearly brand new PSU (Antec NeoHE 430W) and everything worked fine yesterday with my old Gigabyte 6600GT.
Does anyone with the same problem have a fix for this? If not, have anyone had any success getting a return from MSI?
Fred

Forceware (nvidia original) driver issues in FX5950 ultra

Hi guys, well, here I am again wondering if there is a bios update for my card (msi geforcefx 5950 ultra), cause since drivers 61.72 nvidia forceware, my OS is giving that old bad blue screen on windows xp sp2 startup. In fact, since driver forceware 61.72 I could only use the msi 72.12 driver, all other drivers that was released since 61.72 from nvidia site is crashing my os, and most of the msi site too
Well now the newest forceware driver 71.89, is doing that bad blue screen too.
So is there any bios upgrade for my video card, i dont use the msi update software cause i preffer to flash by floppdisk. And the msi site seems to only offer motherboard bios to flash.
Hmm I dont think it is a virus prolem, I use Kaspersky antivirus, best there is, and already formated system and installed all over again. No results.

A BIOS upgrade would have zero effect, unless you have solid information supporting it.
The problem is most likely that the newer generation drivers are aimed specifically towards the newer cards on the market. Sometimes support for older cards is compromised in the process.
I suggest staying with the drivers that work best with your card and OS.
There is also the possibility that there are remnants of old drivers still present in your system, that are causing problems as well.
Have you used Driver Cleaner for each driver you tried?
MSI does not supply BIOS updates for VGA cards other than in Live Update. But that is a big risk, since sometimes Live Update causes problems with VGA BIOS updates. You could at least see if there is a BIOs update by installing and running the Live Update Software just to see. Then the decision is yours to make. If it did make any difference, that would be a first in my experience. If you decide to do anything, make sure you back up your current BIOS as we can't get BIOS for you. You are on your own.
I think mostly it is a combination of driver and perhaps your OS health.
Unless you absolutely need the latest driver (such as a game or app that specifically calls for a version) then there is no reason to update your driver.

Beta nVidia Driver 257.15 officially supports MPE in CS5

http://www.nvidia.com/object/win7-winvista-64bit-257.15-beta.html
This is the link to the Win 7 64 bit driver. Versions for other OSes can also be found on the nVidia driver website. From the "highlights":
"Supports the new GPU-accelerated features in Adobe CS5."
As with all beta drivers, it is not recommended that you install this driver on a production machine. There is one additional change in this driver in that nVidia has converted the XML file nVApps.xml, that controls video settings for individual pieces of software, to a binary file, which cannot easily be modified by the user. A series 257 driver for the Quadro series has not yet been posted, as nVidia generally provides only WHQL versions.

That's my thinking on it also. But it's worth experimenting with it to see how widespread the problems are. With the 257 driver there's also no way of directly editing nVApps.xml until nHancer is updated.There's several other tools that will do this and work with the 257 driver, but in my opinion, it's presently not worth the effort. It might be worthwhile submitting any CS5 bugs that are discovered here:

Why Nvidia Official notebook drivers cannot be used to update U460

i ran the latest nvidia notebook drivers only to find out that it cannot detect the discrete graphics.
had to resort to the one provided by lenovo on their website...
why cant we simply update based on latest drivers??

you can use official nvidia graphic drivers.
just make sure you install the correct drivers for your u460 and also make sure you have nvidia graphic adapter.
