Using unbranded nVidia drivers with OC-edition MSI cards

Hello,
I'm using MSI GeForce 8800GT 512MB OC edition (NX8800GT T2D512E-OC) with branded MSI drivers.
Since MSI doesn't exactly release new drivers on daily basis (latest release - 175.16, 7/21) I was considering using unbranded drivers directly from nVidia.
I'd like to ask if there would/could be any performance decrease or any issues related to using unbranded drivers with my card.
My hardware retailer told me I *must* use branded drivers as it is an OC edition card, but he already stuffed me with bullcrap before so I'm asking here to confirm (or disconfirm, hopefully).
Thanks for any help in advance.

You can use any drivers

Yes, that's rubbish

I am planning to buy an iphone 4 or 4s in saudi arabia. can i use it in India with a different sim card? plz reply

Yep, but you won't have any warranty or support for this phone in India, nor will you have FaceTime. FaceTime has been permanently removed from all iPhones purchased from official sources in Saudi Arabia.

I have an iPhone 4 (CDMA) that is unlocked, can I use this in Europe with a European SIM card?

An iPhone 4 CDMA is CDMA only. It doesn't have any GSM circuitry and doesn't have a SIM slot. You can only use it on the network it was originally sold for.

Can I use a SH6868 cable with NI6034E or NI6024E cards and my BNC2090

I have got a BNC2090 and a SH6868 cable, I want to buy NI6034E or NI6024E cards. Can I use the SH6868 cable with NI6034E or NI6024E cards and my BNC2090?

Greetings,
The SH68-68-EP cable has been optimized for use with E Series devices. This optimization revolves around the configurations of the twisted pairs. Thus, the SH68-68-EP is the recommended cable for your setup. However, the SH6868 will function correctly. This cable is intended to be used with NI 435x devices.

Good luck with your application.

I changed my provider and hence up-dated my iphone from a 3 to a 4. I am travelling to the UK and want to unlock and take my old phone (iphone 3) to use in the uk with my UK sim card. How do I do this??

you need to contact the provider of your old phone and find out 1) if the provider unlocks phones and 2) what the procedure is to get the phone unlocked.

Using nVidia drivers with Xorg 7.1

Evidently it can be done.

I have tried the COPY_BUFFER=0 case you describe. The GL application windows continued to update.
There are no issues with XGrabServer confusing the GPU. It can be called at any time and, once it has reached the server, will block further rendering from direct and indirect OpenGL clients until the server is ungrabbed. Regarding XGrabServer blocking GLX calls, yes, this is a known issue in our driver as well. In general, it is a good rule of thumb to grab the server only as long as necessary anyway. You should only need the grab around the actual copy operations, not the GLX calls.
As to the double buffering issue, there should be no problems with XRender reading from double buffered GLX pixmaps or windows. I would ensure all your gl read operations are set to the front buffer with glReadBuffer(GL_FRONT) as well as all your drawing operations.
NVIDIA drivers should work fine with xorg 7.1 with the following exceptions:
-You'll need to disable RenderAccel, as the glyph ABI change broke our acceleration:
Option "RenderAccel" "False"
-You'll need to start X with the ignoreABI option to get the server and driver to play nice with eachother:
startx -- -ignoreABI
-James
Not sure what the catch is, though, or if --ignoreABI could also work with fglrx... I'll have to look into this.

Hi Pavan,
I could open it in build 3518 (newest build is 3718). Just go to File, Open.. and choose the pull-down to filter for RTFs. I got one continuous and one discreet SB. Is that correct?

Satellite P500-12D - Can I use the nVidia drivers?

The Latest NVIDIA Drivers on the Toshiba update website are 8.15.11.8642 but there are newer versions on the NVIDIA website. I would like ot update the NVIDIA Drivers but I am having difficalties.
I tried to install version 195.62 (Win7 64bit) for the Geforce 200M Series fron the NVIDIA SITE but the install doesn't complete. I get the message: "The NVIDIA Setup program could not locate any drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. Setup will now exit."
Does Toshiba only allow their own versions of the drivers? Is there a way to allow the NVIDIA drivers to istall?

Hi
Counter question: Why you want to use other display drivers? Are you not satisfied with the Toshiba drivers or can you notice any problems in Windows?
Theoretically its possible to use the drivers from nVidia directly but dont forget that they are not pretested on your notebook. Your graphic card could be overheating and so you will loose the warranty.
Satellite P500 is pretty new so I assume Toshiba will update the display driver in next time too. Just have a look on the page from time to time. ;)

Black preview in PE 10 using recent nVidia drivers

Premier Elements 10 was working fine. Then I upgraded my nVidia drivers and after that the preview displayed only black video (audio was fine). Windows 7 and Quicktime are all up to date. Problem exists with all video file types to which I have access. I even downloaded some extra popular free codec packs, and still no workie. So I reverted back to nVidia driver 320.49, and the video preview came back again. This is not an unknown issue: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675?tstart=0
I want to upgrade my video driver so I can use Shadowplay. First, has the above issue ever been resolved? Second, if not, can anyone speak to whether I'm going to have the same problem in the latest version of Premier Elements? I'm not sure I'm keen on the idea of forking over to Adobe another $100+ to resolve an issue that I consider an Adobe bug. If I'm forced to buy another product, perhaps I'll go with a different vendor. Any recommendations?

There is no fix to the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA video card issue other than roll back of the driver version to as far back as to when you no longer get the display issue. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has stepped forward to correct the problem.
This issue presents as specific for the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA users. We have not seen reports of this type of thing in any other version to date.
If you wish to continue with Premiere Elements 12, please go the free 30 day try out route before purchase.
The above is the situation as I believe it to exist to date.

BlackBerry phone to be used in a country with a different SIM card

Hello Everyone
I have got a BB phone which was purchased through o2 retailer (english mobile operator) in the United Kingdom as I lived there for a long time. I am back in Italy where I hoped to continue and use it by simply inserting an italian SIM card. I tested few SIM cards of friends and went to an italian retailer (Vodafone which is also known in UK) but apparently my BB doesn't recognize the new SIMs becuase it is probably clocked by o2... Does anyone know whether it can be fixed somehow? Or do I have to go back to o2? Or what are the possibilities.
Thank you all very much for your help.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
There's nothing to add to your BB per se. Using the BB-specific services is a matter of your carrier providing those to you. And there are some things that must happen for them to do so.
Any BB can be used on any carrier that runs the same radio frequencies that the BB is capable of (and I've no idea if your's are such). But, to bring a BB onto a carrier network that they did not sell to you, there are several hurdles to cross:
1) The carrier must say "yes" to the fact...they own their network and have every right to say what devices will be allowed to connect to it. If they say "no", then that's the end of it.
2) You must be sure that your BB is properly unlocked from it's originally manufactured-for carrier...see this helpful thread for details:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/General-BlackBerry-Functions-and/Unlocking-your-BlackBerry-Gu...
3) You must get all of your voice level services functioning on the carrier, before you even try anything about data
4) You must subscribe, from the carrier, to an adequate data plan to enable the BB-proprietary services you desire
5a) If the carrier directly supports your specific model BB, then you can proceed with registering the BB onto their network, generating the proper Service Book delivery to your BB, and proceeding to function.
5b) But, if the carrier does not directly support your specific model number of BB, then the challenges are much greater as most carrier systems will not deliver, to the BB, the necessary service books to enable the BB-proprietary data services, even if you do subscribe to them.
So, depending on all of that, your BB may or may not ever fully function on that carrier network. It can be quite tricky to accomplish, especially if 5b applies. So take a look at all of that and decide how you wish to proceed. Most folks wind up just buying a new BB if 5b applies.
Good luck and let us know!

If i buy a sim-free iphone 5s in America, can i use it in China with a Chinese sim card?

i've bought a sim-free iphone 5s in apple store in America but i am worried that i cannot use it with a Chinese sim card. Can someone help me?
Thank you very much!

The iPhone is sold as "unlocked and contract-free" when purchasing that option from the Apple Store, though Apple's verbiage is using "unlocked" and "SIM-free" rather interchangeably:
The unlocked iPhone includes all the features of iPhone but without a wireless contract commitment. You can activate and use the unlocked iPhone on the supported GSM wireless network of your choice, such as AT&T or T-Mobile in the United States. The unlocked iPhone will not work with CDMA-based carriers, including Sprint and Verizon Wireless.
If you don’t want a multiyear service contract, or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone is the best choice. If you choose T-Mobile, your iPhone comes with a T-Mobile SIM card already installed. You will need to contact T-Mobile or visit an Apple Retail Store to activate your iPhone.
Otherwise, the unlocked iPhone does not come with a micro-SIM card for iPhone 4s, or a nano-SIM card for iPhone 5c or iPhone 5s so you’ll need to get one from any supported GSM carrier worldwide. To start using your iPhone, simply insert the SIM card into the slot and turn on iPhone by pressing and holding the On/Off button for a few seconds. Then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your iPhone.
Purchasing an unlocked iPhone means you will not qualify for the lower iPhone price associated with a contract. The unlocked iPhone 5c model is A1532 (GSM). The unlocked iPhone 5s model is A1533 (GSM).
To help decide whether the locked or unlocked option is right for you, compare wireless service plans. Or call our iPhone Specialists at 1-800-MY-APPLE.
Be aware that if you purchase an iPhone in the US, that will be the only place you will get support from Apple should you need it. You will not get any support for a US-sold iPhone in China.

I brought my iphone in Thainland. Can I use it in Paris with a Paris sim card company?

I brought my iphone in Thainland. I"ll be going to Paris, France, next week and I would love have a phone with internet capablility.
Can I use my Iphone from Thialand in Paris with a Paris sim card company?

See above From what I can see the Thai carriers lock their iPhones and do not unlock
If it came from direct from Apple in Thailand then it should be unlocked
Borrow a sim from a different carrier to yours and see if it gives service

If i bought an unlocked iphone 5s in the us would i be able to use it in portugal with a vodafone sim card?

i want to buy the iphone 5s and i just want to make sure i can use it in portugal with my vodafone sim card

The LTE/4G bands will be different, the warranty is only valid in the country of purchase (Apple will not accept shipment from outside the country) and by the time you pay the taxes and import duties it may end up costing the same as in Portugal.

Use a japanese iphone with a european sim card?

Hello,
My question is: Is it possible to use an iphone purchased in Japan (with a japanese sim card) in Europe with a european Sim card. I know it has to be unlocked but that's not a problem. My concern is the Sim card.
Thank you for your help.

Japanese carriers do not unlock iPhones at all nor are unlocked iPhones sold in Japan.
I believe that Apple started selling unlocked phones directly sometime last year.

Can i use my android phone with app store gift card

can i use my android phone with app store gift card

Not with a gift card for the iTunes Store, anyway. Apps from the iTunes Store are for Apple's devices only. If you have a gift card for Google's app store, that would be a different matter.

How do I use Downloadthemall add-on with new edition of Firefox?

I installed the new edition of Firefox, but now am unable to use Downloadthemall application. Please advise.

Does the rest of the extensions list look accurate, and are the enabled/disabled groups correct? I wonder whether your extensions database has become corrupted. In the past, I have seen instructions to rename or delete certain files in your Firefox profile (settings) folder, but rather than copy and paste here, I think it's better to wait for someone more familiar with this area.
