I have been using the Xtreme-G 83.60 for about a week or so now and both the IQ and frame rates are great. significant improvement over the stock 81.98 I may have to check out these Zeropoints and see how they compare.

In the nVidia Control Panel, click on "Screen Resolutions and Refresh Rates". Then, click on "Add" under "Custom Resolutions and Refresh Rates" (or something like that). Accept the license agreement or whatever it is that pops up and plug in the resolution/refresh rate you want and click "Add" and you should now have the particular option.
Hope this helps,

Should be available through the Screen Resolutions and Refresh Rates section on the control panel I hope it worked out for you. Any feedback is appreciated.

That's really weird. Have you tried other programs like RivaTuner or RefreshForce?
Let me know if those work,

What do you mean, JohnnyNguy3n? Sensitivity feel? I was just suggesting those two programs to add custom resolution settings... Sorry if I'm misunderstanding here...

djustice is on a distinguished road

a couple of questions:

- i noticed a folder in dhzeropoint install folder called : ColorBoost, is this autoinstalled while installing the displaydriver or is it something you can choose to install after?

- as for the HL2 Autoexec file: is it included in the driver package? i can't seem to find it

The ColorBoost thing is auto-installed. Don't worry about it.
As far as I know, this set didn't come with any autoexec files for games, sorry.

if i use the refresh rate o/c from nvidia and play like counter-strike my sensensitivity is default from like windows or is the same. When I use those programs and play the game the default sensitivity is too fast.

Sensitivity, mouse sensitivity?

Glad you liked them djustice, the colorboost is a quick vb script that runs at startup, adjusting your color setting for optimal image quality. When you uninstall the DHzer0point drivers it goes away. the script executes and then is gone taking no memory space or processor time after bootup, just makes some sdjustemnts and closes.

awsome! Simply awsome...

I've been having trouble getting this crappy 9550 to run anything over 30fps.

These drivers are giving me a boost that No other driver has been able to come close to.

Cool thing about it, I actually have head room for eye candy. I've been running GW will maxed Q and 2x anti and 4x Anio. (have to run minimum of 4x anio otherwise you get odd little jitters in the textures.)


Right on! Thx for the awsome drivers guys! Now i can wait a little longer to buy that next card... (Waiting for the 6800GS AGP to come down out of the 200 range )
