oc test:

66.72: 420/1130
66.93: 427/1130

as i recall, 66.81 was even worse at oc'ing than 66.72...

MiDKnYtE · Nov 9, 2004, 08:06 PM

Nice OC. Hopefully, I can gain a few more mhz too.

Did anyone bench these yet? It's gonna be a while before I can go home to test 'em.

All i did is ran 3d mark03 once to check it out.. With 66.81 beta ones i got 6866 with my PCX 5900, then with the 66.93 i got 6847... so lost about 20 points. Dunno.. But some of my other problems have been fixed. Plus when I looked at the details of my system in 3dmark03 it says my WHQL certification is false... I dunno why... Any help?

dsdsdk · Nov 9, 2004, 09:09 PM

66.93 has odd performance when viewing xvid compressed file.

Fudoki · Nov 9, 2004, 09:47 PM

Are they WHQL? They said so on the site but using the details on 3dMark03 it says thatDriver WHQL Certified false. .... Anyone know why?

MiDKnYtE · Nov 9, 2004, 10:18 PM

did you completely remove the old drivers with driver cleaner first?

Shike · Nov 9, 2004, 10:22 PM

Well, did anyone notice any difference in WMV performance? I ran step into liquid demo and it still has CPU hits of 100% with Windows Media Player...

Fudoki · Nov 9, 2004, 10:25 PM

no i didn't use driver cleaner i used a diffrent uninstaller program. Its really good.

Use the Driver Cleaner, it removes all linked keys that some uninstallers don't get (Ace Ultilities, System Mechanic, ect). If you don't use the Driver Cleaner you are asking for problems...

Damn they snuck these out on me I'll try and get some benchies tonight....

Nacht · Nov 10, 2004, 04:25 AM

wonder when we can expect omega's?

Fudoki · Nov 10, 2004, 04:45 AM

Ok well i tried the Driver cleaner on this site and It didn't change the WHQL false thing... Anyone else get this? Does it matter my card is an Asus Card?

Probably, Asus always goes outside the Nvidia spec when making their cards, see if Asus has WHQL drivers up....

I only did 2 benches yesterday;

3D 2005 66.81 420/1200 - 5300
3D 2005 66.93 420/1200 - 5150
3D 2003 66.81 430/1250 - 13000
3D 2003 66.93 420/1250 - 12600

Ballony!

While its true that asus doesnt allways follow the Nvidia design, it has nothing to do with WHQL!

Wiredzero · Nov 11, 2004, 12:00 PM

Wonder how long it'll take before Omega gets around to doing a set of his tweaked version of these...(since he'll only do ones that're posted up on nVidia's site...which THESE are.)

hanskra · Nov 11, 2004, 01:59 PM

Got MCE 2005 incompatibility with 66.93 running a P25-S676 with NV FX GO5700. I did NOT use the driver remover though. Could that change everything?

Does anyone know if 66.93 SHOULD be compatible with nVidia FX GO5700 in theory?

Thanks in advance. Hans

AFAIK, you have to get NV Go drivers from your manufacturers website (i.e. acer, alienware, toshiba, etc etc). These are special cards and the normal drivers do not have the instruction sets required in them. It has to do with the power saving options and all of that. It's all on NV's website if you have any questions.
