Opson :


It is good I understood, obliterates the reglages of the motor source (bases register) next install the spirit fury + nv3x + source engine and next reboot and the it is good well on it does not be necessary him to be another to drive, it is necessary install the spirit fury when windows detect compatible just vga

I do not know if you do it deliberately but all the persons that have a fx have not your problem...

I have a FX5900, and i have those problems too, see my previous post with the ingame picture of CS 1.6, and those drivers were installed on a fresh windows install, so it can't be a conflict with older drivers or something like that

If this cannot etre that a conflict to drive, to forces to put several different drives... the register basis keeps the keys in memory, more there has keys more will have you your lowered perfomances

NV4x = 6800/6600 possible 5950/5900/5700
NV3x = 5950/5900/5700/5600/5500/5200/
NV2x = Geforce 3 and 4
NV1x = Geforce 4mx , all cards geforce 2 etc...

which path do you use?

I'm asking this, cause i'm going to reinstall windows again and this time i want the path you use installed, without other path's or drivers installed before.

Maybe then it will work properly

Ok Knyz nice driver set you've put out I must say, I ran some benchmarks and they perform pretty nicely but there is an IQ problem however it doesn't appear to be limited to your driver set, explain more after the Benchmarks....
HL2 3 runs Anandtech canals demo 57.80fps with avg variability 5.20


As far as the IQ thing goes, I've seen this on this driver set, your set based on the 67.02's and the reference 67.02's. Strange water reflection pixelation as shown below....


Is that a "feature" of the 6800's or something in the drivers as I'm seeing it on numerous driver releases...Anyways this driver release is very nice, although I do see more white lines with these drivers than your 67.02 based set but less than the 67.20 based set... as for now I'm gonna stick with the 67.02 set and eagerly await your next release thanks for the hard work knyz!

I have a 6800 GT and I see the water reflection without glitches. Maybe the problem appears only on some systems...

I have a GeForce FX 5700 Go and am interested in these drivers. Would it be ok if I just used the 5700 drivers or do you have any plans on adding support for NVidia laptop cards?

Good I inform you to all, I will do a new version with enormously of optimisation

she will be composed of 3 of the better ones to drive known nvidia a version for the performances of the
geforces fx a version for performances 6800 and another version for the remainder of the nvidia

the drives will be based on

7x.xx 6x.xx/5x.xx 4x.xx

there will have well a choice of 3INSTALLATION to drive, it will do a lot of mo that I can say it for you, between 50mo/60mo

I want only a response that you gene this size?? well on I would do more pushed tests... and finalizes even has to obtain the best possible performances..

The fp16 will be activated on the fx the sm 3.0 on the geforce 6800 (the 67.02 have not the possibility I noticed myself to the delay etc... )

I awaits the response of nvidia to a question that I their is put if this is possitif, my version will be based on again to drive nvidia, if it is negative this will be on 3 versions

I look forward to these new drivers you're bringing out knyz, will they fix the pixelation of the water reflections in HL2?

Thanks again
