u can dl them at http://www.ulimit.com/tb.php?host=ww...on-drivers.com
load bias is there, as in the 67.02 and 03, and they seems pretty good. Try them and post your results please . This driver are the latest one.

Load bias? What is that?

(or is it just another [wrong] way of writing "LOD bias"? In that case you can ignore this post)

Hmm still playing around with the 70.90's I'll put up some benchmarks when I can not today too busy...

remember that this is a BETA driver. Try another driver set. I usually start with the officials (66.93) then try betas after that.

Unemuzerexer · Dec 22, 2004, 03:38 AM

Yeah i did that, using 70.90 now, no freezes, but it shutters, like it freezes for 0.5 sec, then works for 3 sec, then again, quite innoying.

baroudan · Dec 22, 2004, 11:18 AM

i really don't know why you have problems with drivers: i try them ALL , modded or official,since 66... and i never get a BSOD, never, or any reboot problem, really nothing, so i think iit's because the driver wasn't completely removed, use driver cleaner in safe mode, as usual . My best driver for the moment is 71.20, good iq and very fast.

MiDKnYtE · Dec 22, 2004, 12:37 PM

the newer drivers are more 6600/6800 oriented. the older FX cards would probably see more problems.

Unemuzerexer · Dec 22, 2004, 11:31 PM

yeah, they dont agree with my fx 5600, tho the 56.75 work nicely on them

baroudan · Dec 23, 2004, 11:11 AM

you' r right, i have seen a petition from FX users to nvidia, because they don't worry about FX owner since the newest gpu are out, that is a bad mistake from nvidia. My wife has a 5900, an a lot of problems with driver; i put the 66.81 on her pc, and they are working great, but newer don't go so well

hgh3 · Dec 25, 2004, 12:25 PM

I am running 71.20 now w/ rivatuner and everything is fine. with the 70.90's I had the stuttering problem, read in a Lineage 2 forum that it was a glitch in the way the driver was reloading new maps from memory-fixed in latest beta.
I'm aware that i didn't say that correctly from a technical standpoint, but I hope you understood.

b0ris84 · Dec 25, 2004, 04:22 PM

i been using the 71.20's for some time now no problems or nothing and i'm trying out the pure video thing with my 6800 and its running well but i'm wondering does 71.20 have purevideo support or wutever because on the nvidia website the 67.03 beta's actually say they enable it

Has anybody tried the Display Optimization Wizard under Tools?
Is it working properly for you?
In my system, I end up with a darker display than what Adobe's Gamma or my colorimeter gives.
Any idea why that might be?
Thanks.

b0ris84 · Dec 27, 2004, 08:42 PM

display optimization works just fine no problems just wondering about pure video

roocoon · Dec 27, 2004, 09:40 PM

Thanks for the response.
It works but is the display what is supposed to be?
After you set it up, say for 6500K and gamma of 2.2, what happens if you try Adobe's Gamma applet (or any other program you might have) using the same parameters?
If the NVidia settings are correct, and assuming Adobe's are also, there shouldn't be any need for further adjustments with Adobe.
Is that the case?
Thanks again.

b0ris84 · Dec 28, 2004, 12:35 AM

i don't know what you mean by adobe i don't use it prolly

roocoon · Dec 28, 2004, 09:10 AM

Adobe Gamma is an applet (it can be found in the Control Panel and by default it also appears in the StartUp group) installed with Adobe Photoshop. If you don't use Photoshop, you don't have it either.
In any case, it gives you 3 boxes (for Red, Green and Blue). Each box contains a smaller box with the same color but with different lightness. You match the pairs of boxes using program controls and once done, the applet stores in the graphics card LUT table, a profile that adjusts the RGB guns so the display is what is supposed to be.
This is what the NVidia wizard does too.
Unless you use some other color management software, you can't compare the NVidia wizard settings with anything else.

baroudan · Dec 29, 2004, 04:40 PM

you can also use quick monitor profile, who creates a icc profile to add in coloroptions , just google it , don't have the link ,if you're interest; i found it great for color adjustments, better than nvidia's one

roocoon · Dec 29, 2004, 04:50 PM

Thanks.
I don't actually need an ICC profile generator. I have a colorimeter and a bunch of programs to create one that's better than NVidia's.
I'm just curious why is the NVidia so different from Adobe and the others.
I'd think they'd know their chips better than anybody and be able to create a correct profile.
