Title: Nvidia 190.38 drivers
Post by: Fulmar on July 26, 2009, 01:03:43 PM

Anyone else have issues with this new set that came out?  EVGA recommended it for my 8800 GTS 640mb, but after install a few of my games would do a full system crash.  As in black screen, sound looping.  I went back to the tried and true 182.08 set.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I just upgraded from 181.22 to 182.08.   I tend to stray from "new drivers" myself.

Nope. Im using the same driver and it works fine.

How exactly did you install it? Did you have any virus programs or firewalls running too?

the beta had issues and I'm using the latest ones off the nvidia website.  I'll double check the exact version number when i get in but I have had no issues with any  CTD's

Freezes PC after about 15min.  HDD led stays stuck on and all programs freeze, incl task manager showing 99% of CPU activity by System Idle Process.  Mouse cursor intermitently works.

Anyone know what happened to Driver Cleaner?

Just did it again.  HDD LED stays stuck and everything grinds to a stop.  Not a HDD issue, I've just reinstalled windows with nothing fancy on 3 separate drives (1 of which only 3 days old) and reverting to an older driver version (178.2) fixed it.

just updated from 182 to 190.38 and it works fine with AH.

however the AA setting is greyed out as "Application-controlled" in the nvidia cp now, whereas I used to have a big range of settings :confused:

Perhaps Microsoft helped build those drivers? :D

To tell the full story - it worked great in AH, fixed most of the stuttering and raised the frame rate a bit.  But it also crashed the computer like I described.

Loaded 190.38's on my box--runs AHII flawless.

Using AHII's max AA setting--FPS at 59-60.
Using Nvidia's max AA setting--FPS at 80-100.

Graphics are beautiful either way.

They pass by me.

I had problems with the latest drivers with 8800GT too. Roll-back to older drivers fixed a few strange graphical anomalies I had in several games.

Charge I am having a nightmare with my graphics all over the place in AH (see this thread for my dillema:  http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,270784.msg3384217.html#msg3384217 )

What drivers are you using now?
