Forceware and Ge7600GTS
« on: November 09, 2006, 11:36:53 AM »
A "GTS" is a GS bios and GS card factory-clocked at GT speeds. It lists as a GS but performs like a GT.

Anyways, I stuck with the default drivers for a little while (88-somethings) but tried the recent drivers for a bit (91.47). These drivers I got off the eVGA website, as that's the brand of card I have.

Anyways, for 91.47 it works. It's not perfect, though. Every "dot" on the radar map is actually twice as wide as it is long. That is to say it's not square, it's rectangular. This includes when it is highlighted due to vox (it becomes a larger rectangle).

There are probably other bugs as well. However it seems to work in all games pretty well. I'm going to test 93.71 next

I'm using the 91.47 on a 7600GT without this trouble,I think it's more a parameter than a driver version trouble

I'm not sure. I don't think my settings could cause a square to go rectangle. Here is what I have:

FSAA: 8xS
Aniso: app-controled
Image settings: high quality
v-sync: app-controled
Conformant tex clamp: on
gamma correct antialiasing: on
transparency anitaliasing: multisampling
negative LOD bias: allow

My settings :

FSAA: 2x
Aniso: app-controled
Image settings: quality
v-sync: ON
Conformant tex clamp: on
gamma correct antialiasing: on
transparency antialiasing: not activated
negative LOD bias: allow

I'll try with your settings

it's because of the FSAA 8S, the problem doesn't exist in FSAA 4X

Hum... strange! You're right, of course.

P.S. Also, 93.71 seems to run fine, with no problems. Seeing as they're WHQL (not that this MEANS much!) I'll keep them for a while.
