GTX 280/260 teaser drivers - Page 20

OzzmanFloyd120 · 07-16-2008, 06:33 AM

WTF?! Where did your GX2 go?

psyko12 · 07-16-2008, 06:33 AM

Yup wolf posted that on a different thread, and it also doesn't need modded infs coz it had already modded ones or sthing like that... From what I've read from different forums, most of em encounter artifacts with Crysis while using the stealth mode, and others gained more points on vantage and 06, also others reported to have gained boosts in Grid. That's from what I've read around guru3d and some random googling.

Cold Storm · 07-16-2008, 06:35 AM

Well don't have my Gx2 anymore... so I have to wait a week to try it out! grrrrr! lol.. wolf, why didin't you tell us in the thread! lol

The Gx2 went to the Step-up program.. Have my GTX come next week if not Friday

OzzmanFloyd120 · 07-16-2008, 06:36 AM

It was wolf2009 that posted that thread actually.
And we should all have a moment of silence for the departed GX2

Cold Storm · 07-16-2008, 06:40 AM

As long as you get rid of the bug that they leave behind because of the one free download thing, it should run.

I left my copy installed and typed in my GMail address (my Yahoo address got the first shot)...had no issues for run #2.

Yeah, there's Wolf and then wolf2009. I thought they were the same person for a while.

Cold Storm · 07-16-2008, 11:16 AM

Kursah... That's good that you didn't have to any of what I wrote. It wasn't like that for me when it first came out! Lol... Damn future marks.

OZz. Hmmm. I all ways thought there was only one... lol.. well woot woot for the 2009 version!

File_1993 · 07-16-2008, 11:20 AM

There was a thread about these and I tried em out, they already have support for all GPU's, and they are faster than the 177.41, gave me a 110+ point boost in 3D06, I haven't tested any games yet, I was installing my cpu cooler yesterday ( Coolermaster Hyper TX2) and I'm gonna test games today.

pagalms · 07-16-2008, 11:21 AM

Yep, they ar already modded

As i said before, this time i'll make a list of cards these drivers works on. So all of you who installs them, are welcome to tell if they works for you or no.

177.66 Vista64
177.66 Vista32
177.66 XP64
177.66 XP32

Works On:
8800GTS (G80) - Vista, 7 Beta

7600GS - Vista 64
8400GS - Vista 64
9800GTX - XP 32
8800GTS (G92) - XP 32 can be some artifacting problems in Crysis when swithing cloak on/off

DO NOT WANT to work on:
Longcat

psyko12 · 07-16-2008, 11:51 AM

Well, tried it just for the heck of it: 7600GS Vista 64, working, even with riva tuner... Tested on grid, gained a small bit of fps from 41's.

Cold Storm · 07-16-2008, 08:24 PM

Downloading right now and I'll be able to tell you about the 8400gs.. Lmao... God I wish I had my GTX!

Cold Storm · 07-16-2008, 08:58 PM

It works for me

File_1993 · 07-16-2008, 09:19 PM

177.66 artifacts in crysis when switching cloak on and off in crysis xp32 8800gts 512

pagalms · 07-19-2008, 02:08 PM

Weird things happening with these drivers - VGA fan randomly goes up to 100% and then back down to 60%. No, card is not overheating. It happens even when temps are about 55°C and down.
BTW i tried these drivers on Windows 7 Beta and they worked. Also got my 8600GTS back from RMA. They gave me brand new and it has the same issues

- no signal on DVI. So guys be aware of XFX 8600GTS 256MB version wich looks like this:

I quit buying XFX after THREE 7900GTs all had bad memory and two of them were long after they knew about the problem. I told them that they just permanently lost me (and anyone I build for) as a customer. Now, everyone gets an Evga.

I ended up volt modding mine which let me get clocks stable to 645 core and 800 ram (which is pathetic). At stock it would crash even when underclocked.

Cold Storm · 07-19-2008, 02:55 PM

Wow... I can't believe that it even is doing that to you Pag. Damn.... I almost want to tell ya to rma and sell it once you get it back... that blows...

Cold Storm · 07-26-2008, 10:30 PM

UPDATE: 177.72 drivers.

Guru3d has the Vista 32bit drivers of the 177.72 drivers...

Looking now for the rest.

Kursah · 07-26-2008, 10:34 PM

Yeah I saw a post for the .72's, but only could find them for Vista x32...I'm curious as to what they'll bring to the table. Keep a lookin for them Vx64's! I know you can find em!

Cold Storm · 07-26-2008, 10:37 PM

Well from what I have found.. there exclusive vista 32 drivers...

I got it from this source. But it shows of the 177.70 drivers... Still looking.. Pagalms might be able to do a little magic...

newconroer · 07-26-2008, 10:38 PM

Anyone notice if anything but the .41s are causing heat issues with their 280?

Kursah · 07-26-2008, 10:41 PM

I skipped em dude...I did try .35's the other day, ran fine, went back to .66's and haven't had an issue...I'm running my fan on 80% though, so I hit about 44-45C idle and 59-62C load so far. I'm on the 260 tho.

Cold Storm · 07-26-2008, 10:45 PM

Going to try the 177.70 after a driver clean.... Report back in a bit...

My oc'ing with the 280 haven't been the best... I'm thinking that my Gx2 drivers hit it self in the computer... So, use driver cleaner then if it doesn't work... hook up the passport, and do a quick reinstall.

newconroer · 07-26-2008, 10:48 PM

Not sure if your drivers would cause a physical overclock issue Cold. If they were 'borked,' I'd think it would be all or nothing; it works, or it doesn't.

I know that despite oc, my heat is somewhat of an issue no matter the clocks.

Then again it depends on the application.

75% fan
NHL08 it doesn't go over 50c lol!
AoC 65-70
Crysis 80-90

Unfortunatley, noone around here has any EK cover blocks in stock.

I may just have to take it apart and use some Ceramique in the meantime.

I'm on the 260 tho. __________________ Overclocking is Easy!

Report back in a bit... My oc'ing with the 280 haven't been the best... I'm thinking that my Gx2 drivers hit it self in the computer... So, use driver cleaner then if it doesn't work... hook up the passport, and do a quick reinstall. __________________ :Good Morning: Chamillionaire My Project Log

If they were 'borked,' I'd think it would be all or nothing; it works, or it doesn't. I know that despite oc, my heat is somewhat of an issue no matter the clocks. Then again it depends on the application. 75% fan NHL08 it doesn't go over 50c lol! AoC 65-70 Crysis 80-90 Unfortunatley, noone around here has any EK cover blocks in stock. I may just have to take it apart and use some Ceramique in the meantime. __________________ Awsome game I wish i could get it but parent are fags and they dont't let me get M games.
