Yeah I don't mind having Guru3d download links put up as they do come in handy sometimes but can we please leave the original Nvidia Links or other URL's of the files when the driver is posted.

Case in point..I don't even see these on Nvidia's site as a beta so I would have loved to have seen the original URL.

I hope something stable and consistent comes out for the 680. I am still getting some weird hiccups with the .25 beta. I might try these.. but not sure.

[RoadKillNL]

Was there something broken in 301.24?

[alanm]

I think these are developer drivers.

So are these, in effect, more alpha than beta drivers? The file size is smaller than the usual 200 MB*** for the International v30x.xx drivers I've been downloading and installing too so I'm guessing these are just US English?

(I prefer to use International ones only as I typically install over previous drivers and haven't had any problems doing that as long as I don't mix International/US English driver sets)

Man you have a deep contact with nVidia since they made you a customized 200 GB driver? Me wants too.

Ontopic, I'll try them when I'm at home. Thanks OP.

Hi,

thanks for these, but they look older.. I've been following r300 branch and this is what's up

300.89: r300_68-13
300.99: r300_95-2

301.10: r300_68-51

301.24: r301_07-12
301.25: r301_07-14

301.32: r300_00-124



Idk if im gonna stay on these for long, because both r300_xx (300.89 and 300.99) caused TDR and I never had that before, ever.

Luckily you have Vista/Windows 7, else you will just be BSOD-ing

What is TDR? Windows Vista has a new feature called Timeout Detection and Recovery (TDR).
TDR attempts to detect problematic situations and recover to a functional desktop dynamically.
In prior operating systems these situations would have resulted in a system freeze and forced customers to reboot their PC.

http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=65161

Common issues that can cause a TDR:

Incorrect memory timings or voltages
Insufficient/problematic PSU
Corrupt driver install
Overheating
Unstable overclocks (GPU or CPU)
Incorrect MB voltages (generally NB/SB)
Faulty graphics card
A badly written driver or piece of software, but this is an unlikely cause in most cases
Driver conflicts
Another possibility that people tend not to like to hear, is that you are simply asking too much of your graphics card.

What I mean by this, is that if you have your settings too high and the graphics card struggles and falls to very low FPS, then something graphically complex occurs, the GPU may not be able to respond and a TDR error may occur

[yosef019]

this drivers for developers that mess with cuda staff

[LesserHellspawn]

These are indeed english only. Will skip them.

[TechFreaK]

^
No they are international, otherwise they wouldn't have both files

[Spets]

IIRC Dev/Quadro/Tesla drivers are always international.

[Darren Hodgson]

Is there any reason to install these considering the other v30x.xx drivers are using CUDA v4.2.1? If these are older then I don't see any point in installing them unless they have fixes that haven't been included in the other drivers (such as for Bully Scholarship Edition's black texture bug).

yeah i know about TDR and i never had it before with any 28x.xx - 290.xx.. Only these two 300.89, 300.99 caused it, both times at desktop (nothing flash related).
Imo that's why there were never meant for public (other gpus)..301.10 were fixed but felt sluggish, 301.2x are ok.



Anyway I tested Resident Evil5 (fixed benchmark) and they ran slower compared to 301.25 with fps drops by loading new areas..

I reverted back to 301.25


Btw, these have Nview.

[RoadKillNL]

Havn't had TDR issue anymore since 290 Betas.
