Flawless install:
Uninstalled all drivers Rebooted once Ran driver sweeper by guru3d (no installer) rebooted into safe mode Ran driver sweeper by guru3d (no installer) search inf directory for nvidia display within files rebooted installed 15.23 rebooted installed 180.42 rebooted Reinstalled DirectX Aug2008 Offline Package Adjust image settings with preview: Manage 3d settings (my config) Anisotropic Filtering - 16x Anti-Aliasing Gamma Correction - On Anti-Aliasing Mode - "Enhance the application setting" (Seen major performance drops in games when using "override any application setting"). Anti-Aliasing - 4x Anti-Aliasing Transparency - Super-Sampling Multi Display/Mixed GPU Configuration - Single Display Performance Mode Threaded Optimization - Auto Triple Buffering - On V-Sync - Always Off (I always get horrible frames when I use v-sync so i force it off, on all of my games) All the rest of the global settings are the default 180.42 driver settings. Is there anythingelse I can do to get better image quality? I can also confirm 180.42 restores digital vibrance. |
