Found these over at Fujitsu-Siemens.
They are a Hybrid set, so include the Intel Integrated GPU driver as well.
So for those with dual GPU Notebooks you'll be in heaven

Download:

Modded inf is included into the package.

Original INF only supports:

Code:

[DEV_0628&SUBSYS_11381734] NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS
[DEV_0628&SUBSYS_22D71019] NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GTS
[DEV_0649&SUBSYS_11351734] NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
[DEV_0649&SUBSYS_11481734] NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
[DEV_0649&SUBSYS_22D51019] NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
[DEV_0649&SUBSYS_2F1D1509] NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT
[DEV_0652&SUBSYS_11711734] NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M
[DEV_0652&SUBSYS_300B1509] NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M

Thanks, proliferazor!

I'm not sure whether this is a good sign or not, but this driver doesn't include the typical PhysX software...

I use 185.20's and get smoothness with my 295.
Anyone made a modded .inf for this driver yet?
I 'm trying just by guessing what to replace lol.

Thanks for sharing this.

Same here.

One will show up eventually.
I really want to use these drivers
since the 185.20's work well with
my system.

Here's a link to the driver with the appropriate modded files (done by mobilenvidia not me).
Works fine on my system. Would recommend uninstalling other drivers first and running Driver Sweeper too.

is there Ambient Occlusion in the driver?

burebista · 03-10-2009, 11:15 | posts: 878 | Location: Romania | User is Offline

Yep.

I'm using custom profile 4way afr, flags 22 25, hex value 2400005, and splinter cell aa compatibility.

when I use 4way AFR, the game goes all flashy.

Did not do anything for me :S (also running a gtx295). Just my luck, thank the lord I have my backup rig

New drivers now Nvidia, please! :0)

Anybody test the ambient occlusion yet?

If anybody with Left 4 Dead could take a screenshot in this area with ambient occlusion set on high with this driver, I would appreciate it.

I want to see if they made any tweaks to the AO algorithm. I remember reading a document on NVIDIA's implementation of AO which was presented at SIGGRAPH, I believe. I think it was published after the 185.20 drivers leaked.

Is anyone running these on Win7 x64?

Yes, for me in windows 7 x64 7048 blue screen and my cards in SLI run very much hotter (almost 15ºC more)

I'm somewhat on the wall about these so far; I realize they're beta, but first impressions aren't good. Lost about 200 points average in vantage over three runs, got first BSOD (code 116) that I've seen in many months and after restarting (after fresh install), for whatever reason, the Vista login screen was reduced in resolution by about 1/3 and clipped to the upper-left side of my screen, though the mouse wasn't clipped to this region and everything functioned fine (interface-wise) after logging on it's still strange enough to bear mention.

I've yet to try real world gaming performance, but like I said - the first impression ain't great and whatever improvements they've made to AO (if any) probably aren't worth the added instability. I'm eager to see if Emp: Total War SLI is working with these. Will probably revert to 181.22 and continue to use those for Empire until the next WHQL or good betas are available.

Ao is very buggy.It does not work corectly in L4D .The shadows are flickering.

Heh, no offense intended, but I got a chuckle over that one. If you were "on the wall" there's only one way you could fall. "On the fence," I'm sure that's what you meant.
