GeForce/ION 191.07 WHQL Released

This driver crashes Battlefield 2 with the 1.50 patch, as soon as the game starts it crashes to desktop. Went back to the 182.50's any feedback on a better driver would be appreciated.

 

I gave up on the 191/190 series for now, and am using 186.18 whql which restores normal smoothness in my games. (182.50 was good too but it's missing the big improvement for Mirror's Edge.) So unless nvidia gets their act together in 192+, this is my final driver until a new game requires later. lol

 

installation problems ???

I have used the driver cleaning tool at guru3d, cleaned the system, then tried to install the 191.07 drivers, the install starts and runs fine until around 17-20% then it hangs there, however the system is not hung, I can tab out and cancel the process... anyone else having issues with the install process ?

 

Decompress the driver, move the PhysX and 3DVision installers from the driver folder and run the setup.exe in order to install the driver.

 

Don't think it's the driver, been playing BF2 for two days now, don't see anything abnormal. Smooth and fast 0n the 191.07's.

 

I don't get any crashs either however i get the odd lag and strange texture shimmer in front of my feet when walking. This IS driver related as it only happens with 190 and up!

Seems to be sporadic though not everyone gets it

What about it? , that's my thread yes :3eyes:

 

The Nvidia Display Driver Service service has reported an invalid current state 32"

... First thing i get ... in event log after installing 191.07@win7 x64 ... after a while i got nvlddmkm errors in Batman , too... (never had such an issue with vista...)
Does anybody have the same problem@windows seven?

These drivers are horrible with my 9500gt , back to the 190.38

 

You mean especially GTA 4 too?

 

Well I just meant one I have that got a big boost after the 182 series ("with AA enabled" tho -heh).

 

CPU bottleneck ...

QUOTE=rl66;3301160]CPU bottleneck is much more a commercial argument to sell material (as the consomation of GPU to sell expensive PSU).

in theory it exist... but in reality it is less evident a bit like the difference beween 2 HD one in SATA and one in SATA2... lol :biggun:

Anyway i have instaled 191.07 on 3 computer 2 have random freeze... i go back to 190.62 buggy but not freezing ^^[/QUOTE]


Horsehocky on your "theory". It exists and is verifiable... Speak from facts and not opinion.

Thank you.

 

I was not singling out his computer, merely stating that a lot of folks are having this "Crashing" problem with the BF2 1.50 patch, their patch history is really poor IMHO. Just Google it and you'll see what I mean.

As for your issue, I don't see any of that here on my PC. Are you running a modified config, third party app or forcing something in your CP? I found AF was the biggest offender for that kind of shimmering problem.

 

no , no and more no's

Try the stuttering thread , last reply it's not just me

 

Read the stuttering thread, I see quotes from ~ a dozen peeps and only two or three replying to that thread. If it where a wide spread problem I would expect there would be hundreds of reply's. I think it's a configuration problem, or possibly the video BIOS or memory conflicts causing the programs to go to page file.

I hope you get it sorted. GL

 

I do aswell! , only happens with 190 and up :bang::bang:

Using 186.94 now , perfectly :banana:

 

I found the 186.94's to be excellent drivers as well. I would stay with them until this gets sorted.

 

Pretty much all the drivers 179 , 185 , 186 worked great... I'd love to know what changed in the 190/191's for some/most people to have these strange affects in certain games.

 

I'm not a programmer, that being said it usually results from nVidia tightening up memory timings. Some cards may have trouble with this. I remember a thread here that reported that updating the video card BIOS sometimes helped.

Anyway, GL to you. I hope you get it resolved.
