NVIDIA 258.96 is out!

Use the people that has profile issue, SLI and or PhysX?

Or do also the people with 1 Card has this problem?

 

Another good news would be that Nvidia seems to take it serious and they left in GPU, Video Engine and Memory Controller Load for non G200 series cards in the Desktop as well as Quadro Driver

 

true, true. no complaints about it in my rig either.

 

bahhhhhhhhhh....the controll panel doesnt save my game profiles, it doesnt even save the glaobal settings..everytime i reopen the panel the settings are back to standart
what the hell is wrong with it...

i dont get it...

 

Try doing a complete uninstall and driver sweeping before installation. That fixed my settings not sticking problem.

 

i allready tried that..or lets say i allways do this..this is a very very clean install, i used ccleaner, used driver sweeper in safe mode and on and on...and i installed the driver now for the seventh time

 

beta when i go into safe mode before i do ds i go to hidden program data n manually delete 2 folders there , all my profiles have worked with every set both geforce n quadro maybe try that

im on w7 x64 as well

 

i did this to..i tried everything i found here what peoples suggest to do...

you mean those nvidia coorparation folders etc etc...

 

yes dont understand why it does this for you and others i run same process as you with ds n ccleaner

i never use nhancer or anything else like that neither

 

BetA13 - I've done those suggestions too and install the same way you do, nothing has worked for me. The best it gets is allowing me to save 2 or sometimes 3 profiles only.

 

Hi, same problem with the profiles. Did the same clean install, deleted all the nvidia folders. What i did manage was initially add my games and make the changes. I then used the Profile Export tool to export the profiles. So I have a "working" copy of my profiles. All I do is import them, the control panel is still a mess, I cannot make any changes, and it will even crash when adding a game that is not listed, but my games that i did manage to customise do seem to be working or at least I think they are. Games seem to be running far better than previous drivers, but this could be because most of the settings are not being applied correclty.

 

If on Win7 go to C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA\ and create an empty file called NvStarted .

Maybe that solve the disappearing profiles.

EDIT: You have maybe to do a reboot after that

 

With 257.21 I got "Quake Wars: Enemy Territories" in the game list, with Kombustor icon (Kombustor is MSI 'FurMark' type app), tells little how scr*wed up things are.

Never owned or installed QW: ET, and ofcourse after uninstalling Kombustor, that item disappeared from the list, tells little how scr*wed up things are. :banana:

 

IIRC furmark (the tool kombustor is based on) uses the ET:QW profile to avoid the limitations put in ploace by AMD and nvidia to stop it from overheating and destroying their highest-end graphics cards with the amount of heat it makes them produce. thats why it shows up as that in your profiles list, it isnt a problem with the driver in the slightest.

 

Alright.

 

good drivers EXCEPT the same fallout 3 frame skipping/stuttering bug is still there (Disabling water reflections cure the problem). Whats the problem Nvidia!

 

Not to sound like an *ssh*le but i'm glad other people have the same issue with the 3d settings not sticking when configuring the profiles. I've tried to copy the nvstarted file but the problem is still there. It's strange how some people have no issues and other peolpe have. Maybe a Win7 x64 issue only? Lets hope for a bug fix in the next driver since this issue is present from 257.21 and on....for now this drivers are going down the....:grab:

 

Just click on restore default settings. If that doesn't work you can use Nvidia Inspector...

 

I just grabbed them and my 9800gtx+ is runnin at 100C full load...temperatures are crazy!!! oh maaan

 

8800GT, win7 32bit, i have some PC stability problem with those, comp still works and mouse but nothing else, sometimes on regular use...
