Im still using 10.5 mainly for the driver as all the other releases cause low FPS in BC2. Hopefully the newest driver is better

News from these are bad. Their drivers are getting worse and worse since 10.5a

I just reinstalled Win 7 on my main rig, and used these drivers.
HDMI output is crystal clear now, wheather that's the drivers or the reinstall of windows I'm not sure. I was using 10.9 IIRC
I'm gonna get BC2 and everything installed later so will see what issues I get.
But the new control panel is lovely, a VAST improvement on the piece of tat that we had before :up:

Have you tried them out gaming yet Lloyd?

I think these newer driver are for the 6xxx owners, since the 10.12 WHQL had some performance drops on particular those cards, while it had a nice boost on 5xxx series cards.

Spoken like a true Nvidia whore who has recently moved to the dark side :thumbdown:

The initial bad press may because they have released I think 2 hotfixes since the 16th December on this particular driver.

Lol Mark :D
had a bit of a game tonight but only really half hour at a time, had no issues at all :up:
I'll try and have a bit of a session tomorrow and see how we go :up:

When I built the LEC Elite PC they only had 10.10 available for the 6800 series, I assume they have updated that now.

Looks good.....might give it a go if i sever sort out me bsods im having all the time.

Posted this on another website......

found out my bsods are down to something called volmgr in my event log......apparently it has something to do with my page file and virtual memory crash dump.....i have partitioned my 500gb hd, so i have C and E drives now, is there a way to undo the partition and have all the 500gb all C drive?....i have nothing on the E drive but reading on some forums i shouldnt have partitioned my drive as this is my problem......i can delete the E part of the drive but that wont solve my problem?
18-12-2010

You can use Partition Wizard Home to delete E and resize C, they do a bootable ISO which is better for handling C resizes.

Personally I have it set as system handled (see attachment) and I have all my drives partitioned and have never had an issue :up:
Currently allocated is 8100MB which is how much RAM I have installed.
Have you ran Check Disc?
18-12-2010
Ya Mother

Yeah ran check disk twice........ might give that partition wizard a go.....i just googled the problem from my event viewer and came up with a few forums saying it was cos of my page file etc....apparently mini crash dumps, what ever they are ha ha.
18-12-2010
Ya Mother

I downloaded that wizard but not sure what to do? Is there a step by step guide for what i need to do?
18-12-2010
Lloyd_mcse

If you got the bootable ISO you can burn it to disc and reboot, boot from CD and then you will need to delete E, then right click on your C partition and "Move & Resize" then you can use the slider to expand the drive - hover the mouse cursor over the end of the C partition (see screenshot) and drag to fill the empty space. Done :up:

Ah right.....cheers Lloyd. :)

No probs mate, hope it helps.

Cant seem to burn the image to disc?...... im using image burn and it wont recognise it? do i use cd or dvd-R?....or does it not matter?

It gives you the option to delete and resize in the app......do i really have to have it on cd and then boot onto it?

Edit.....i just done it using the app instead of using boot disc and i deleted E and resized C........sorted.
Hope this sorts out me bsods........if not next step is to sort out page file and virtual memory, if that doesnt work then RE-FORMAT. :(
19-12-2010
Lloyd_mcse

Yeah sorry you can use the app, but I always use the boot disc for resizing C to avoid errors etc :up:

How is your virtual Memory assigned now? System Managed?

EDIT: You shouldn't have any trouble burning the disc (CD), I think I used Nero or Windows Image Burner :up:
Can you burn other ISO's? As that could be a symptom of the underlying issue.

Got bsod again....gonna have a look at the pagefile again....think it is system managed.

nah it wasnt....is now tho.

BSOD.... :(
20-12-2010

Installed the latest drivers.....very nice.....no bsod for last 2 hours.....strange?
20-12-2010
Ya Mother

Spoke too soon....think it maybe kernel power 41 63 error not the volmgr......methinks a re-format soon. :(
20-12-2010

I flashed latest bios......was scary......fingers crossed. :)

Did u use the EZFlash - great little add on, I just add the BIN/ROM file to the root of C and boot into ezflash :up:

Yeah i download the rom file to me desktop then moved it to my D drive then used EZ flash to install....excellent tool (then applied overclock).......i got a lockup not long after tho......i then updated the soundcard driver and the pc has been running for about 10 hours with no bsod or lock ups...... fingers crossed again. :)

I dont play bfbc2 (even tho i have it) but i can see a difference on my dreamscene......blacks are blacker and the graphics seem to be sharper with more definition......i would defo recommend them. :)

Yeah they have been good so far, haven't been able to play much because of login issues the last couple of days, will hopefully get on for a session later :up:
