Problems with BZ2 & Latest Nvidia Drivers (8800GT, 9600GT)

[GENERAL MANSON*]

I do. I told my friend to try this with his card. Not sure if hes tried it though.

New drivers for GeForce 6,7,8,9 series here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_175.19_whql.html , posted yesterday (June 23, 2008). Spotted http://techreport.com/discussions.x/14994 here. No, I've not tried them.

Wierd. I did a search for my FX series 5200 and it went to that link to. Not sure if i should take chances installing it.

The new nvidia 175.19 drivers don't solve the display problem with my 8800 GTX.  I still have to have the sky set to "none" to keep from getting a messed up display.

I am still using a 6800GS and actually had the same problems when I upgraded to the latest drivers about 6 months ago.

I have found that any drivers after 162.67 will not work with bz2. Try downgrading the drivers to 162.67 and see if that works. You can get older drivers at www.guru3d.com

Let me know how that works, I am interested to see if my hunch is correct.

Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS
Driver: 6.14.11.6218

Just thought id get involved 

I have stalled upgrading my drivers due to this complaint.

Just so you know that this version works.

I might suggest getting rivatuner at www.guru3d.com also. It has a lot of tweaks that are easier to implement than the tweaker that comes with the forceware drivers.

I use the version as marked 162.67, which is also 6.14.11.6267, so after this version, my hunch is BZ2 will most likely not function under certain conditions.

Just stick to latest hwql drivers.
Btw if you got one of first releases of 9800gtx you need to replace bios to new one(i got new one,now)
No graphics issues after replacing bios to new one.

Has anyone found a working driver for the 8800GT? Every one I try that's older than what I have complain about "Compatible Hardware not found" and refuse to install...

[Ego - Nikolas]

Programm new bios and it will work.

[VSMIT]

Don't know about that, because he's using an 8800 GT, not a 9800 card.

VSMIT.

[Ego - Nikolas]

Setup drivers programs acess and read bios, and check if his card(bios) is good for those drivers ect.
And when bios is corupted, then no drivers on your pc.

It dosent matter if you got latest drivers or old ones same thing go for graphics cards, 9800 or 8800 or voodoo2 or mistyque220
all work on that  simple way

Why do you think this web page so much software ?

PPl got problems, for them is eazyer to deal w problem rather blaming vista xp and nv drivers (ati sux too, on huge complete 100meg drivers)

[Nielk1]

All the new drivers for all cards have issues relay.

Steeveeo, check that flashy bios thinymawatsit.

ARG! None of the bios flashing programs work at all! They all act as if this card doesnt even exist! The latest nvFlash utility says "ERROR: PCI BIOS not found", so Im guessing it is not compatible with PCI-E cards. Is there a setting on Rivatuner or nVidia control panel that Im missing? I cant seem to find a single thing that works...

[Ego - Nikolas]

I had problem like you had, was programing a chip compaq server expansion board and i use hot flash with mainboard put software to use lan and scsi and to bypass protections..
I was using uniflash and get adress of flash memory as pci adress and size...
