how much ram and what cpu do you have? i have a 7800gt, 1.5 gig of ram and a intel p4 540. I only get 50-60 fps on most maps.uber73 wrote:
this beta driver was developed primarily to capitalise on the release of Oblivion a while back... its not a new driver, in fact there is a further one ahead of this beta, .43 i think...
ive been using it since it was released, with no issues whatsoever. it allowed me to push my overclock profile a tad higher on my 7800gt.. (currently about +10-15% above default - im sitting at 485 @ 1.15) bf2 cruises for me with max settings on everything, at around 80fps across all maps.
dont fear beta drivers. if they dont work for u, revert to most recent alpha. no biggie.
and yes, most driver releases these days are released with increasing focus on the latest chipsets, so u may get SOME benefit on your 6600, but dont expect it to give u 20 extra fps dude....

I don't have a clue how to do that stuff to my card but oh well!alpinestar wrote:
yeah, I have 7800 gs co evga and There is a shitload of difference, remember to get forceware coolbits and set clock settings to their appropriate value, my = 460 * 1350

I think that this is very poor advice to be doling out, and hopefully you all are smart enough to see that. Generally, both Nvidia and ATI are going to clock the cards as high as they can while still ensuring good stability. Whenever you increase memory or core clockspeeds (especially if you have not taken steps to increase the units cooling capacity) you are going to be more prone to freezes or in-game artifacts. Otherwise, why would they make the product shicrappier? Especially with a high end graphics card?alpinestar wrote:
here's the link to coolbits http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=815
get it and install it, this will give you hidden features of your nvidia card, from there you can set the clock speeds
most of the drivers won't set your speed to what it should be especially if you have 7800 gs oc, you will default at the regular clock speed if you have 7800 gs oc superclock set them to what I have memory freq = 460

and remember nvidia is made for overclockers with ati I could only up it 2 mhz on core !!

I did not dispute that point. Please re-read my previous post in this thread because you have obviously missed the point (increasing the clock speed to it's stated speed on OC cards would fall under OC'ing w/ improved cooling...that was and remains a valid point).alpinestar wrote:
^^^^^
EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GS CO Superclock when used with nvidia provided driver clocks it to the speed of regular 7800 gs that's why if you don't use EVGA drivers you NEED to set the appropriate speeds which are on the damned BOX OF THE CARD or you will loose performance on which you spent the money
460 mhz / 1350 mhz . mmmmmk ?. Obviously my advice is not bullshit

Anybody tried these drivers on SLI 7800GT's? I am curious so see how they work?

I am just curious what is a mini image? I am new to this SLI thing. When I try to tab out of battlefield I get the problem dicussed on this topic. So how do I go about fixing this. Thanks for the help in advance.SuB wrote:

good luck
(btw u still can't tab out if u have SLi enabled)
tip: if your exe crashes like myn did, use a mini image and it's fixed
welcome to the SLi club
the only way to fix the tabbing bug is to run single gpu mode on the sli option...(which kinda defeats the object of having sli)StickyBombs wrote:

Thanks for the help man. I will try that when I get home. After I intall the new 91.28 drivers!!!SuB wrote:

bf2 HATES tabbing out with SLi, so don't worry it aint just you
a mini image, is where you mount a "copy" of the important parts of the cd you put in the drive. the game thinks it's there, when it's just a file on your hard drive being 'mounted' as a cd, it's alot faster on starting the game, and apparently fixes the exe crashing bug i was experiencing.
but as far as tabbing out goes, if you have SLi enabled you can't, it either freezes the screen till u tab back in, or it will destroy half of what is rendered on screen
