Hey guys i was just wondering if there is anyone else out there have problems with there graphics card drivers on windows 7

Nah not really. The only problems I had was with NFS Shift. But going back to
June Nvid release helped that. And using Vista Drivers

Yea i installed the 179 beta vista driver and everything is sweet the 185 version on the driver doesnt want to work was just wondering if anyone else was having trouble apart from that win 7 runs awesome

I am using the win 7 64bit 191.07 and i don't have any problems.

Yea that will be it i am running win7 32 bit seems my release candidate i have is only 32 bit so that might be another issue then

And it just seems they have left out the support for my particular gpu because i checked on the compatability website and my gpu isnt on there the 8400M GS nvidia laptop graphics card

Re you sure? Here is the win 7 32bit driver for the 8m series.186.81

I had to use the 185.xx drivers nearly all the time....but not to worry now. My god dam GTX295 is gone belly up.

Yea ill double check next time i am at home, and that sucks plug what did ya do to it?

See i told you to get a GTX 275 or 285

Well I am hoping that XFX 5 Star support is actually 5 star....and they offer me either a single PCB version or be very nice and give me a 5870 which is cheaper. Either way I am offline for a while. It would be nice to get it sorted quickly.

I have a small issue with my nVidia driver and Win7. About one out of every 5 times i turn my computer on, the driver crashes and the screen goes black. A simple restart fixes it and the driver works fine any other time. I did some research and lots of people are having the problem.

What graphics card are you using, which driver and what version of win 7 32 or 64bit

nVidia GeForce 9600GT
driver version 8.16.11.9107
64-Bit

Well i had a problem with my laptop card and just installed an older driver, and everything went great have you tried that?

No but I will.

Alright well let me know how that goes for you

Not to hijack the thread but.....

How can nvidia get away with this...and from what I hear ATi are no better. I mean if you bought a car from a dealers and the engine would only work "PART TIME" you would be fit to kill. But this has been going on with nvidia for months.....its disgraceful.

And us MONGO's put up with it. Not to mention swallowing all the s**t they spew out about SLi and 50% performace upgrades with every driver release....BOOLLLLOCCCKKSSS. The consumer affairs boys should be on this BIG TIME. But we just accept it as part of the norm now.

Why this is allowed to continue is beyond me......take for example the new Cod game, no dedicated servers and half the country start a petittion. Same as L4D2 was announced the country was going MENTAL....dodgy drivers that limit you to even PLAY THESE GAMES>>>>>>

NOTHING.

No worries plug i feel you bro, its like everything though they want us to pay through the teeth and dont want to give us what they can do what would be the point in making a super graphics card when they can do little upgrades and make us pay s**t loads

Sounds like the new Camaro.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and I have yet to run into a single driver issue.
