Hardware Forum / Video Cards / NVIDIA / October 2005WHQL 81.85 drivers out yesterday.....
Just noticed that nVidia released the new WHQL 81.85 drivers out on their website yesterday. Oct 20th. :)  SignatureJRS <steinie**X**@pacbell.net> Please remove **X** to reply... Facts do not cease to exist just because they are ignored. Installed, the WHQL date is October 10th 2005. > Just noticed that nVidia released the new WHQL 81.85 drivers out on their > website yesterday. Oct 20th. :) The included ReadMe file is also dated Oct.10. Interestingly, the ReadMe file says the drivers support older chipsets like the TNT2 and Geforce2 GTS, while the web page says otherwise: http://www.nvidia.com/object/81.85_winxp_32_supported.html Signature"War is the continuation of politics by other means.

Oct 20th. :) Craaaappp. I'll stop wasting my time to official driver releases from now on if I'll have to tweak like hell to get them work like I want. With these craaaappp drivers my monitor went blank now and then, plus BF2 turned unstable. So no reason for me to use these. The 81.85's are causing all sorts of problems with CRT monitors. >> Just noticed that nVidia released the new WHQL 81.85 drivers out on their >> website yesterday.

So no reason for me to use these. Yes he does. I've used Nvidia drivers for many years - this new version caused my system to have no video (after Win started and the driver was loaded of course) on both VGA and DVI to my panel. Through alot of effort I got things working again and reverted back to the previous driver version.

So no reason for me to use these. Hmmm, there is always one idiot like Charlie in these forums. I like how Charlie backs up her statement. I think Charlie should take her meds soon. Do a search for 81.85, crt, and nvidia direct access. You will find that NGO purposely removed the Nvidia Direct Access part of these new drivers because they cause problems with CRT's. There already have been a few posts here in addition to mine with people having trouble with these drivers and CRT monitors (usually blanking out when accessing the control panel). > Bullshit...you don't know wtf you are talking about > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >>> With these craaaappp drivers my monitor went blank now and then, plus >>> BF2 turned unstable. So no reason for me to use these. They work fine with my CRT just like the previous ones... > Hmmm, there is always one idiot like Charlie in these forums.

They also work fine for me, Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB 22". > They work fine with my CRT just like the previous ones... > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >>>>> With these craaaappp drivers my monitor went blank now and then, plus >>>>> BF2 turned unstable. So no reason for me to use these. When you access the nvidia control panel, does the monitor go blank, and then come back on? > They also work fine for me, Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 2070SB 22". > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] >>>>>> With these craaaappp drivers my monitor went blank now and then, plus >>>>>> BF2 turned unstable. So no reason for me to use these. They work fine on my single monitor display AST Vision 21H. However on my FX5200 which has dual 19" Hansol monitors, clicking on the nvidia applet causes the secondary monitor to switch off and come back on. > When you access the nvidia control panel, does the monitor go blank, and > then come back on?

In alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia, edde ordered an army of hamsters to type: > The 81.85's are causing all sorts of problems with CRT monitors. installed the drivers last night, no problems. I have two CRT's connected to the 6800GT. Perhaps it's only related to the geforce 7 series or certain crt's? > In alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia, edde ordered an army of hamsters > to type: [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > installed the drivers last night, no problems.

I did note in Star Wars battlefront the mouse action is correct now in being able to slide scroll bars.... I upped from 78.01 so there!!

So no reason for me to use these. I'm using a pair of SyncMaster 930B's, not having any problems with the LCD's. I AM having a problem with one brand of graphics application executing, running in processes, but not displaying on screen or the taskbar. Paint Shop Pro 9 and X. McG. > Just noticed that nVidia released the new WHQL 81.85 drivers out on their > website yesterday. Oct 20th. :) Hmmmm. I just installed them and noticed that while I have gotten a noticeable framte rate improvement, there has been some texture problems with the Sims 2. Most notably water and pillows turn blue. Then I tried Guild Wars, and I'm getting all sorts of texture errors. Some henchmen were blue, the textures for the ground are showing up as squares, so everything looks like a checkerboard. Anyone else having trouble with them? I have a 6600 GT AGP and am running Win Xp Pro x64. Someone with the same card was having the same glitches with the Sims 2. I uninstalled the 81.85 drivers and back to 77.77 and the problem is gone... Annother Nvidia goof. I use the version on manufacture webpage since they DO test them 1st and least maddog does. Saves the problems of getting bad drives from Nvidia. >> Just noticed that nVidia released the new WHQL 81.85 drivers out on their >> website yesterday.
