OR SHOULD I SAY BOT!!



edit: Still no GeForce Go Vista drivers, which means that for now I'm stuck with the crappy Dell ones.

Dude! Don't use the Dell default ones! I have that card, and there are third party custom drivers that work MUCH better. I couldn't even play Dawn of War or Guild Wars on my lappy with the old drivers, but with the customs I can play both, and get a resonable framerate even on medium graphics settings!

I'll find the site...

EDIT: It's the Omega driver set. I use v 1.6693 for a GeForce4 440 Go. I'll find a dl link...

EDIT2: Doh! I don't think he has drivers written yet for Vista. Sorry, I missed that little detail!

Humm, I found nvidia geforce 6 series drivers, finally.

Have you tried the latest beta drivers from Nvidias web site ?


Also, I'm bot a BOT ...

Yes, at one point, but they were incompatible with either my hardware or Vista.

Is the GeForce Go the laptop version of a GF4 MX?

Yup. Pretty much an identical chip. http://www.anandtech.com/mobile/showdoc.aspx?i=1642&p=2

Pretty dated these days, but it's a rugged little bastard that Dell put in all their laptops ~5 years ago, so you still see a lot of them around. I was once building a custom peice of hardware to interface between my laptop and an old projector with an usual pin out, and accidentally ran power to ground right through the card. It snowcrashed, of course. Shockingly (no pun intended) it recovered after a re-boot, and has run fine ever since!

what card do you have erom? Ive been considering laptops with a 7600 se so Ive been buggering around looking for new vista go drivers, I was under the impression nvidia placed driver responsibilty for notebooks on the actual notebook manufacturer but I could be wrong, anyway, I found these... they may help

these new drivers are absolutely rock solid :) They even crash with dignity compared to the old ones (stalker is pretty buggy :F)

Mine is the laptop version of the GeForce 7900 GS.

I still get the TDR crashbug playing gundam, and XTA, albeit I can do several XTA games so for XTA 40mins-4hours not 4-40 minutes and Gundam is slightly worse off than it was under 101.7 drivers.

I'd try stalker again but I reached a bit I found hard and got demotivated.

The latest Forceware drivers for XP 32-bit still seem to be 93.71 (Nov 2 2006).

Looks like Nvidia only updated the 8800,8600 and 8500 ... cards...
drivers ...

They should have updated all of them ...

genblood in case you did not get the memo, those of us with 8000 series have HORRID drivers

The forceware drivers for average users without 8xxx series cards were fine, but Vista/8xxx series cards need better drivers badly and thats why nvidia brought out vista and 8xxx only driver updates.

What the fark? I've got 97.92 drivers, and these new ones are 158.19? That doesn't add up... I thought I just updated drivers.

I think everyone should get a 8600 card as soon as they're available. Seem to be really, really good value for average users from what I've read.

And remember, there're the 8500 and 8400's coming out soon

Meh, seems like a waste of money going down that far. I don't think it'd be an upgrade for anyone here.

With everyone bitching about the drivers, a high end 7 series option seems to be better here...
