Official nvida installer with these drivers...i do get increases all around,not much but the same as any other driver update.As long as no bugs and old problems disappear,im ok with em

Nvidia refresh rate fix no longer works for me, cant read the modes after installing on win 2k, running 3d mark 2001 saw an improvement of 102 3d marks over 27.30 drivers for me.

Could these be the official nvidia drivers since there are in a exe format. All betas have been .zip.

The NV refreshrate doesn't work because nVidia have changed the way that the Registry entries have been entered...

Pre 27.42..

HKR,, NV20_Modes, %REG_SZ_APPEND%, "16 1280 1024 60 70 72 75 85 100 120 0"

27.42...

HKR,, NV20_Modes_Delta, %REG_SZ%, "S 1600,900,-16,120;1600,900,32,100-;1600,1024,-16,120;1600,1024,32,100-;1600,1200,-16,120;1600,1200,32,100-;1920,1080,-16,120;1920,1080,32,85-;1920,1200,-16,100-;1920,1200,32,72-;1920,1440,-16,85-;1920,1440,32,70-;2048,1536,-16,70-;2048,1536,32,-"

Anyone know a working download url ?

damn! u can use also the rivatuner to solve the refreshrate problem but the nv refreshrate fix is a much better solution! hope we gonna get an update soon!

hmmm, Rivatuner doesn't work to fix the refresh-rates, too!!!
Is there another way to fix that? =(

I don't think there is a way yet to fix the refresh rate 'problem', because it is very different.

I think nVidia put the refresh rates in the driver and the values in the *.inf are the exceptions or the limits (or something like that).

this is a fix for the refresh rate problem :smile:
after u run setup edit the nv4_disp.inf from the temp directory where it's unpacked by setup. Let's say u have a good old NV20 chip ... GF3 ... u'll want to look for this

; NV20 (NV20) Supported Reference Modes
;
; NOTE: 640x480 MUST be listed FIRST in this list !!!!!
;

HKR,, NV20_Modes, %REG_MULTI_SZ%, "8 640 480 60 70 72 75 85 100 120 0"

where 8 is the bit depth, 640 480 is the res, and 60, 70 etc. are the supported refresh rates for that resolution/bit-depth. Edit the lines u need to set the refresh rates. U could also save all those files from the temp dir to have a permanent fix in case u have to reinstall the driver :smile:. This works with all drivers, just be sure to edit the nvidia card that u have :smile:.

have phun :wink:

oops
double posting ... sorry

how will the second line look like?

%REG_SZ_APPEND% or %REG_MULTI_SZ% as well?

Couldnt find what Odin was refering to in nv4_disp.inf & think i can see why, seems the new 27.42 nv4_disp.inf file size is 25k, earlier ones like 27.20 nv4_disp.inf file size is 217k, it appears all the refresh information is missing from the 27.42 inf file.
