:roll: post here

The funny thing about these and the 28.32 drivers are that they work within the Nvidia Refresh Rate-Fix program, but they don't really do the job.

Cause when you run the NV. Ref. Fix.-program and restart the computer. All games are still running at 60 Hz no matter if you set the Nv.ref.fix-prog to go at 100 Hz allover, for example.

If someone's gonna modify a driver, can't they at least do it properly!???!


I'm running Win XP on an Athlon T-bird 1.2 Ghz system, Iwill 266-K with 256Mb SDR ram, IBM Deskstar 40GB and a GeForce 2 MX 400. And I got all the latest drivers and updates for every software and hardware piece in my computer.

The only thing that never works as I want it, is the reference drivers that's been leaked after the Nvidia 27.23 drivers. The 27.23 are the latest one's I got working in Nvidia ref. rate-fix.

(I have a friend, and he has a MSI GeForce 2 Pro, and the only drivers that works for him without artefacts and other glitches in the graphics are the 22.50 from MSI. Why won't normal reference drivers work for him? Why have MSI made such strange cards? Just a question out of quriosity if someone else recognizes the problem.)

It's better that you learn how to use the new format.

I will briefly describe it here as I have taken much time to describe it on other forums.

[horizontal],[vertical],[bitdepth],[refresh rate]

640,480,-,-99

It will force 640x480@100Hz on every bit depth

640,480,16,-99;640,480,32,-84

It will force 100Hz on 640x480x16 and 85Hz on 640x480x32

Seperate all resolutions with a ;

Full Example(What I use)

640,480,-,-119;800,600,-,-119;1024,768,-,-99;1152,864,-,-84;

Put this in front of the already existing settings that Nvidia has there for your video card. Do this in the INF.

There you go, that's how you do it.

heres a little appl i use for a long time for fixing thr refrsh rate prob in xp :wink:

RefreshLock

I have tested a lot of dets from 22.xx to 28.32 annd it works perfect no need to reboot it stays in the background and as a option to start at boot and its fully configurate and its automatic.
still avent tested whit this new dets bur if hit works whit 28.32 i think it should work whit this new ones.
Just check it out.

CELERON(ONLY THE NICK)

where should i edit tht tell me where lol. in the registry?

It can be done in the registry, or the easiest way is to modify the INF before you install the drivers.

When you look in there you'll find them all in a neat line, turn off word wrap to see it that way.

You will find things like

NV15GL
NV20_1
NV20_2

and stuff like that.

At the bottom of the INF, it has those and their equivalent meaning. That's how I do it, completely self sufficient in this area Just find which one you have at the bottom, then find the name in the refresh lists, and put it there.

I'll give you an example

HKR,, NV15_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,-"

That's going to be word wrapped.

A modification to that would be

HKR,, NV15_Modes_Delta, %REG_SZ%, "S 640,480,-,-119;800,600,-,-119;1024,768,-,-99;1152,864,-,-84;1280,960,-,-74;1280,1024,-,-74;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,-"

That's what mine looks like. I keep the Nvidia original stuff there, and load these up to the front.

Oh yeah, before anyone gets upset with me.

Greets goes out to people on the nvnews.net forums that helped me with this when I first learned it. You know who you are, as we had a chat about this when 27.42 was leaked. BADAK I think your name was, if you read these, greets man this is great and it's helped a lot.

i think i undwerstand how to make the changes. but how do i edit the inf?
nv4_disp.dll? open with what notepad? i feel like dumbazz lol. thx 4 u help

woah sorry i have no idea how tht posted twice :o

i got it thx

You wanna change it in both modes right
GL_Modes_Delta
_Modes_Delta

If this is such a big problem why isn't Nvida "fixing" it from the get-go?

I am taking a guess but it's part of Microsoft's WHQL process or it's hard coded into the OS to use the minimum refresh rate(rather than the optimum in 9x).

Oh, and you edit it with notepad. And no, you don't edit "GL_Modes_Delta" as that is a different card. Read the bottom of the INF file for the correct one to fix. You only need to edit one line.

When I try to install 28.32 drivers with my creative labs Geforce2 GTS I ether crash during bootup or it bootsup only to have black screen.
