DV not working with 9800 GX2 and vista 64. :thumbdwn:

[jcossin]

Confirmed that DV isn't working on my 9800GX2.

But...Aside from that these are the best drivers I've used on my 9800GX2 so far. Best Crysis performance on GPU benchmark and visual quality is excellent. I'm going to stick with these for a bit. Definitely better than 175.12!

I'm getting better results with 175.63 :headexplode:

[reggis]

As reported on other sites and verified in my setup, these drivers (175.16) fix the fan issue with the 9800gtx cards.

[ikjadoon]

OK, I think it is conclusive. From what I've heard on Guru3D's forums and here: DV is "broken" with the 9800GX2...Can't be a SLI issue, because a guy with 2x9800GTX was doing fine. Weird.

no more stuttering in Divx videos, which happened in all other 174 and 175 drivers.

Keepers!

I still get random graphics corruption while watching videos. It's this damn POS 780i board. I should have just kept the fooking 680i. /Rant.

[makotech222]

[nekrosoft13]

I stepped up from 163.75 to 175.12/16 (tried both) on the system in sig and I have strange issues in many games and sometimes either in Vista Desktop!!!
Issues are some flickering for a small fraction of a second (similar to a skipped frame) and a couple of times the system hardlocked (one on desktop, one in PES2008) and forced me to push the reset button...
Am I mad or many people found there drivers rather strange in behaviour?
Bye

Anyone else getting black screen, unresponsive system when alt-tabbing with the 175 drivers. Never had the issue on the 169's, but alt-tab out of games like COH and Crysis with the new 175's and I get black.
