I'll just make a trip on over to 2701 San Tomas Expy Santa Clara, CA 95050 and get some new 590's with flawless drivers....

So strange. These are just regular 460's?

Did you have the same issues with the 266.77's? I've used them on both my 480's and now 580's without needed to mod them.

Other than that I'm at a loss as far as the drivers not installing. Maybe try cleaning out your install completely with driver cleaner or sweeper. Might want to also try older drivers to see if your current ones somehow corrupted something that won't let you install any drivers.

The cards are the EVGA 768-P3-1362-TR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) Superclocked 768MB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16

I'll wipe out the drivers and try again.

Chipset driver replacement? A PCI-Express setting in BIOS?

Squirrels in your computer?

Latest chipset and bios versions - i'll check out my bios again to make sure all is well

I just turned off PCI-E Spectrum (old school overclocking) - let us see if this helps

so.. this is how I made my situation MUCH BETTER.

#1 goto Nvnews.net
#2 make sure everything in the bios is correct (mine was not)
#3 start - control panel - sound - then disable everything that i do not use
#4 cap the fps in the game - i max out at 120 so i have it set to 80

by the way guys, i have been talking in many other forums and you guys were the only group with solid answers so Thank You VERY MUCH!

What exactly wasn't right in the BIOS?
