Issues Resolved in Version 71.89

This following are changes made and issues resolved since driver version 71.84:

â?¢ GeForce 6600GT / 6800 Ultra, SLI, Windows XP: Overclocking using Coolbits does not work when SLI mode is enabled.

â?¢ GeForce 6600 GT / 6800 LE / 6800 / 6800GT / 6800 Ultra, SLI: After exiting a 3D game, the NVIDIA clock frequency remains at the higher 3D-performance frequency instead of reducing to the standard clock frequency.

â?¢ GeForce 6800 Ultra: The ʹTemperature Settingsʹ in the Display Properties while idling reports an approximately 20% higher temperature than with the previous driver version.

â?¢ GeForce 6600 GT, Windows XP: The game Lock Onâ??Modern Air Combat crashes when played at the highest graphics settings.

â?¢ Dual GeForce 6800 Ultra, SLI: System fails to resume from S4 Hibernate on ASUS A8N-SLI.

â?¢ GeForce 6600 GT, SLI, Windows XP: Corruption appears on the course in Tiger Woods 2005 with SLI mode enabled.

â?¢ GeForce 6800 Ultra, SLI, Windows XP: Running the game Chronicles of Riddick with SLI enabled results in corruption or application crash.

â?¢ GeForce 6600 GT / 6800 LE / 6800 / 6800GT / 6800 Ultra, SLI: System fails to resume from Standby/Hibernate with OpenGL running in SLI mode.

â?¢ GeForce 6600 GT / 6800 LE / 6800 / 6800GT / 6800 Ultra, SLI: System hangs at the end of the driver installation while initializing the second display (DVI) on ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard.

NVIDIA Recommendations

â?¢ The GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB works in single card mode with Apple 30 inch HD Cinema panel. However, an issue has been discovered when running the GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB card in SLI mode with an Apple 30 inch HD Cinema display. This is due to an interaction between the GPU, the application, and the ability to scale to nonnative panel resolutions of the Apple display. All GeForce 6 series GPUs will work with Apple 23 and 20 inch HD Cinema displays in single GPU mode.

NVIDIA recommends using the GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB with the Apple 30 inch HD Cinema Display line only in non-SLI modes.

â?¢ Single display modes such as TV only, DFP/LCD only or CRT only provide the best performance and quality from Windows Media Center Edition.

Dual display modes such Dualview and nView Clone and Span modes are not recommended.

â?¢ When using the trial version of WinDVD 6 from InterVideo.com, you may experience TV or DVD playback problems in Windows Media Center if you change resolutions during video playback. This is most often seen when switching from windowed to full screen mode.

This problem does not occur with the latest full OEM versions of WinDVD or with other Windows Media Center qualified DVD decoders.

â?¢ If you perform a clean driver installation (no previous NVIDIA drivers installed), you must reboot your computer. If you do not reboot, the predefined application profiles will not be activated and you may experience application stability problems.

â?¢ Windows XP/2000: Clone mode may be set for the GeForce FX 5600 although only one display is connected.

This setting causes a drop in the performance of 3D applications. The workaround is to use the NVIDIA control panel to reset the system to standard mode from Clone mode.

using the 76.10 myself ,3500 marks faster on aquamark (47,500 ish) same sort of improvment with 3d mark 2003 & 2005 at default clocking.

[Grendel]

How's the gameplay w/ those "Marks" ?

FYI -- w/ 71.89 frame rates drop in 'marks but increase in actual games vs. 76.41+.

[MD-2389]
