GeForce 185.20 Beta Drivers Download
Jan 2, 2009
It has only been a few hours since XFastest have released the new GeForce 185.20 beta drivers, including a new release of Nvidia's PhysX engine 8.11.18.
Yet what's particularly noteworthy is that these new drivers contain an Ambient Occlusion setting that can be set to Low, Medium, High and Off.
From the description in Nvidia Control Panel:
Ambient Occlusion adds realism to scenes by reducing the intensity of ambient light on surfaces blocked by surrounding objects. It enhances depth perception by providing a soft shadow effect for objects based on their placement in the scene. This feature is not supported for all applications.
Basically, Ambient Occlusion is used to create soft, ambient lighting shadows, emulating diffused lighting such as daylight or indoor ambient lighting. For a more articulate description, refer to the Wikipedia definition here.
Additionally, Hardware-Infos has a write-up comparing GeForce 185.20 beta to several popular drivers releases issued in the second half of 2008.
The drivers are available for Windows XP (32-bit and 64-bit), Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit) and Windows 7 build 7000 and can be found here.

I ran Windows 7 Beta on my HP Pavilion laptop tx-1000, with it's internal NVIDIA nForce wireless adapter supporting b/g and n. It worked fine, then yesterday I loaded RC1.
Although the wireless connect SEES all the wireless networks, it can't connect to any (of mine, two total).
I've removed all the security from them, and connected to them with a desktop with a PCI wireless adapter, so they're good.
Did the driver set change from Beta? Is there a comprehensive diagnostic process to determine WHY Windows 7 can't connect?

Windows 7 Beta 1 Multi-Touch Is Much Improved
I documented my experience with the Windows 7 pre-beta, N-Trig’s Win 7 multi-touch driver, and the Dell Latitude XT Tablet PC back in November. Most folks will remember that experience as being pretty lousy.
Well, there is finally some good news to report. I just finished installing Windows 7 Beta 1 and the latest N-Trig multi-touch drivers for Windows 7 on the XT, and I’m pleased to report that the experience is much improved.
Picture zooming, rotations, zooming in web page, etc are all much smoother and I what I expected when I first tested it. Zooming could be still be improved, but it is much better than the pre-beta. In addition, there is no vectoring when switching from pen to touch, inking, etc. (See update below) This feels like a solid multi-touch experience. Microsoft and N-Trig should be commended.
There are no N-Trig dialog feedback dialogs, and no N-Trig control panel options other than an About panel. Windows 7 has clearly taken over the multi-touch experience from beginning to end.

So I like to stay on top of things, and that mean at least running betas of browsers, if not dev channels, and what do I stumble on in Chrome? A new download manager. It's not on by default, so you won't see it right away, but if you go to ABOUT:FLAGS, and enable "New Downloads UI" you no longer get that annoying download bar at the bottom of Chrome. I know some may like that, but I hate it, so to me this is a welcome find. I also noticed they added "Smooth Scrolling", but again, it's not on by default, so you need to enable it under flags too.

I am using Vista 64 and the 8.12 drivers to display @ 1680x1050 on my TFT and 1920x1080 on my TV. All seems to work ok with the extended desktop and I can vary the refresh rate with no problems, as well as the resolution.
Having seen the latest beta driver for the 64 bit version of Windows 7 (beta_w7-64_8-56-1-081203a-72489) I have read the release notes and seen...
Quote: Catalyst Control Center, the display manager page has been disabled for this release of the Windows 7 display driver The above would cause me a problem as I use that to set the resolution and refresh rate changes to both my TFT and TV. But then I read...
Quote: Changing the screen resolution on a extended TV display is not applied until reboot How is that achieved, or is it via the system tray icon, if the display manager tab is disabled..?
Also if the tab is not there can the refresh rate still be changed on the TV..? If it can be changed can that be done on the fly or does that need a reboot...?

I tried to play Wolfire Games - Lugaru (i have bought the game but the demo is good test) on my laptop with Intel gma 965, or the X3100 if you prefer, and it is unplayable.
Using the included 965 driver with windows 7 RC and Beta both, and even updating to the newest version currently available on windows update, the game is unplayable. The mouse cursor lags, heavily, just in the menu screen. It froze the system overall when I tried to load a level.
I can play the game just fine on Linux with this laptop. And, after trying the older Vista drivers instead of the windows 7 drivers, it ran just perfectly. The vista drivers DID give me a BSoD afterwards though when I shut down. I didn't install them in vista compat mode.
I had the exact same problem with GeForce drivers on a desktop with the same game(and another game called Secondhand Lands). The included windows 7 video drivers overall seem severely crippled.

I have a problem with my nVidia drivers. When I first installed Windows 7, I installed the GeForce drivers (big mistake). Then I installed the automatic update of nvidia drivers that Windows 7 downloaded. This lead to problems. I have now unistalled all drivers. Windows then looked for it's own drivers, and said they were installed. However, Aero doesn't seem to be working (all taskbars are gray).
I can't download the drivers from the nVidia site, because for some reason they haven't put the Windows 7 drivers for mobile gfx cards online. I can't download the driver via Automatic Update because Windows seems to think I already installed it. Does anybody know how I can find these drivers?

These drivers are VERY BETA, use at your own risk!
However, I have noticed a slight increase in performance (Versus the 186.18 Drivers) in the Crysis Benchmark as well as the Counter-Strike: Source stress test.
I haven't tried 3DMark or any of that jazz yet.
DOCUMENTATION FROM THE GURU3D SITE:
There's a new NVIDIA GeForce driver out on the loose and it's in fact the first series 190 driver ever. This is Forceware 190.15 The driver is available for Windows Vista 32- and 64-bit and for Windows XP 32-bit flavor is available.
Very little is known about this driver but we need to that the original .inf file shows it was targeted at Quadro cards. We replaced the index with a modified .inf files (courtesy of laptopvideo2go) making the driver compatible with all current GeForce cards.
Interesting is that the Vista / Win 7 drivers also contact 3D Stereo drivers revision 190.15, look inside the archive to spot that yourself.
These drivers are to be considered very beta and thus treated as such. You install them at your own risk, don't complain to us or NVIDIA if they do not work out for you.
Win 7 | Vista 64-bit: GeForce ForceWare 190.15 Win 7 | Vista (64-bit) download from Guru3D.com
Win 7 | Vista 32-bit: GeForce ForceWare 190.15 Win 7 | Vista (32-bit) download from Guru3D.com
Windows XP 32-bit: GeForce ForceWare 190.15 XP (32-bit) download from Guru3D.com
XP 64-bit users: I could not find the 64-bit XP version of this driver! Try the 32-bit and see if it works!

I've got a problem with installing drivers for GeForce 9600M GT. I've installed windows 7 build 7264 x86, and after installation my display adatper is Standard VGA. This's a bit strange becouse when i have a beta 7000, and 7100 it automatically goes for windwos update and get correct drivers.
I've downloaded latest drivers from Nvidia (186.03) but it wont install with message that it cant find drivers for my hardware.
I've tried nvidia auto scannig, with no result. Also tried installing drivers manually with update driver, and uninstalling standard vga drivers in safe mode, but after restart it automatically install standard vga drivers even in safe mode...
I have MSI Gx630 Laptop.

I have Windows 7 32bit installed on an ASUS P5RD1-VM mobo with an nVidia Geforce 8500 GT graphics card.
I have tried numerous times to install the Windows 7 (32bit) Driver from manufacture site, but when it tries to install the drivers, I get an error message saying "No drivers were found that work with your device. Setup will now close."
I don't get this! I'm on that graphics card right now, in Windows 7, and typing this thread...
Also, in Device Manager, there is no "Display Adapter" listed.... I can't seem to find any evidence of a generic display driver either....
I've already solved the problem of my sound not working (SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio) and this is the last thing I need to get Windows 7 working for a REAL test run!
How can I get these drivers installed?

I am using NVidia GeForce FX 5500 256 MB RAM on my home PC. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate RC and everything worked smoothly including Aero to the highest quality where drivers were from Windows Update. Now, I got licensed Windows 7 Professional. When I update the driver from Windows Update everything works just fine until I shut down the PC and turn it on again. When I do that after OS finishes loading, screen suddenly goes blank. After like 2 minutes, system gives a blue screen and restarts. This time Windows successfully makes it to desktop saying that Windows recovered from an unexpected shutdown. When the report is prepared it says something went wrong with the video card drivers. The same thing happens even if I install the latest drivers for Vista directly from nVIDIA website as there is no Windows 7 drivers for FX 5500.
