Question for Nvidia card owners

Post by PanzerMeyer »

I'm currently using the official 93.71 drivers for my 7800gs and I have an occasional problem where Ghost Recon Advanced Warrior will completely lock up on me and then I have to do an End Task and close out the game. My PC doesn't lock up though so I know its not an overheating issue.

Which driver are you guys currently using for your card? I'm thinking of searching for some unofficial drivers online and see if that fixes my GRAW issue.

good question, I have a 7600gt 512mb card and it was working fine until the latest patch (1.35?) came out and the mission loads and the screen freezesbut I can hear all the audio going on inthe background and I hear my guys fighting and dieing. I also have to ctl-alt-delete to get out of it now.

I'm really about done with graw, and frankly, I will wait several months before gettign Graw2, to see how screwed up that is, and look to find it in the bargin bin for 1/3 price.

that's exactly what happens to me in GRAW. I can still hear audio and I can even hear myself reloading my weapon and moving around but the picture itself is totally frozen. Very odd indeed.

i use the extreme G drivers from here:

http://www.tweaksrus.com/

i use them for both my game machine (7800gt) and my laptop (7900gs) they have lots of other stuff too.

it has been a while since i played gRAW, but have not had a lock up like that. i think i am currently running the 93.81-based for both.

Thanks Steel. I'll try out the 93.81 driver tonight and see if that fixes my GRAW problem.
