Figure.... post up a test run and ask before I put time and dry ice into a score i'd get blocked.

 

 

This is from a 9800GX2- check the GPU ID code. Everything else is masked in windows to allow the use of 169.21 drivers.

 

Will this be ok? It *should* be, its been discussed before... but I want expecting "8800GTS 512" to appear in ALL the name fields!

Hi

 

Well I think that it should be ok, but ... your score will be reported many times, people won't undertand, they"ll start claiming, crying, shouting, and so on ...

Why can't you just add the support of the 9800GX2 ID into the drivers?

[K404]

I dont know how to

 

I've made vague attempts at that in the past, but its never worked.

 

use 169.21-supported GPU... install drivers

 

Edit nvidia nv_disp.inf... to include GX2 (or whatever) info

 

Install card.

 

The world becomes a better place.....

 

but it never works for me

Maybe there's someone that can help you out with that my friend?

 

But are 169.21 really better than 173.67 which are natively supported by 9800GX2?

Yes, it's about editing the nv4_disp.inf, you're right. Just find the part where the videocards are being listed. Then seek for the dev_ID of your 9800GX2 and copy a line from an existing card. Then replace the DevID in a new line and then the name.

There can be two places were you have to insert the devID, but the name is required only in one - the localizable strings.
