After the remaining 3d tests I can now finally atest that V1.1 were the best thing that landed on my windows 7. It definitely improves games, not in a way like from 15 to 60 fps but when you play and you feel everything smoother you know it just performs better. The one thing I haven't tested yet about games is a very annoying flickering that happened with both win7 stock drivers and sigma 3.x. I couldn't test it because the games where it usually happens aren't installed. And another really important thing, with these drivers I finally have a windows desktop flicker-free experience, meaning that I used to do regular things on windows, browsing, productivity apps, whatever, and as I tend to have the volume panel on the background, sometimes the whole screen flickered while others just flickered the windows that were hidden behind the one I was using, meaning so far V1.1 are the first non flickering drivers for windows 7.
And Espio, it might slightly change from user to user but I strongly advise you to try these drivers as theyre da bomb :)) On Jun 11, 8:54 am, AngelicTears <[email protected]> wrote: > congratz...lol..then it's confirmed as a V1.1 bug...my bad actually for > forgetting to add the line with the value "1" to each device id...silly me.. > > that line is kinda improtant to GMA core as it actually consist of 2 > device simultaneously...so the 2nd line is for the 2nd "virtual" device > (which are important for double display and stuffs) to work...so far i didnt > received any complain becoz most of us here use 945GM and not GME..that sums > it up then..im gonna make an update on V1.1 "if" MAD_BEAST approve it...i > guess V1.1 will finally support netbooks afterall....a very much Thanks > telling me this bug Tribaljet!! ^^ > > the CP are meant to be user friendly....it's not possible of unclean > registry...V1.1 installer are designed to be clean as possible... > > -1st, the installer cleans the registry from old drivers (new and old > versions of MD) EXCEPT the addgame registry values which are kept for gaming > purposes.. > - after that only when the registry are clean. the installer install all the > necessary file for the V1.1 to work flawlessly.. > - mind that the installer also saves the important user's setting such as > native resolution, openGL setting and etc on a temp file, after the > installation, that temp file will fuse with the main registry as the final > step before reboot.. > > hmm,about the HDD WEI rating.. im not sure about that but MSI compatible > driver can effect all mobo IO in general..since GMA950 is PCI...thus it will > effect other bus IO, including HDD in my theory...commonly all thing that > connects to the mobo are connected to each other, im guessing that sums it > up... > > finally, thanks for supporting V1.1 drivers ^^ > > On Fri, Jun 11, 2010 at 1:53 PM, tribaljet <[email protected]> wrote: > > And so far shaders are going strong without any hiccups on media > > player classic :) > > > On Jun 11, 6:20 am, tribaljet <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Seriously, someone give Angelic a big round of applauses... or at > > > least a 1 year supply of pizza rolls.
