nvidia desktop lag

by nuggan • 26 Apr 2011, 19:29 • Journals
I just fucking format because of this very problem and made a clean installation of Windows 7 64-bit, everything runs smoothly as it should and I decide to install drivers for everything. So I was installing some random drivers and I went in to Windows Update to make sure windows doesn't install some gay shit, then I saw that it found drivers for most of my hardware (network adapter etc). So I was like cool, and chose to let it download/install drivers for nvidia etc.

well after surfing around while letting it download the drivers I noticed that my screen flashed and apparantly windows had installed the nvidia drivers for me.

then I notice it.. the fucking lag bs that I just format because of was back. I didn't even have this problem without nvidia drivers after a clean install....

See image:

basically I just get this random delay when draging windows around etc.

I just tried installing some older nvidia drivers with no luck. Can someone link me to some proper drivers or a solution to this problem? :(

what's ur gfx card?
Are you sure your computer can handle x64 OS?
Is your gfx card recognized on the driver browser?

oh ye, forgot, too tilted.

8800GTS.

Are you sure your computer can handle x64 OS?
shouldn't matter, I had this problem with 32-bit XP as well.

Is your gfx card recognized on the driver browser?
hm, can't find it in the device manager although I don't know exactly where it should be, but I just uninstalled all drivers again though

gl solving it, got the same in xp, people say it's normal tho but with win7 and aero you should have vsync on the desktop and it shouldn't lag like that

thing is, w7 should automatically find the newest and best driver for your card since it's nvidia it shouldn't be a problem, however if w7 doesn't find it be sure to get the brand driver which must be the best.

your screenshot obviously shows that w7 isn't using ur gfx card, problem is driver for sure.

I have that same issue right now with legit drivers, but turning on transparancy eliminates it.. pretty weird.

I have tried the latest, an old one and the one that I got with windows update. All of them had this problem. Has to be some issue with 8800GTS or smth, no idea.

eh, you're making it sound like I was trying to brag or smth :d
why would I want to buy a new graphics card when I play ET, QL and CS 1.6? :D
no way, I'll just take the free card and roll with that, 1 is better than 2.

TOMOYO 28 Apr 2011, 19:01
you won't roll anything except on ql and cs maybe where i dunno ur skill, on Et u r too low :{D
however yeah since u play those games enjoy ur (shit) SLI.

lol, why are you butthurt? what did I do to you? did I insult you or smth? wasn't intentional if I did. had this problem recently with xp as well as I mentioned earlier in the journal btw :p

edit: I think you missunderstood me :D with "roll" I didn't mean "own", "roll with that" is slang and pretty much means "live with it" (be satisified) http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=931

I got this problem ever since after I over-overclocked my Pc (prolly fried something a bit)
▼
nuggan 26 Apr 2011, 21:09
uhh, I fixed it or something, I turned on transparency under display settings.
weird, but still sucks cause I don't want transparency :D

and it's also weird that I had this problem on XP as well, i'm thinking my graphics card might be all fried up or some shit, been using it since like 2007/8 or smth now and perhaps transparency just "cover" the lag a bit or smth.

I had this on both XP and Vista, so it prolly isn't O/S related problem.

Too bad I'm on XP now so can't turn on transparency or other of that shit :/

I'd love to use XP instead of Win7 :D
Only switched cause of the ram issue }x
heard that 64-bit XP isn't all that great.

the new nvidia drivers are really shit. i upgraded them today but the controlpanel just went blank and crashed my system every time. i reinstalled old drivers and everything was fine.
