Latest 191.07: 5040 AND DX10!!

Post by **Mach1.9pants** » 06 Oct 2009, 05:17

Ok so colour me excited... after months of being XP and within days of me getting a free copy of Win7, the latest NV drivers allow me to get 5040. And according to Thales he can tun DX10! Not tested here just installed it and this is the first thing I have done.

ATi releases EF, very popular and now (after months of us whinging about it) 5040 is back!

I used 191.07, GXM 2_05_00_020 and firmware v2.3.40.t6.56. And the wizard works....

So don't give up, please try it, my EF purchase now on hold. I can now wait until Fermi gets out cos I have Win7 Pro 64 bit @ 5040 :)

I've just upgraded the nvidia drivers on my PC from 190.56 to 191.07 and have found it to work as well. (Note my setup was working with version 190.56 @ 5040x1050@57Hz before)

I've also managed to setup a custom 5040x1050@58Hz to get rid of a monitor nag screen but will see how long that lasts before the GXM blows it out of the water...

Thanks Thales and Mach for pointing this out.

EDIT2: Eh, now 191.03 doesn't work either.
EDIT: Nope, was a little too hasty there. This driver causes the screen output to go all nutty in both Aion and Majesty 2. Multi colored lines across all monitors, seemingly randomly. Back to 191.03

Just came here to post I just installed 191.97 WHQL too on Win 7 x64.

I...

- Uninstalled the previous Nvidia drivers, and the matrox software
- Rebooted to safe mode
- Ran driversweeper for Nvidia clenaup
- Rebooted to normal mode
- Installed 191.07 WHQL and rebooted
- Installed matrox software

Everything works as with 191.03.

Not got any DX10 titles to tets with tho =/

I just tried upgrading from the 182.50 to the latest one "191.97" in win vista 64-bit again can't apply resolution so back to 182.50 and wait for Eyefinity :)

Aexrael · Post by **Aexrael** » 06 Oct 2009, 18:32

A format later, and everything's back to normal, running the new driver. Been hammering away on Aion for an hour now without problems.

Upgrading drivers with the matrox box is iffy at best.

I just upgraded my drivers, vista ultimate x64. Used current firmware and drivers. I did not uninstall anything, just installed the new drivers over the old ones. Firmware, then restart, GXM then restart, NVIDIA 191.07 drivers, restart. It came up as 3840x1024, then I added a custom resolution via the nvidia control panel. These numbers came from back when we were getting 182 working; you need to select the "CVT Reduced Blank" option first.

Monitors are samsung 2253LW, after finishing the install they show 60Hz.

191.07 version

185 version

Post by **Mach1.9pants** » 07 Oct 2009, 04:42

Man this sucks, I haven't got Vista/Win7 working for ages at 5040 and thought now they have it sorted. But doesn't work for every one Grrrrr. :evil:
I dunno what I can say... this was a total freah install of Win 7 191.07, the GXM and the firmware. And it worked.

Welp, driver still crashes whole system for me.
EDIT: Maybe sometimes it's the Matrox box, because the green light goes red, and sound doesn't crash as it does when it's the Nvidia driver which bombs. And I don't always have this event viewer entry.

Another format later and I'm back on 191.03. Back where things work.

Just had my custom resolution nerfed by my system, it was running fine and then after a week it just mysteriously disappeared so now I'm back to 5040x1050@57Hz with a nag screen. I'm guessing it's the Matrox GXM that is deleting or overwriting it.

Does anyone have an idea on how to disable this behaviour as I still would like to have the GXM running for some of the other functionality.

Thanks for pointing that out Scav.

Currently managed to set up a 5040x1050@59Hz setting on Vista x64 using the following driver/firmware versions:

GXM 2_05_00_020
Nvidia 191.07
Firmware v2.3.40.t6.56

Hopefully this will stick, after making the changes Mattsimis setout.

I've also got 5040x1050 working, except at 60hz with GXM 2.05.00.020, nvidia 191.07 and firmware 2.3.40, 6.56.

For the People trying this ... Make sure you have the newest powerdesk. I was running the Beta version and it would not work red x's ... I changed to the newest and it works..

And what about DirectX 10, has someone else got it working like me ? Far Cry 2 is a nice game to test it, its running DX10 on full screen here.

Since I installed Windows 7 I have been coming here more and more often. I installed Win7 over my Vista 64bit Ultimate to give the new OS a try. However my older Vista OS has proprietary drivers for the 5040 x 1050 to work on it. So I was a little nervous about the upgrade.

Once I upgraded to Windows 7 I lost a lot of functionality immediately. Particularly Aero wasn't working. Aero is what makes Windows beautiful so there was no way I would settle for NO Transparency or any other feature.

First I tried to change some System32 files from some leads on google, and these were a bust, and FINALLY I come across Mach1.9pants post and I gave it a try.

Well, it works perfectly, so thank you Mach1.9pants
