Release Notes

* WHQL certified kit
* Unified drivers with support for nForce, nForce2, and nForce3 products, including support for dual-processor systems.
* General compatibility fixes
* Audio Driver Improvements
o Addressed audio issues in numerous games and applications
* Storage Driver Improvements:
o RAID Morphing
o Improved RAID Interface
o RAID spans both SATA and PATA devices
o RAID 0, 1, and 0+1
o Improved handling of various storage devices

--------
Mostly RAID updates as it seems; I'll stick with my current set but driver updates are still welcome regardless.

dpagan · Sep 17, 2004, 02:47 PM

besides the ide driver the gart driver has also changed

Shinjikun · Sep 17, 2004, 02:52 PM

Might as well upgrade.

For the nForce chipset drivers does anyone recommend an uninstall\driver clean(er)\reinstall of the latest driver (like upgrading the video driver) or would just installing over the current set suffice? I just would want to mess up any of the gart settings (even though they should\will be restored after it's reinstalled).

I'm just cautious; this A7N8X-E is my first nForce 2 board. Not too familiar with the nForce unified drivers through my own personal experience.

Swifty2003 · Sep 17, 2004, 03:06 PM

I installed over the latest release and all is working fine

What's difference with the remix drivers? This is the first time I've heard of them.

(congrats on 9K posts BTW

i see the gart and memory controller is also different, i wonder if you can get more performance from the remix, are there any release notes on the remix drivers?

Shinjikun · Sep 17, 2004, 05:50 PM

Where can I get these remix drivers?

(dumb question; sorry!)

dpagan · Sep 17, 2004, 06:06 PM

neon posted the link, taken from neons post ftp://ftp.sweclockers.com/pub/Drivr...RollE2k_MIX.rar

*update*
by the way would like to know if you get some extra performance, thanks

Shinjikun · Sep 17, 2004, 06:09 PM

Cool; thanks for the link. Time to experiment with chipset drivers when I get home.

Edit: Damn I'm blind; I didn't even notice the link in Neon's post.

saweet · Sep 17, 2004, 07:43 PM

can someone post a link that works for the 5.03 remix

Shinjikun · Sep 18, 2004, 10:49 AM

Saweet; look at Neon's post above. It has a working link.

I upgrade from the 4.XX (don't know the exact number, it was prior to 5.03) nForce chipset drivers to the 5.03 remix. Didn't notice any dramatic changes, just slightly faster in benchmarks (and I do mean slightly).

Guess I'll stick with them, if the 5.10 WHQL has older builds then 5.03 remix is fine w/me.

Wiredzero · Sep 18, 2004, 11:02 AM

The WHQL 5.10's are also on Guru3d now. Easily found by going to the link below.

Shinjikun · Sep 19, 2004, 11:47 AM

5.03 remix works well here. No complains at all.

classic_leon · Sep 19, 2004, 02:04 PM

I installed 5.10 drivers, and they work great.

I have found a bug of this set of driver:
open "device management"→"IDE ATA/ATAPI controller"→"NVIDIA nForce2 ATA Controller"→"secondary channel", and discycle "Let BIOS select transfer mode", then click "X" above right window to close the window. Now the bug sender coming out.

The components are:
Abit NF7(the latest BIOS, 2.6)
PIONEER 120S-DVD ROM(secondary channel)

Which driver Leon? 5.10 or 5.03 remix?

classic_leon · Sep 19, 2004, 04:03 PM

5.10 driver.
You are using very good ram, i think you can set them to be 2-3-3-5.

It will work well and be not hot.

Try the 5.03's

kelston · Sep 19, 2004, 08:06 PM

Actually the guy was right.

He asked for a "working" link to the 5.03 remix. I've tried clicking the link multiple times and can never get there. "Server returned extended information."

Oh well.

Here's a place you can get the drivers individually and make your own "remix".

Thanks, The Neon Cowboy and Kelston. I have had the driver.
