Hey guys,

What's the best graphics driver for the quadro fx770 on win7 x64?

 

Official WHQL 185.85 x64 Win 7 driver from NVidia's download site.

 

Hello,
I am considering M6400 for obvious reasons...but I was curious about doing this.

there are two, the M6400 and the M6400 covet

I went to the M6400 and was able to add upgrades to match the M6400 covet base model specs and came up with a cheaper machine. The only thing that I noticed was no camera...and I'm still not sure why I couldn't add that option. But for basically what appeared to be the same specs I had a $400 savings. I then went and did more upgrades to surpass the base model Covet.

I added the quad core processor, 4gig's of ram (2 slot for leaving the other two for later). I did down grade to the 80gb drive because I would just assume get a 500g drive from newegg. Went with the 1gig video card...better wireless card...and came to a machine that was a couple hunderd more than the base Covet.

What makes doing this a bad idea? to add just the quad core to the Covet blows the price well past what I did with the upgrades to the plain M6400.
thanks

 

oh good grief....I thought I was in the M6400 forum....sorry.

 

You're close though

 

Hey r00bin

I'm running 185.85 from nVidia and no problems yet...did you upgrade to build 7201 yet?

 

lol...happens to the best of us

 

Build 7201??? When did this happen? I'm still on 7100. But in any case, the problems I was having were due to the card down clocking. This was fixed by GoodBytes gpu program.

 

lol...yeah the 7201 is leaked through bittorrent. I installed it as an upgrade and all worked the same after, no files or apps lost or anyhting. The only thing not working after upgrade was Alcohol 52% but i was very thoughtfully informed it wouldn't by the upgrade installer
Now running Virtual Drive instead which is fully compatible with Win7 64
