View Full Version : Nvidia 178.13 drivers not working with ATI Tool .26

So my 8800 gtx couldn't pass 10 seconds of ATI tool artifact scan at any setting with the new 178.13 drivers. So I finally went back and installed the previous drivers 175.19 and could pass more then an hour of ATI Tool before I stopped it and even overclocked to 612/1020 and passed 20 minutes of it before I stopped it.

This leads me to believe that the new 178.13 nvidia drivers can no longer function correctly with ATI Tool ( it also doesn't overclock on mine when I try to use ATI Tool, I just get a flashing blue screen ). I need someone with these drivers to help confirm my findings. Thank you, and sorry if this seems like a 2nd post on the same subject, I thought it was important enough to make a new thread about, since it may mean my 8800 gtx is not as defective as I thought it was.

I had a lot of problems with the 178.13 drivers and my 8800 GT. Dropped my Furmark scores by about 500 points and had random freezes and artifacts in PCmark06 at stock speeds. Went back to the 177.92 drivers problems gone.

ati tool is working fine with my 178.13 on my 9800GTX and i have 0.26 of ati tool. i haven't checked to see if it dropped my 3dmark scores though.

The latest stable ati tool is still .26, http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/

the .27 is the beta
