Installing Fiesty on a Quadro 280NVS [nvidia quadro] [nvidia]

admin — Mon, 28 Feb 2011 15:13:28 +0000

Q: So yes, I heard Fiesty came yesterday and I had an extra PC sitting around doing nothing, so I thought I will install and give it a try.

Everything went smoothly, but now Im trying to install / enable my ancient nVidia Quadro 280NVS. Ive searched all the forums talking about different cards, and I was wondering what I could do?

If I use the drivers limited use, does not allow me to go back to x (or whatever the GUI is called .)

Any ideas? a word of warning: If you help me

Just, you can be for the long haul . took me 5 minutes yesterday just looking for my MAC address: -/

Thanks for any help

Re:I had the PCI address of my video card set wrong (it was at default) but after that it's working great.

Which is why you shouldn't put it in there at all, unless you have multiple cards using the same driver and want different options for them there's no reason to specify the PCI address as X will find it just fine on it's own.

Re:Figured it out…actually, the Quadro 280 NVS is covered with the new drivers. I had the PCI address of my video card set wrong (it was at default) but after that it's working great. The system (P3 Coppermine 1GHz, 512MB SDRAM) can't really handle Desktop Effects or Beryl, unless anybody knows of any tweaks I can do…

i think this is a pretty good buy for him, but before I buy it I want to know what you think, or if there is a better deal for him

Re:he has a lcd already and he doesnt store alot but it would be nice for him to store some music i think a nice 80 gig or 160 gig external would be perfect for him also !

Re:If he wants to burn dvd's maybe he'll want to store some as well. Ask him if he's into any kind of media. I was thinking, good overall price…You could take a step down to the sempron though as mentioned before. THat will be plenty. I was thinking maybe more storage…120gb or 160gb hard drive.

brb…finding something.

Looks all good to me though. Just tried to build one cheaper if not around the same price but with what that's god included(like OS), it's a darn good deal. I'll give you that. If your friend can spring for like $800 or save up for just a little while longer though, he can get a fully loaded pc with LCD and what not i'm sure. But whatyou got there is a good deal.

Re:i think that and a nice external hardrive would be perfect for him

i was thinking about sempron also but the amd 64 will be better poformance for him

Re:The price is pretty good for what you get. If you can build one you can go a lot cheaper to meet his needs – a Socket 754 Sempron 2800+ is more than fast enough.

You can usually get a Dell Celeron-D for around that price with a 17" LCD. It will be a Celeron-D, but those are not too bad.

Overall, not a bad deal on the Athlon 3200+, though.

Re:could u build one for him? or he wants the warranty?

Re:That's not a bad deal, but you might get something a bit better if you go through hp.com.

Re:That's a nice computer for normal everyday tasks, web surfing and burning DVDs, it's also nice price for it.

get a blank video signal, while using my computer. [video signal] [nvidia]

admin — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 09:01:05 +0000

Q: get a blank video signal, while using my computer.

I m running the latest drivers from Nvidia denenator. I have Windows XP. Any idea?

Re:If safe mode works, it's a case of bad drivers.

-SUO

Re:Could you elaborate further on your problem? I was getting blank screens a few times a week on my 2yo Sony monitor with an nVIDIA card. After a few weeks, the monitor died.

Re:How did you install the newest drivers if you get no video signal?

Re:Double check screensaver.

Double check power-saving features — on monitor and within Windows.

Replace computer to monitor cable.

If problem persists replace video card.

Re:it's not the cable or the board. The cable is secured.

Re:Double check cable.

Double check video card in motherboard is secure.

I'm curious. Nvidia and ATI are allies, or devils? [fiends] [nvidia]

Q: I mean by this as the owners of nVidia, or the company as a whole, hates ATI. or vice versa. The kind of annoyed me . Q

Best Answer: I have seen only one free, open-source program to make cartoons. But that program requires you to draw everything by hand.

The best (and probably only) program for what your needs is Adobe Flash. Doubt that there is a good, free alternative.

Re:I'm curious. Are nVidia and ATI allies, or fiends?

I suppose that you just left out the r in friends in your title, if so….

allies means friends…

Re:I think their suits(as in execs and salesforce mainly) don't like eachother, while the techies would probably love to drink some beer together and talk about all kinds of stuff that few other people would be able to comprehend.

And then of course both have their minions of fans that for some unfathomable reason feel some kind of emotional attachment to them.

The head dudes from ATI and NVIDIA probably drink $500 bottles of scotch and smoke $200 cigars together, both laughing at how these crazy customers buy a new video card every 6 months.

we have a winner :laugh:

Lmfao.

Re:I think they admire each other. Simply because the reason they both know that as long as they are creating new cards there are people out there that will buy them to stay as current as they can and company's are making a pretty penny off it.

Should I install nVidia IDE drivers? [nvidia]

admin — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 14:30:44 +0000

Q: I hear they are good . Arent any advice?

Best Answer: If you love your Nvidia Geforce, so much,.. I would suggest installing it on your New Computer.

Most games prefer ATI Radeon and Nvidia Geforce anyways, to begin with.

But please understand, this means you need to physically install your Graphics Card. You cannot simply install the drivers without it. The drivers are intended for that specific card or a couple cards near that model.

Graphics Cards are some of the easier things to install. You line them up with a big plastic slot that only accepts those types of cards and you push it in. You may have to hook up a couple cords as well, but those usually are pretty well labeled.

The alternative is to contact Computer Stores and see if they have any cheap newer models of Nvidia Geforce that are equivalent to or better then your Intel Graphics Card. Ask them additionally if they would mind helping you install the card physically. Since Graphics Cards tend to be so easy to install ( not always but often enough) they might do it for free. Seeing your case might also help them in helping to select a card for you. Some cards require alot of physical space.

I'm going to look up the models of Graphic Cards you are dealing with to see if I can check any more details on them, such as their speed.

I would like to suggest you also be open to ATI Radeon Graphics Cards. Everything is built around ATI Radeon and Nvidia Geforce. Some times one before the other but always both before a Software, Program, or Game is released. Some Motherboards do seem to lean in favor of one or the other but they are still the very best. Randomly, a Computer Store will have specials on one or the other but not both. So I would be open to both. Just try to research the refurbished brands a little, for example you do not want any cards with "Rage" in their name. There are many brands that stole the cards, many brands that refurbished the cards, and some models that ATI and Nvidia made that Epic Failed with Rage in their name. They are a waste of money that will damage other hardware in your computer and also are not compatible with anything.

Added: Okay, I've been trying to research. The i865G is mostly found on Micro ATA. This means small motherboards and like-wise small computers. Because of their size it is difficult or impossible to put in Graphics Cards.

All the reviews on the i865G are, to sum up, Ranting. They are said to look good on 2D graphics, but 3D is bad, horrible, or impossible. I can't find the memory on the i865G but because it's integrated, it's just going to be a major drain on your normal Memory. The Nvidia Geforce 6200 is shown as 64 and 128 ( I do not know if you have either of those or a 256.. because some times the highest memory isn't listed).

I want to point out something,.. Motherboards with i865G are discontinued. Motherboards with i865G 2 are in the process of being discontinued. Is there any particular reason why you selected your new computer? ( Any chance you can return it? >.< ) Granted I don't know how long you have had it, but you are dealing with something that's likely 5-years old or made out of parts that companies had to get rid of.. quickly.

[Your graphics card is very old at this point as well. I would suggest getting atleast a 256 memory,.. more realisticly a 512 memory. Modern 512 mb memory cards can take up alot of room though because they have better cooling systems.]

Re:Well the SATA drivers for the nForce 4 are not that bad… If you don't mind you computer hanging at the windows startup screen with no reasoning whatsoever for 40 seconds.

Select "Always Hide"
Click OK

Slick, thanks for that.

Re:oh, well i meant the nvidia audio mixer. i do have onboard disabled in my BIOS

Re:Originally posted by: Heen05
now i guess i should ask if i should UNINSTALL nvidia audio? i accidentally installed it. so far i dont like it. i feel like its not taking use of my audigy 2 zs…idk though.

The NVIDIA sound driver has nothing to do with the Audigy. In fact you should disable the onboard unless you intend on using two soundcards. :confused:

Re:now i guess i should ask if i should UNINSTALL nvidia audio? i accidentally installed it. so far i dont like it. i feel like its not taking use of my audigy 2 zs…idk though.

Re:I've installed them on all of my systems/upgrades. Never a problem I could attribute to them. I did some benchmark testing a while back vs the MS drivers… I think the Nvidia ones turned out to be just a very slight amount slower, but that likely wouldn't be noticeable in most usage, plus it wasn't a scientific test or anything like that.

Search around if you need more info on this, but really it can go both ways and you'll spend an hour reading back and forth arguments. I'd say do it and if any problems arise from it, simply select to uninstall just that IDE driver and after a reboot you will have the MS IDE drivers installed.

The only thing that I don't install is the Forceware Network Access thing and that hosed firewall. But all of the drivers get installed since I've had Nforce-based motherboards.

Re:Originally posted by: guy
no problems here, just wish I could get rid of that "safely remove hardware" thing in my tray that I got from installing them.

Re:I always choose 'Yes' to install the NVIDIA SW IDE driver on all my customers pc's and my own rigs. If you have previously had problems with the NVIDIA SW IDE drivers, then during the installation process, when asked if you want to install the driver, select ?NO?. Doing so will cause windows to use the standard Microsoft driver provided with Windows. The NVIDIA SW IDE driver is not required for normal device operation.

This subject has been debated heavily over the years and the concensus seems to be flip a coin because it doesn't matter anymore since the bugs were ironed out a long time ago. The only thing that is a proven fact is that the Forceware Network Access Manager is crap.

Re:no problems here, just wish I could get rid of that "safely remove hardware" thing in my tray that I got from installing them.

Re:I had no problem with them (surprisingly). They are kind of annoying as they make any SATA drive an external, removable drive.

Re:This is a very subjective subject.

Some say their fine.
Other they suck.

You should try your luck at them. I've had no problems with the current one in Squalls unified remix driver found here:
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1446

But hey worst that happens is you just uninstall them.

Also I've had no trouble with the network drivers either and they seem to be required for me to get my network running.
So try your luck with the current ones, you don't like it stick with Microsoft's default.

Re:yeah im installing 5.11 drivers EXCEPT for the ethernet, ide, and firewall, and installing 5.10 ethernet drivers.

Re:Hell no.

/ed: and the network drivers are even worse.
