I have just used the one built into the old nVidia control panel. text/html 2006-12-19T07:22:24-05:00 TamTheBam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465870 <br /> Ah right ok. You mentioned Riva Tuner I didn't realise this was the same thing i thought<br /> Riva was 3rd party software. I've just started using nTune for first time. I've never really<br /> used any other software on my GPU before to be honest text/html 2006-12-19T02:08:20-05:00 CrAsHnBuRnXp http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465832 Tam-the-Bam said: <div class="quote"><b>Crash</b> you can montor the temps etc if you download load the nTune fromnvidia <img src="/images/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"></div><br /> I know.

I have found<br /> a way though to get the hotkeys back tho, and the only way to do this is by installing<br /> nVidia nTune. From there you can get the Nview control panel.<br /> For G70's and below, these options are still within the drivers.<br /> <br /> I ran the 8800 Demos tonight (Frog &amp; Adrienne) and this is where I seen the bottle neck<br /> happen for firsdt time on my current rig. Tomorrow when I build my Duo Rig, the<br /> demos will be the first thing I'll run to see how much of a difference there is<br /> <br /> Adrianne &amp; Froggy! <a class="ext" href="/action/r/http://www.putfile.com/phuxache1972" target="_blank">http://www.putfile.com/phuxache1972</a><br /> <br /> Tam...<br /> <br /> <b>Crash</b> you can montor the temps etc if you download load the nTune from<br /> nvidia <img src="/images/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"><br /> <br /> <i>PS: Payton, I totally dig ur webpage!

The version of Rivatuner I had didn't support the G80 series and the old control panel was not there either. I doubt coolbits is able to detect the G80 anyway. Then again, I may be wrong. After all this happened, I realized that there was a new version of Rivatuner that supports the G80. I mainly want the old control panel back so I can monitor the temp the card easier. Otherwise, Im stuck with nTune. text/html 2006-12-19T00:39:13-05:00 Adam Kolak http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465810 Can't stand the new Nvidia control panel either. Its a pain just trying to find simple settings and such. text/html 2006-12-19T00:36:49-05:00 CrAsHnBuRnXp http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465809 Tam,<br /> <br /> I forgot to mention. I did manage to test a couple of games. DoW, Dow: DC, and HMBM. The DoW games are easy to max out on, but HMBM is a resource hog and I have the entire game at max settings *1280x1024 screen res* and I can run the game at ~50FPS. Thats full AA and AF. text/html 2006-12-18T05:11:02-05:00 Maestro http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465684 Yer that card is a beast. My dad just spent a fortune (about 2K AU$) on a pair of 8800GTXs. Although Im not sure If I would have recommended it or not. I mean, hes got a decent CPU (AM2 4600+), but I would assume anything short of a FX-62 or E6800 would be a bottleneck...lol doesnt matter he still thrashes my pc lol.<br /> <br /> Take Care..<br /> Oh btw, I HATE THAT PANEL TOO. Just thought id part with that <img src="/images/smilies/smile3.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":D" title=":D"><br /> text/html 2006-12-18T04:57:01-05:00 CrAsHnBuRnXp http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465681 Tam,<br /> <br /> I really havent had the time to test out the new card yet. I doubt I will until Christmas. I am working all this week (except for Tuesday and I got stuff to do then) and they are all 8hr shifts. But Ill make some kick ass tips though. <img src="/images/smilies/smile1.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":)" title=":)"> text/html 2006-12-18T04:51:51-05:00 CrAsHnBuRnXp http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465679 Damn. I hate this new control panel. They better put the old one back in in future drivers.<br /> <br /> Payton,<br /> <br /> The only thing I have on that left panel is Launch page. That is it. <img src="/images/smilies/smile2.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":(" title=":("> Damn you nVIDIA!!! text/html 2006-12-17T13:03:31-05:00 Shadow_Ops_Airman1 http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465520 they are doing the same thing ATI did, only way to get it is from a Third Party Revival Group. text/html 2006-12-17T10:47:53-05:00 angryhippy http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465508 On my system I can open the nvidia control panel or the nvidia nview desktop manager from the control panel. The desktop manager has a hot keys tab. You can't use that?, or is it not listed with your drivers text/html 2006-12-17T10:35:55-05:00 TamTheBam http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465505 Actually no you can't Crash! It's gone on our 8800 drivers. Personally, I think the <br /> new panel sucks big time. I don't like it! On the old panel I could set up hot keys for<br /> my gamma, etc. That's all gone too. I'm not happy about this new panel. <br /> Drivers for G70's still have the optional old panel though <img src="/images/smilies/smile2.gif" width="14" height="14" border="0" alt=":(" title=":("><br /> <br /> <br /> How you getting on with your card anyways? It's a beast isn't it! I'm well happy with mine! text/html 2006-12-17T10:25:03-05:00 angryhippy http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#465502 If you go to display properties/settings tab/then open the GPU tab a pop out panel opens on the left. On the right you see the Start the nvidia control panel. On the left it should say launch page, and Control panel user interface. Click on the interface one and a new window should open giving you the option to use the new nVidia control panel, or the classic control panel which is what you want. text/html 2006-12-17T08:40:54-05:00 CrAsHnBuRnXp http://www.hardwareanalysis.com/content/topic/63994/#0 I cant figure out how to get the old nVidia control panel to display. Can you even get the old control panel in the G80 cards? The G80 cards have different drivers than the DX10 cards. I hate the &quot;new&quot; nVidia control panel and would like to go back to the old if possible. Thanks.
