Okay - there seems to be a problem with these drivers, the 6800GT, BF2 and SGS.


The drivers try and install themselves for a SLi Rig every time without an apparent way of stopping this
Your profile may be so screwed up that you'll end up redoing it anyway in order to get BF2 to start
It will appear to be all cool and fine when you run local multiplayer or single player maps to render the shadows and reticulate splines
When you try and play online with other people you will be so laggy as make the game completely unplayable although your ping is in the low teens
People who own 7900 cards will wonder what you are on about


It sounds like this driver set should be great - I mean you can let the card do rendering, anti-aliasing, etc. Or you can let the app do it. With me it seems everyone wants to do it and even my hard drive tries to get in on the act. And nobody seems to care that I - the OWNER - wants his machine to play BF2. Anyhow - went back to the latest 84 series.

I did a complete reinstall of BF2 on top of the new drivers - it didn't work. Just lulled me into a false sense of happiness. Swine.

According to fraps, my frame rate is at around 100+.
In UT2k4 it's around 300 :p

It's weird that you're having issues with it tho.

Remove SLI Popup Balloon



For SLI users (and some non-SLI users), to disable the unnecessary popup balloon which appears telling you that you have an SLI-capable system, go to the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\MediaCenterTray] key in your Registry and set the NvCplDisableBalloonNotifications DWORD to 1 - if it doesn't exist create it.
