Well i got my 8800GTS 320mb a few days ago and i have been having problems since. I initially just uninstalled the old drivers, plugged it in and then reinstalled the new ones.
The new ones did work - but were terrible in games. At first i thought i had a dud card, but i noticed that the sound was getting stuffed up and jumping with the frame rate in games, so i figured it might be a driver issue.
Anyway i tryed installing different ones, it had no change. I tryed using Driver Cleaner, but it just stopped working after a few seconds (every time i tryed). Eventually i tryed using DC in safe mode, and then installing the drivers in safe mode and it worked!
But, that wasnt the end of it, because yesterday it then reverted back to the way it has been. I have a feeling it might be because of my dual display setup, however, i have always had 'single display performance mode' on in the nvidia control panel. I tryed cleaning and installing from safe mode again, but this time it didnt help.
Basically the difference is i could get a score of 10,000 in 3dmark when the drivers were working, but now i can only get 3,500!
I cant play any games, it looks terrible, the sound is basically reduced to stutters and the framerate is terrible. Has anyone got any ideas about what is wrong??? Im almost out of ideas.
Thanks.
