Remote control ?? :shock: As in "we're assuming something in your particular config is causing the problem" ??

All they need do is invest $1k in hardware and the problems would become immediately apparent to them.

So true :/

hum, this driver doesnt work with 9800gx2 -.- well i guess there is no other solution as to wait until a matrox fix is released? the nvidia driver archive got as oldest driver an 175.19 for my card....

Take the .inf from a known working driver and copy the 2 lines relating to the 9800gx2 into it, should work, the drivers are mostly unified and I do that to use the latest driver on a laptop/mobile part which is rarely included.

example:
2 lines from new driver, lines of the GTX 260:
%NVIDIA_GT200.DEV_05E2.1% = nv_GT2x, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_05E2

NVIDIA_GT200.DEV_05E2.1 = "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260"

2 changed lines, to detect an NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI as a GTX260

%NVIDIA_GT200.DEV_05E2.1% = nv_GT2x, PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_084D

NVIDIA_GT200.DEV_05E2.1 = "NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI"

I used an example not that I've done but from a .inf I had on this laptop, gaming rig's offline atm.

The first line is the important part, it detects your existing card, 2nd is just so it's name appears correctly.

So you'd take the PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_05E2 part on a working driver for the 9800gx2 and place it say, in place of the PCIVEN_10DE&DEV_05E2 for a 9800GT. Change the corresponding 9800GT 2nd line to name it, but it's optional.

hum, this driver doesnt work with 9800gx2 -.- well i guess there is no other solution as to wait until a matrox fix is released? the nvidia driver archive got as oldest driver an 175.19 for my card....

Sorry about that, obviously I could not test it on mine. Just google about and see what you can find. Lots of file sharing and IT websites hold copies of old drivers so just keep trying.
The result I sent was just the first one I came across in a google search :)

Well i did in fact manage to install 177.41 with changing the nv_disp.inf but the driver does not activate the higher ws resolutions.
i can see the resolutions in my th2go, but there is a "no" in the column of "supported"...
thanks alot for your advice, i will wait a little and keep reading here, hope that sometime this will be fixed. tried out the 177.41 with changed inf, the 175.19, 175.16, 178.13, 178.24, 180.42.
well there are some other i could try of the 174.xy but i am a lil sleepy of this installation marathon. maybe later :) so ill play at 3840*800 for a while :S

Just called MAtrox. Basically the line is we wait until they release a new GXM...grrrrr I want 180 drivers!

Thanks for being a pain in their butts :lol: Hopefully they've taken good notice that the "new" GXM they sent you doesn't help at all, so they're working on a real improved/fixed version of the software.

I'm be surprised if Matrox didn't have one high-end setup running Vista64 with 8GB, Tril-SLI, etc.

I mean - to use these resolutions, you really need a monster rig anyway to push all those pixels. That's pretty much their target market.

Anyway, are there any performance advantages from the 180.43's, aside from Physx?
