I'll need an Experienced Users to test something out on the 950, on a
Windows 7 x64 OS, and also available.

[IronyTaken]

Darn I only have Windows ultimate 32 bit.

[Espionage724]

So is this a normal intel driver package, only with a modded inf file?

[lolattheotherguy]

rofl i just gave up a few weeks ago and installed 32bit win7, if this
works (i mean opengl) ill go back to 64bit.

[NeoDragon]

This is the latest driver package with a modded .inf yes.
It also contains the proper .reg file and instructions to use it
inside.

The OpenGL does indeed work, I've tested myself. Full OpenGL 1.5 with
partial 2.0 and GLSL 1.1

Neo did u merged Sigma 2 with the new inf?

what i mean... are Sigma 3.0 files based on Sigma 2 with a new inf.
or are those files not comming from Sigma 2?

[NeoDragon]

Well, I've used a couple of tweaks from Sigma 2, but the only file
changed is the .inf , all the rest is Intel Latest

[solidsnakey123]

Well, I tested it on BF2142 last night. It's hard to say, but I think
I gained a 5 fps increase. Im running 19-50fps on low with medium
textures and full view. I'm very impressed. It definitely is
smoother. Im also using the "2" input on the tnl, and I think that is
the best config. Ill test some other games later.

neodragon u familar with SVN?

[NeoDragon]

Lol of course I'm familiar with Svn ;)

[Espionage724]

Care if your inf file is uploaded to the sourceforge SVN? incase
anyone else on the team finds any new changes and stuff? I uploaded my
XP inf to the SVn already

[NeoDragon]

Do whatever you want with it, I don't mind at all.

[MAD_BEAST]

GREAT TO HEAR SIGMA 3 is doing GREEEAT!

is it iploaded to the 9xx site?

[MAD_BEAST]

well i mean is it together with the other drivers on the lists?

[Espionage724]

what are these drivers based off of? Like if I went to download center
on intel's site, which link was it lol? I imagine Seires 4, Windows 7?

--
Espionage724 Has A Signature...

[Espionage724]

also should these be named Sigma 3? Wouldn't that throw off the
numbering system a bit? Like I thought the 1 series meant x86 and 2
series meant x64? What about like SIgma 2.1?

[NeoDragon]

Nah, I"m working with "good version numbers" . A software doesn't have
2-3 version numbers just for a 32 or 64 bit.


Here's the 32bit version of the driver for Windows 7.

IT IS NOT TESTED YET as I have a 64bit system.

Sigma 3.0 32bit

[NeoDragon]

Oh and , I still need feedback for both 32 and 64 bit versions ,
Thanks!

[Espionage724]

So do these 100% surpass the Sigma 2?

[NeoDragon]

Yes, else they wouldn't be called 3.0 but 2.1 :)

[Espionage724]

True, i do see now....

[NeoDragon]

You tried them yet?! :) Oh no that's right you're a 950 user ;)

[Espionage724]

/cry

lol

[NeoDragon]

By the way, is OpenGL working on the 950 with Windows 7 x64 ?

[DanielPK]

we need more feedback before i put them on the 9xxssf site...will this
work on 950 x86? or its just for 965? am gonna test then *fingers
crossed for no BSOD* :D

[NeoDragon]

It's the Intel 965 package.

You can easely know If it's gonna install or not just by using the
setup.exe ;)

[DanielPK]

hmmmmm....*puppy eyes* will there be a 950 version :D

[DanielPK]

hmmmm...the installer did start! :S and it gave me no "your system
doesn't meet the requirements" am gonna go on and install
it...*fingers crossed* XD

[NeoDragon]

Please know tho that some of the tweaks I've did will no be available
for the other devices that are not the 965. You will get a few tho ;)

[Espionage724]

Inf is on the SVN btw :)

The first driver you released, its x64 right?

[NeoDragon]

Yup yup. 2nd one is the 32bit version. Both for Windows 7, do not use
with Vista as it might bsod ( haven't tested, but some work was done
to make the drivers work more "natively" in Windows 7, hence the
Working OpenGL

[DanielPK]

i just installed it, and reporting installation success :) no BSOD no
nothing...and i actually did notice a huge FSP increase on NFS7 and
NFS8 *i just love old games* the FPS increase happened when i used the
"2" drowd value...so Congratzzzzzz man :D good job ^^ am gonna test
more "openGL" games and report later :)

[Espionage724]

I might recommend a 950GMA user with Wow to try it out with the "2"
value lol. That value seems to be gaining a lot of popularity recently
lol

--
Espionage724 Has A Signature...

[Botanika]

thx for the new driver, what games profit from the improvement them

I will test it tomorrow (its 5:06 am here) and I'll post results,
thank you =)

[DanielPK]

not really a WoW fan...but i'll try it, do u have any idea which one i
should get?? damn lots of expansions...

[Espionage724]

Umm, I'd get WotLK just so you have access to all content lol.

But if your trying WoW for the first time, they have a trial thing you could do.


Also I guess a 965 user could try the "2" setting if they use SET
vertexshaders "0" in their config.wtf file (so then it would be on the
same area as the 950GMA in performance maybe)

[AngelicTears]

sorry for not joining this conversation...heh...^^

i finally did some testing with the 32bit bersion and i was impressed, literally ^^...

first impression is, my contrast improve (very good for an old LCD display) and also font rendering improve, although i have to calibrate again my cleartype setting, but overall interface looks good with this driver....

as for gaming, i intend to make a full in depth testing with ur driver Neo, and hope u'll wait for the results ^^

and if it's ok with u, i want to make some changes to make it work best with my system if it's ok with u Neo bro ..^^

overall, this is a very good release driver and problem free atm, good production value also as it improves windows 7 interface rendering... A Very good job indeed ^^

[MiiHay]

So what exactly are the changes for 32 bit ?

[NeoDragon]

@Angelic :
Thanks for the more throughout feedback, really appreciate it ;) .
I'll be waiting for the game testing for sure, If you can confirm to
me that OpenGL has work for you I'd appreciate even more! Feel free to
make any changes you want, I don't mind at all.

@MiiHay

In-depth info for that won't be available "publicly" for a little
moment. There's so many wannabe's out there that just claim whatever
work their work and I'd like WAY more feedback before releasing info.
I do have a bit more idea's to make it even better and people screwing
around will just discourage me... I DID had to ban a user yesterday in
relation to that and don't want to have to ban more ;)


Keep the feedback's coming, the more the better as I can have more in-
depth info of your experience with it. I do test ALOT and troubleshoot
everything before sharing with other users but I only have one laptop
with 1 device in it! The more devices ( therefore devices ID ) I get
feedback from, the more I can push it for you :)

[DanielPK]

one thing am still confused abt is...how to use the new "reg" file??
one game for every entry..or same game for all entries??

[TanCH]

does this driver works on GMA950?

[THEfog .]

You know what, due to me not paying attention modding my laptop lately, I think I'm still on Win7 v1.1MD lol should probably upgrade my MD to alpha 1, that was it for 32bit 950 I'm pretty sure, ill check it out tomoz. Jeez with all this talk of SVN and OpenGL I'm actually feeling the urge to research again as I'm not familiar on those two topics, pretty much anything else at all to do with computers (both hardware and software) I'm knoledgable in but these two subjects in particular I'm not.

Nah man I don't, its kind of a prototype tester for alot my ingenious (in other words crazy) and often disasterous ideas, that way I don't have to risk it on my high end Quad-core machine which I use for gaming/work and what not.

The reg file is easy to use... 1 game at a time , change all ~hon.exe
value to your game exe.

[NeoDragon]

I want more feedback!! ;)
Who knows, with a bit more feedback/testing the drivers might achieve
KingPin's drivers Status! ;)

[Oscar Lundqvist]

Well i tested the drivers by playing an episode of legend of the seeker in 720p, before i had a little stuttering and maybe some hanging at around 30 min but now i had two lags in the beginning and then nothing more, so playing high def is a go :)

[NeoDragon]

That's nice to hear! =)

well I tested the driver, I'm reporting results

bioshock : failed to start T.T(mb the new driver is not compatible
with the shaders change I apllied to the game)
Prince of pesria 08 : gained 4-7 fps
dead space : runs now with mid setting smooth as silk =)
sfIV : gained 5-7 fps
l4d2 : gained 2-4 fps
league of legend : removed some of the slutters I had on mid settings
Dota : runs the same as before
starcraft 2 : No improvement at all (this is the game, that I need the
most)
pes10: cant really notice the improvement, cuz even with stock drivers
the game runs always with 30+fps
mirror's edge : 17-25 fps with my modded config file (it looks really
good =))
portal : cant notice any improvement as the game was running good with
sigma 2.0
nfs mw : the same as portal
Oblivion/fallout 3: those are the games that profit the most of the
driver and new reg tweak(oblivions Runs very smooth, fallout 3 gained
about 7-10 fps, even if I enable hdr)

overall oblivion and fallout are the best games to try with sigma 3
and new reg tweak, thank you Neodragon for this driver =)
btw how to know if opengl is now active ?

ps : sorry about my noob english T.T

[Espionage724]

Looks like I shall give Windows 7 another try....

[Oscar Lundqvist]

@Botanika When playing Oblivion what settings are we talking about here, also did you use the secret nr 2 or just 1 to force softwaare in add reg?

[Botanika]

I used value "2", for ingame settings, I used costume settings and it
looks very good

I have used some performance mods(not oldblivion)? if u want I can
deliver some screenshots.

Look online for tweakguides.com, they have heaps of guides availble for tweaking the .ini files for oblivion and fallout 3. Trust me this will give you a HUGE performance boost if you follow it properly.

THEfog

[hussam aulaian]

@THEfog : u r totaly right
guys , they hav amazing guides

[DanielPK]

there is this option when we check the settings of the GMA950...under
Display settings>>>>Power Settings.

Power saving and performance settings...changing that to "Disable
power saving" has made a huge FPS increase for some of the games i
play...but with the side effect or more heat :( ...also if u click on
"Modify Settings" you get another window with (intel rapid memory
power management) and (intel smart 2D display technology) do any of
these settings affect game/pc performance??

Subscription settings: http://groups.google.com/group/intel9x-gaming/subscribe?hl=en

[IronyTaken]

I don't see it.

I went into my display settings under the graphics options and didn't
see it.

[Espionage724]

Hmm, what drivers were Sigma 2 based on? Series 4? These drivers are
based on the 965 drivers, and that might explain the boost in
performance for most people

--
Espionage724 Has A Signature...

[DanielPK]

-select "Screen resolution" from the desktop properties.
-click on "Advanced Settings"
-go to the driver tab and click graphic properties
-go to Display settings tab
-click on power settings and you should find a "Slider"

if u want more heat set to "Disable power saving" else try "Good power
saving"

experiment with different settings...i get more FPS but with sacrifice
to more heat generated :( maybe you'll have different luck!

[AngelicTears]

hmm, i always disable power savings for my 950 after each installation/upgrade in my system...

and i didnt notice any heat increase, maybe a little but it's worthed for some performance increase...

oh and btw, i down graded to V1.1 (it's getting old i know ^^) but sigma 3.0 causes some instability in my in depth testing, also i need to compare both driver....oh and im doing some experiment on making BF2 run on 950...kinda fell in love with this game and im dying to make it run...lol..

[DanielPK]

i guess its only me :( with the C2D running, its already heating
up...and now disabling power saving..maybe it made things
worse...lol :D am done with my semester now, and now am working to get
a nice gaming laptop :D i have a PC already, but its always at
home..and my bros use it most of the time...so i need POWER
portability :P hahahaha...BF2 is awesome man :D i love that
game...hmmmm...abt the in depth testings...where to do that? :)
benchmarking tools? or something else!?

[Espionage724]

Just wondering but what exactly was changed in the INF for a 965 user?
The only value I see that may be changed is just memory.

Also with Sigma, I don't see what was changed with that to make it not
support OpenGL. Unless a different driver base was used.

Just trying to understand is all :) it might aid the drivers I'm
experimenting with.

Daniel: Try cleaning the area around the vent! Mine was full with dust
and it got hot in no time. Once ive cleaned the vent its back to
normal!
Maybe its not the case with u, just a tip.

[Espionage724]

And maybe try some new thermal paste, OCZ Freeze is cheap and worked
very well for me

--
Espionage724 Has A Signature...

[IronyTaken]

I don't have that feature listed.

This is what I have.

http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t276/RyviusRanger/display.png

[DanielPK]

@lolattheotherguy & Espi

guys thanx for the tips...but i don't think its about dusting or
anything like that...its abt the voltage of my C2D and the voltage my
mobo supports...hmmmm...i think one is higher than the other...which
means its the CPU XD so thats why its generating the heat..couple of
days ago i did full dust blowing with a thin-tip compressed air...got
all the dust out, and the thermal paste is still fine i see :)

@irony....thats strange o_0...are u using windows7 ?? because i found
this settings under this OS..maybe..also, are u using Neo's driver?

[Espionage724]

Well Neo's drivers have the same CPL as a 945 driver with stock 7 drivers

Espionage724 Has A Signature...

[NeoDragon]

@ Angelic : Instability?!?! Give me more info , cause the source of
instability might be coming from something else than that, mine is
working pretty perfect for a week now....

[AngelicTears]

im not saying that it's bad ^^ sorry for not detailing the info..

yeah, it's pretty stable in everyday usage, and it is a great work by u..period, 

the instability comes from some of the testing i use...and not basic testing in gaming,,

some of the result are:

- WinSAT configuration are instable in my system, first run winSAT gives great result with aero performance, but i want to do more with winsat setting, it is instable when i enable experimental GDI which support both CPU and GPU rendering on windows interface, but it causes the GDI to lock up and stuck at windows basic themes, but for normal GDI, its working great..

- Adobe AIR 2.0, some of my application which uses the GPU as rendering tool cant work properly, as my testing goes...and other MD except V1.1 cause the same error, but its not a big deal as Adobe AIR is not being use daily...

 i will give some more info later as im in rush now...and i will give some tips for ur inf's structure and some of the codes that might be useful ..later ^^

[IronyTaken]

I use Windows 7 and I downloaded the Alpha drivers from the site.

http://9xxssf.info/downloads/

[NeoDragon]

As of today I'll be a bit less here, my new job is starting tomorrow
( believe it or not, I plant tree's in the spring/summer, so your kids
can actually have some air to breathe... and it's good for my wallet
too XD ) but I'll stop by everynow and then to see what's going on.
Keep the idea's coming and in order, cause I already have some good
idea's for the next Drivers :). Don't expect them until Intel release
an official updated driver package first tho, as we need them to fix
some of the **** work they're known to be doing.

Oh, and make sure you try Sigma 3.0 !!! =)

[Espionage724]

Hmm, does anyone here remember when MAD_BEAST said that we only had 1
spot for new drivers? Since updates for older drivers isn't allowed,
doesn't that mean that its now taken up by Sigma 3.0?

--
Espionage724 Has A Signature...

[NeoDragon]

I don't think so :)

[Gerard]

installed on 950, but installer doesn't work. With new .reg l4d is
playable!

[mysterio]

is it safe to say this is the best mod for 64bit win 7 neo

[Espionage724]

your saying L4D runs better with these drivers then Alpha?

I barely noticed a difference in inf files when compared to Alpha.
Thats just me though. But was was changed 965 and 945 users? Like what
inf settings?

[Gerard]

The drivers were actually worse. The new .reg is what is great lol.

[DanielPK]

@Irony:

bro, i manage the site, and the links are UPDATED "i haven't included
Sigma 3.0 YET as we still need more testings" but..am not sure at
all..that is pretty strange :S

@Everyone:

Sigma 3.0 INSTALLED fine under my following specs:

Windows7 x86 7600 OEM
T5500 core 2 duo
3GB Ram
GMA950 "Sigma 3.0"

and ever since last week, my laptop's been running fine..though, the
only performance increase i found was under NFS7/8...i tested OpenGL
under CS 1.6 and the game still lags like **** :( am getting CS:S and
WoW to do more testings.

The new IMPROVED "reg" tweak is giving lots of performance increase
indeed...now i was gonna test the "reg" tweak on Alpha drives to see
if the Sigma 3.0 really is better with or without this "reg" tweak but
i didn't have the time :( i'll be trying it ASAP.

Also...i've got a problem running two games "NOT BECAUSE OF THE
DRIVER" CS 1.6 exits suddenly after like 2-3 minutes of game
play...and it doesn't just happen once or twice...i get bored of
trying it again and again....and again...unless i set HL.exe to a HIGH
CPU PRIORITY...the game would keep on CTD now and then....also, L4D
seems to be giving me quite the trouble too...just after the game
reaches the loading part it also goes to CTD, re-installed it many
times...but still same ****...if anybody have idea on how to fix the
issues, i'd really appreciate it :)

[NeoDragon]

@Gerard : These are 965 Drivers.... I told people that they might
wanna try, but It's not a 100% sure that you're gonna be able to
install it under the 950 ( or for the matter get all the tweaks )

@DanielPk: Play with the 3DSettings in the intel control Panel. I
found that using the "Driver memory footprint" in low usually gives
you a good boost for opengl . Might wanna try putting Asynchronous on
( V-Sync ) wich should help quite a bit too.

[Espionage724]

But wait? Nobody still never answered what was changed in the INF lol.
because in theroy, 965 users could use Alpha drivers and still get the
same performance as sigma 3.

I'mma go find out for myself what Sigma 2 was based on here...

[NeoDragon]

As I said earlier , info on that won't be released to public just
yet ;) . But, I'm kinda ashamed that you can't see what's changed by
yourself.....

[Espionage724]

Well i only quickly analyzed the INF but now I guess ill do a more
indeph look :p

[Espionage724]

In the x86 versions of the Sigma 3 and 965 package from intel, the
only difference is

- Async option
- Memory
- Named drivers

theres a few other minor changes, I'll find em later

[Espionage724]

Differences are inside the DOC file of the 965 stock vs Sigma 3 (x86)

[Espionage724]

Recommended to just download the .doc instead of trying to use google
viewer or HTML to view.

Changes are in green, deleted is in red. Or maybe added is in green,
idk

No deleted is red with a cross through it, and then next to it is the
changed character. Green is added.

Its only EC not EC 6, also this is the quick 32bit one I've did ;) .
The one I sent you personally added another 2 function specially for
your Device ID.

You used a program to actually check the changed things...... -_-

Well I probably would of missed the Score thing and the async thing :p
Plus i now know that such a program exists.

Anyway, if it boosts performance for others, then I guess thats cool,
I just wanted to know what was exactly changed to try to use it on my
XP MD.

Also if I heard correctly, I think this actually might count as a
driver by itself, which means it would of taken up that one driver
spot we had.

lol, espi, im curious juz like u are, but i dont have much free time nowadays....

there are certain different from my V1.1 though...

ofcoz the names change, async thngy, and others mention in ur doc, but im not seeing the the Message Signaled Interrupt being enabled in Sigma 3....and some features that i need to find in depth (lol, in depth or word of the WEEK LOL)..

[Espionage724]

lol :p

[NeoDragon]

The MSI was "re-added" on the x64( it was removed by Intel themself in
the x64 ) but not enabled. It actually decreased performance and added
a few lag spike so I decided not to enable it for this release until I
or someone else found a way to make it work like it should (Something
your little program didn't catch up because you've checked the 32-bit
version wich I haven't test AT ALL.

Well if you want me to check the 64-bit version as well... then so be it :p

Exact same changes almost, only difference is the MSI thing, which
doesn't exist in the stock inf, but its in the sigma3 (but its
disabled).

But if I'm correct, then the only thing these drivers do is change
something with SViO (or whatever its called), HDMI Timings, and some
Async thing.

And if I also read right, the Async thing just disables vertical sync.

I could be wrong though...

[AngelicTears]

Async disable v-sync directly from install, same result can be achieved by adjusting the setting in openGL 3D setting, *maybe*

as for the 64bit, yeah, MSI doesnt work well with MSI enabled, my V1.1 64-bit also doesnt include that, as 64 bit bandwidth are optimized enough for performance...32bit on the other hand need MSI to achieved the same result...but something im curious about, how that Neo's driver actually improves windows 7 GDI rendering (font, aero, etc)

i stand by what i said before, this IS a good driver, i juz dont know how u did it Neo ^^
