Nvidia driver problems

i have a geforce 4ti and i downloaded and installed the latest drivers, now when i maximize a viewport in maya i dont see anything till i drag my mouse and select an object and then i can see it, anyone know why this is happening, i installed the old drivers again and it works fine.

Believe it or not, I'm still sticking with 30.82 drivers, for three reasons:

1. they were AW certified drivers (doesn't mean all too much, I know) :thumbsup:
2. they can be SoftQuadroed... user added image
3. they are stable! :headbang:

I'm using a GF4 TI4600.

agreed, Nvidia does a Blanket Driver which covers multiple cards. In doing this, they create a driver that isnt specificly built well.

I use 43.51's and they work great. 30.82's are good but they gave me problems with my dual monitors.

What kind of problems did you experience?

Only that i had cable plugged into my machine and couldn't get the brightness on my second monitor to increase using the overlay controls in the nvidia tab. Workes fine most other drivers.

I bought the entry level quadro 750 and installed every nvidia driver relased from 30.x 43.X and 45.x with directx 8 (for the 30.x) and then dx9a for test. No problem with maya 5.01
