I...hate...Nvidia

Since this is an Nvidia hate thread, let me just voice my immense dislike of the new Nvidia control panel. Yes I know we can get the old one back, but this is such a bad concept it puzzles me why Nvidia is pushing it on new users…

According to my pet Nvidia employee, it's because people that weren't "hardcore gamers" didn't understand the old one. They tried to make the new one easy for everyone to use.

And failed.

Do you get these glitches as soon as you start the game or after a while? If you're getting garbled graphics some time after you've started the game, it's probably your graphics card overheating. Get an overclocking utility, such as Riva Tuner, and lower the core and memory frequencies a bit (say 10-20 MHz, or a bit more). If the glitches persist, you might even have a defect graphics card sitting in your system. If they go away, consider adding a fan to your graphics card (even if it has one, they sometimes don't deliver) and a couple of intake and outtake fans in your computer case (i.e. one intake fan at the front below the hard disks, and one outtake at the back, under your power supply unit). Intel processors+nVidia graphics cards=mini-barbeques, as I've stated in more than one occasions before!

I get these glitches after a while when I upgrade the driver
I will get riva tuner and try to do that ONCE! I have gotten the glitches so that I can see if its the problem

Giggy:
okay now how do you lower the memory frequencies and such!

LK:
It's gotta be the driver.  I have the same card and it works fine--and I haven't updated since I don't know when. 

Don't know what to tell you other than: Save the downloaded drivers to a special folder so if you need to roll back (you say it's tough to do this time around) you'll have previous ones you can install after uninstalling the newest one.
