What driver version are you using to run TH2G on windows 7. I am attempting to get it to work with little luck so far. I just need to know what versions are working for others.

There's another thread on this.

I just got mine working with the 182.5 drivers, nothing else has worked for me despite hours of trying.

I'm currently using 182.50 so I'm curious if anyone has gotten any of the newer ones to work?

Nope - In the last 72 hours I've tried:
180.xx MS download released : FAIL
190.56 from guru3d (reported to work) FAIL
190.57 from Nvidia developer area : FAIL
190.62 (latest( FAIL
190.89 Guru3d beta relase : FAIL
190.56 Tweaktown : FAIL

182.5 PASS -

There was a trick to getting 182.5 to even install.
Remove the driverd in device manager and reboot - then when it has it will pick up 186.xx automagically - DO NOT REBOOT > leave the reboot requester on screen.

whilst this is up, right click your vid card in device manage, go update, then manually select the 182.5 driver from the folders it unpacks to when you run it (if you've not run it make sure it's set to run Vista SP1 compatibility).

That should do it.

In order to get the control panel and physx etc I downloaded the individual tools and phys x packages for them and intstalled.

Everything is sweet.

Unless I see a guide PROVING something newer works, I don't believe it, as I wasted three days trying to follow the others and they simply don't work.

I could get some stupid res like 4080x900 = pointless

Only th3 182.5 drivers allow powerdesk to work perfectly wihthout error when applying the 5040x1050 mode (for me).
It looks like those who have got 5040x1050 under newer drivers have done so at the expense of something else not working, and have constant issues.

I guess I'll come back and look again in a few months and see if anything has been sorted - or go buy an eyefinity.
