Is this the latest patcher compared to nvlddmkm-patcher-1.0.zip? 2. If the program needs to be updated as in item 2 above, what do we use? In the 1.0.zip post you mentioned running dseo. 3. What exactly do you mean by "the program needs to be updated"? |

RE: NVIDIA Pixel Clock Patcher
It means I'll need to update the patcher if it can't find the limits in a newer driver.
The first post will always have the latest version. 1.0 is older and only removes the 330 MHz limit. The current version also removes the SLI limit and doesn't need DSEO. I'm currently testing a new version that removes the 400 MHz limit for older GPUs: https://www.monitortests.com/nvlddmkm-patcher-400.zip That one will become version 1.1 once I make sure there are no side effects with newer GPUs. |

RE: NVIDIA Pixel Clock Patcher
Cheers ToastyX, the new patcher works like a charm with older cards (using a 2x gtx 570 classified's) and am successfully running my monitor @ 2560x1440@125hz

(09-28-2012 10:21 PM)ToastyX Wrote: The patcher signs the file for you now, so "Pixel Clock Patcher" is correct. Running the patcher again should let you restore from backup. It looks for the driver file, not the cards. If you still can't get it to restore, then just reinstall the driver. Here's my dilemma... I chain load my windows bootloader off of grub. Windows bootloader still exists, but is in the first few sectors of the windows partition, as opposed to the MBR itself. The "bcdedit /set TESTSIGNING ON" command fails in my normal configuration. It returns: "The boot configuration data store could not be opened The system cannot find the file specified" In order to make it work, I have to hide my other bootable partitions, and set the windows partition to active. This boots me directly into windows, and then running the command will succeed. I have the impression that this command is naive, and it tries the earliest partition, or the 'boot/active' partition by default - as opposed to the parition with the bootloader that started windows. I looked at my windows volume, and there is no <vol>:\Boot\BCD directory. Was that shorthand for "your BCD location", or did you mean that path literally? If I knew how to properly specify where the BCD is located, it would save me some time when changing this option. In any case, so far I've had to goto linux and hide my other partitions whenever I try to run the command. -scheherazade |

RE: NVIDIA Pixel Clock Patcher
The path is literal. It might be on a separate partition. You would have to assign a driver letter to access it.
Regardless, once test mode is enabled, you don't have to worry about it anymore. It will not disable itself. |

RE: NVIDIA Pixel Clock Patcher
Test mode needs to be enabled to load the modified driver.
You can use DSEO to remove the watermark in Windows 7: http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Files..._cat_id=34 |

Run testmode.exe again and click "No" to disable test mode, then reboot.
