Difference between graphics controller driver and Nvidia TNT driver?
HI, I think I might have found a reason why I am having trouble
watching videos on my Gateway. What is the difference between those two drivers mentioned in the title? On the Gateway site, it says there is a driver NVidia Graphics Controller driver, version 5.3.2 that is available for download and update. What I am not understanding is, what are the versions, for example 44.03 for the graphics card? They sound like two independent drivers to me. The reason I am asking is I can't control the brightness, contrast, gamma, etc. even in the Nvidia Control Panel or with Rivatuner....so I must be needing some other connections. OK well, get back when you can and I will keep attempting to get my Nvidia Riva TNT card to work properly, TIA, appreciate it, psongman |

* psongman:
HI, I think I might have found a reason why I am having trouble watching videos on my Gateway. What is the difference between those two drivers mentioned in the title? Yes. "graphics controller driver" doesn't say *which* graphics controller it is for. "Nvidia TNT driver" tells us that it's for the RivaTNT GPU. On the Gateway site, it says there is a driver NVidia Graphics Controller driver, version 5.3.2 that is available for download and update. What I am not understanding is, what are the versions, for example 44.03 for the graphics card? They sound like two independent drivers to me. The "NVidia Graphics Controller driver" on the Gateway site is probably for a gfx card that was sold by Gateway. I don't know if that's a RivaTNT, a Riva128 or a Geforce. Basically, the best way usually are drivers from Nvidia. Benjamin |

So, all you want to do is to control the brightness and contrast of the
videos? What media player app are you using? Windows Media Player? PowerDVD? VideoLAN? Be sure to set the app to use overlay rendering. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.

Difference between graphics controller driver and Nvidia TNT driver?
Hi, yeah, I would say to use overlay rendering but I can't either find
it or if I do, get it to work. There must be something with this card that is not allowing me to do this. If you know which one of those video players will allow this, please direct me, and I will just try and use that one, thanks for assisting, psongman |

I use the open-source Media Player Classic, which has some 7 different
rendering modes. http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...ckage_id=84358 -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
