Nvidia nview brightness drivers#
Not a stupid question, windows 10 drivers might be different, however I would expect them to be possibly the same as maybe the ones for Windows 8.1.Īwesome to hear you found some that work using older drivers that I linked. I didnt catch that until you mentioned it. When going through the manual selection process for drivers it appears that they switched me over to the geforce domain. Yes, the drivers I listed were from official nvidia's website. Other thought if none of the above works, is that maybe nvidia keeps an archive somewhere and you can request a specific version that they can give you an archive link to to download. If this doesnt work, then maybe try the 500 series driver like the GT 555m and see if you can get that to work, however going with prior series drivers you can run into other problems as well as lack of support for certain features that the 650m has that the prior series GPUs lacked such as shaders etc.
Nvidia nview brightness update#
If 378.66 works then you can update the driver until you find which specific one breaks this and then open a ticket with nVidia to check into it, or just stick with older driver that works and just remember to save a copy of this driver someplace safe in case you ever need it again in future and Nvidia no longer has it available. NVidia has drivers here going back to Feb release of this year for the GT 650m GPU, have you tried the oldest here to see if you get the functionality back. So what I'm wondering is, is there a way to get Nvidia's older drivers so I can find the latest working driver that doesn't break the brightness setting?Īny suggestions and or help would GREATLY be appreciated. The last time I ran windows flawlessly on this with updated graphics was back in December. However now, when I update the driver, it kills the ability to change brightness, both using the bootcamp utility, and even the one windows has built in! Since I have a beefier older MacBook Pro I always update the GPU drivers as I'm running a 1gb Nvidia Geforce GT 650M.
Nvidia nview brightness install#
When you install windows on a Mac, you bring in apples bootcamp drivers which allow you to control the brightness and volume and right click on a trackpad with one click etc.

I have tried this on windows 7 pro, 8.1 pro and windows 10 pro to all duplicate the exact same issue. I have attached a bug report log, which also shows my various attempts to hack around the problem (different = kernel parameters, using a self-built 5.12 kernel in the hopes nouveau would work sufficiently etc.), but the currently running config should be sane (distro kernel, no special kernel parameters).I'm having a rather annoying driver issue with Nvidia and would like some assistance in getting it fixed or perhaps a by pass! Please bear with me as this is technically a Bootcamp MacBook Pro I'm working on, but it is a Nvidia driver issue. FWIW, brightness control is working when using the iGPU (using amdgpu driver) instead of the dGPU, but in that case the external monitor doesn’t work because the nvidia driver can’t be used as output sink for amdgpu. This is the case for both the 460.67 and 465.24 drivers. nvidia-settings -n -a BacklightBrightness=X (no effect).Fn keys (OSD comes up, but no further effect).I am using Fedora 33 on a Legion 5 Pro laptop featuring a RTX 3070 GPU, and backlight brightness control isn’t working at all.
