O.k., so I will wait for this. Maybe you will test an older driver from the Nvidia-site till then ? Maybe some older cards are no more supported by the newest drivers. If not, we will take a look with your new card. If it would help, I can take a look on your computer if I can get access. In this case we should talk about time and IP (just an idea).
