The newly released Nvidia driver 178.13 resolves many issues with Poser 7 SR3!

Textures now load quickly (no pause). And that includes V4.2 (no crashes).

So, hey, we can now actually use the Open GL in Poser 7 SR3.

Welcomed news!

Yeah, I was about to re-install Poser 7 yesterday to roll back to an earlier SR, when I discovered that Nvidia had released new drivers. I was playing in Poser and all of those hesitations, pauses, Material Room gaffs were driving me crazy.

But today I re-opened Poser after installing the new drivers last night and, it was all fixed. Even with loading up several figures and applying textures to them, there wasn't any of the earlier problems and even the camera moved faster.

Finally, everyone's on the same page :)

Both nvidia and ati have been sucking greatly the last year with drivers.

Is this for all nvidia products?  Sharen

Sharen the new driver is for GeForce 6-series, 7-series, 8-series, 9-series, and 200-series cards I hope this helps.

Well, it does not work for me (GeForce 7600GS, WinXP32). Never ever had a crash with P7 before, but with this new driver I get an instant crash to the desktop as soon as I move the camera. Back to my old outdated driver (162.18).

 just upgrade my 9600 Gt today with this new driver
I was using Poser pro 7 on VIsta 64 bits and 8 gigs ram
My display set on Poser Pro was with Opengl working good before and now crash when i try to move some caracter part or when rendering
Seems ok with sree3d display
 But Opengl  display seems  stiil ok (just test one time) with Poser 7 (not pro)
On other thread about it someone suggest to set on for  optimization 3d  in the control panel
I will test this afternoon but if someone have some others customising settings specifiques to Poser 7 pro  and this new driver i will try it also
Thanks

Well, martial, I have a 9600 GT myself, and it's been smooth sailing with this new update.

I haven't reset my Nvidia settings then I was using previously, which is basically turn antisophoric filter OFF.

I'm using plain old Poser 7, though. Hopefully it'll work out for you. Poser 7 SR 3 is remarkably better with this driver than any previous one.

Hello Jefsview
You mean anisotropic (not evident this term)?? It is off by defaut
But the suggestion of Silverblade33 to put ON for optmization thread is working and for now working good with OpenGL and Poser7pro

 OK.. I have a 7650 GS card... I wonder if that would benefit from an upgrade? I haven't had any problems with Poser 7 SR3 so far, except that the green Origin crosshair seems to disappear on certain props... 

I guess I'll give it a go and see..

How do you roll back to a previous driver in case something goes FUBAR?
