On the Windows Update drivers, all the OpenGL games work perfectly fine. But if you try updating to more recent ones for Nvidia, they will render most OpenGL games broken.

Just a heads up now, figured out what was happening.

I tried this to fix opengl, in Neverwinter Nights, the game I tried it in, it got rid of the flickering bars, but the performance was unplayable. Around 1 fps or lower.

wished it worked in 7, SUSE for that matter though
yea, the flickering bars happened to me too in Doomsday. The source port for Doom.

and this happens only in x64 windows 7 and not x86, and when I use OpenGL, of cuz.

I am using that version and still having the problem.

The problem should lie in 64-bit because I have no problems with OpenGL on my laptop which is installed with windows 7 32-bit.

Doom3 has horrible flickering on anything other than the windows beta drivers , sucks really because the windows drivers are not that great. So i can't play doom 3 but i will still use the nvidia beta drivers :)

the whql drivers won't make a difference since they are dated(Date Modified) the same as the beta's. :(

Is there a fix available or known? I have problems in all my OGL Games, when playing in fullscreen with the 185.20 vista64 drivers on my laptop Nvidea 7950 GTX.
Have to run them in a window and the performance is badly affected by these "bad" drivers.

Well I found a workaround so far by using Rivatuner.

Go to OpenGL options -> Back / depth buffering Tab and change Back buffer flipper mode to Block Transfer.

Yeah, it worked!
OGL Games feel still a lot slower than on a Windows XP machine, but finally I can play them in full screen! Thanks for that!

A few days back I decided to try the Windows update drivers again and it fixed my problem. Don't know why I had the terrible performance the first time but it seems ok now. Also I noticed that new drivers were released through Windows Update yesterday so try those.

Yep, somehow I am sure OpenGL isn't supported in the 64-bit windows 7.
And also, I experience slowdown on my laptop with 8600M GT.

What is the driver version after you installed them?

Well, that's the reply I wanna get - knowing if this workaround works for ATI users.
I don't know about ATI and OpenGL but since Rivatuner works with ATI cards too, I was
just wondering if it has the OpenGL options in it.

Maybe there's some other ways to change OpenGL settings for ATI users?
