Looks like someone on Nvidia's end confused the Bus Speed and FSB.
Then the doubled the FSB, and used that to find the frequncey.
FSB should be 380, and Bus should be 1500 or so. Wow that's bad.
Fixed the extra img tags for you as well

yeah that new Nvidia control panel is a major pain to navigate and now its information isn't even accurate. and for what reason? Does anyone know why they decided to abandon their old panel that worked very well and was easy to navigate?

They wanted to make one that was more user friendly.

Hi All,
[quote]They wanted to make one that was more user friendly.
Well IMHO they didn't succeed.

yup, it failed and they are not going back to the old style, so we are all stuck in the same boat.

I'm not particularly impressed with it either.

Maybe it is because my vide card is a dinosaur, but I still can choose the Classic style to show the nvidia control panel.
Is it just me?
oh version 93.71 also - so it is the newest for mine.

Well if they arent going to go back to the old one they could atleast try again and give us yet anohter new one. I doubt anything could be as messed up and confusing as this new mess.
