Anyone else having trouble with WHQL 52.16?

[Genx87]

Saw a 56-89% increase in performance in SWG when forcing PS 2.0

I went from a solid 16 FPS to 25-30. I am for the most part hovering around 28-29. This is 1600X1200 with 2AF and 2AA

I beg to differ whoever thinks the 52.16 drivers are only for the FX line. I am running a GeForce 4 Ti and after the installation of the new drivers, my performance levels increased dramatically in both Halo and Max Payne 2. I am now able to zoom in halo and in large combat situations FPS drop is minimal.

I think they are great drivers and worked very well for me.

Excellent. I'll have to try this on my GF4 then! What's the IQ like (does it look any worse)?

The IQ is MUCH MUCH better. That's part of the reason these drivers are so great.

I the performance increase I stated was done with my Ti4200. So go get them. 🙂

Having problem with 52.16, the driver does not remember the dual view setting after reboot.

Same here. No matter what I do, the new drivers on my PNY GeForce 4 Ti 4200 8X AGP want to make my 15" secondary monitor the primary because it gets up and running a few seconds before my 19". All I ususally have to do is click the "extend desktop onto the monitor" setting in the display properties, buit now when I do that, I get an error message that the .DLL has crashed and all the Detonator options disappear from the display properties. I've tried playing around with the nView settings, but those haven't been able to get anything going. This is the first time I've ever had these kinds of issues trying to get dual monitors running. I've tried switching the monitiors between VGA and DVI (with adaptor) and nothing is working. Is there anything else that can be tweaked or are the Det 50's broke? (The Radeon 9600SE for $129 with HL2 - and now free the big bundle of HL1 stuff - is looking pretty damn good if nVidia keeps having these major issues trying to get everything working right).

I'll just stayed with the older driver until they find a fix for the dual view on the new driver.

I installed the 52.16 drivers on a Epox 8RDA+ with GF3 Ti200. NVidia straightened out the bug that wouldn't let me run PowerDVD 5. I can watch DVD's again!

I had image corruption using this 52.16, when I'm gaming Midnight ClubII, so I revert back to 45.23.

Quake 3 locks up my computer when I use the 52.16 dets.

My coolbits memory o/c resets back to 850MHz on a 5900 ultra.

The "auto detect" feature sets the memory at 960MHz. I'm trying to keep it at a conservative 900Mhz.

Anyone else with this?? :frown:

better late than never 😱

My computer would not even finish booting after installing the 52.16 drivers, downloaded directly from Nvidia's website. The boot would get to the "Windows XP" boot screen, then lock up. Fortunately, I had backed everything up just a few days ago. All I had to do was re-load an image 🙂 I'm posting from that non-booting computer now.

Incomplete driver uninstall perhaps?
