Nice..thanks for the link. I'll try them in a few minutes for W2K.

 

[Taz4158]

Got a decent performance increase here.

 

[Dan]

Thanks for the link. I'm downloading them now.

Does it come up as 1240 for everyone else whan you look at the device manager for W2K?

12.60 did the same thing.

 

[nitrousninja]

NVMax and 3DMark read them correctly though. I got 350 more points in 3DMark2001. now at 5579 w\o any overclocking.

 

[Dan]

I also got a 3DMark 2001 increase. I'm now at 2118 with a GeForce2 MX. (Not overclocked.)

What's this 8.03 driver listed on the same page? I have a GF2 Pro. Which one should I download?
Is it only for older cards like a tnt1-2?

 

[nitrousninja]

I'm not sure what the difference is but I am running the 1240's in my other comp with no problems at all and it is a Herc Pro.

I got my first nVidia card yesterday (Leadtek MX2 with TwinView stuffs). So, I am very new to the Detonator game.

From the comments on m3dzone, 12.x drivers support DirectX 8 while 8.0 (and below) only support DirectX 7?

[dave127]

can u use coolbits with this version????

 

[Doomguy]

On my Geforce 2 I got a 180 point increase in 3dmark2001 over the 12.41 drivers. Not bad!!!

 

[Taz4158]

They definitely have a nice increase.

 

[Doomguy]

[nippyjun]

Anisotropic support?

 

[Chad]

Yeah but have the put alt-depth buffering back in for OpenGL? If not, forget about it... textures are to blurry without it.

 

[dave127]

apparently coolbits doesnt work on this driver...is there any way do get it to work???

 

[nicowju]

Just go to NVMax's Website and download it. It allows you to overclock the card

 

[nitrousninja]

5744 with 24bit Zbuffer enabled and anisotropic filtering enabled as well.

Got booted into 800x600 16 colors.
Back to the 12.41s

There are 8xx drivers now and they're listed as DX7 compatible. WTF? The 7xx drivers were DX8 compatible.

Not sure what the heck's going on there.

 

[Compuguru]

The 8 series is a continuation(sp?) of the 7 series.
