Detonator 3 12.41 and TNT2 Ultra Don't Work?

[Multi]

Hi, I d/led the most recent detonator's off of nvidia's site and when I installed it, realized that they have drivers for the TNT2/TNT2 Pro but not the ultra, and windows is telling me that my old drivers are still the best fit. Is this right? Should I stick w/ my old 6.5 drivers or is tnt2 pro really tnt2u?

thanks

I don't know this this will help, but let me tell you about my experience with the 12.41 drivers. The first time I installed them, everything was fine. I don't remeber, but I think it did install as the TNT2 Ultra. What annoyed me at first was the TV out option was gone, for some reason I couldn't use it anymore. When I tried playing Black & White, I had odd clipping problems that I had never seen before. I switched back to my old drivers, the Creative 6.34 based drivers (I have a Creative TNT2 Ultra). After I saw your post, I tried installing the 12.41 drivers again, but this time they won't even install. So, I really don't like those drivers. Good Luck.

The TNT2 Ultra is no different then the TNT2 or TNT2 Pro, it's just clocked slightly higher. The 12.41's are compatible with the TNT2 Ultra.

As for whether the 12.41's are good or better drivers for you then the6.50's that's an entirely different matter.

I have the Creative TNT2 Ultra card running on the new 12.41 drivers. I had problems when I attempted to run the card in 4X. According to Nvidia,the chip will do it, but I find the Creative card will not! In calling Creative they first claimed that the card would work in 4X, but then recanted and would not guarantee it. I think that the driver attempts 4X since the chip can do it but locks the machine in the attempt. I have had no problems running at 2X.
