Drivers for 3D cards

[Jeff444]

Supposed I buy a Creative Riva TnT2 3D card which had the nVidia TnT2 chips on it,where should I go and download the latest drivers?
Are the drivers from nVidia and Creative same?

Creative's drivers may have more features, but nvidia's reference drivers will generally give better performance. The 3rd party drivers are based upon nvidia's but are not always as up to date.

You should not download the latest NVIDIA reference drivers. The detanator 3 drivers are optimized for Geforce series cards and will not help performance on a TNT2 and may even degrade performance. You should get the latest drivers for your card from creative, because like bigshooter said, they have more features. You could also get the latest detanator 2 drivers from Nvidia if you want.

correct. the detonator 3's suck on tnt cards. use the det2's or older.
