I just got off the phone with Gainward support for my Geforce 3 VIVO vid card. I was looking to know which drivers best work with my card 'cause it's no longer listed on their site, and I wanted to make sure that the VIVO functions work.
The guy tells me that for speed, used the latest ones they have for the geforce3 Ti series and everything will work fine. On the other hand he told me that I would have much better luck using the 14.10 release if I wanted VIVO to work well. This is really irritating. Does anyone know how old these drivers are, and what kind of performance reduction I will see? Considering I want the best quality output (realtime vidcaps of first person shooters, output is going to a second pc with video in) I can get, eventually burning to SVCD, I really don't wanna sacrifice too much speed for the vid capture.
The 14.10 drivers are for the geforce 2 and are like over a year old. Is there another way to output my gaming to a second PC with a standalone capture board with video out? I don't know how I'd get that setup if it's not coming from the main video card.
Or, as a last resort, anyone here have luck getting the Geforce3 VIVO golden sample to work with windows XP?
System specs: Athlon 1.53ghz, 512mb ram, think that's all that'll really affect this...
Thanks a ton,
