huh? Everybody pretty much already knows about this, man.

tried it on a friend's geforce2 mx400 card. found a memory leak. after playing max payne for a while, we quit and tried playing startopia and got some wierd errors. reset win2k. started up startopia, and it worked fine, but after we quit and tried to go back to playing max payne, we got funky errors from that game. i'm guessing it's the new driver's fault, since when we downgraded to the old driver, everything worked fine.

heyyy...i posted this when it came out....but the thread got locked =(


o and the new driver seems slower than the previous one...i don't like it...

using winxp dropped my fps to 60 from 90......back on 98se

Everyone points to their 3DMark scores going up as proof these new drivers are faster. It may improve that but my UT scores dropped about 20 fps so a 3DMark score does NOTHING to help me out. I have had no luck with anything but the 12.41 drivers which give me the highest fps as well as cleaning up some odd font problems, also in UT, that were first noticed in the 10.70 and .80 drivers. As always, YMMV and if you don't play UT, have at it and good luck !

ppaik that is because xp limits frame rate to 60 because of the refresh rates. There are refresh rate fixes out there though that will elimate this problem.

I DL the latest driver as well and notice major problems running Tribes2 on my Pro card. Didnt have it before so I am assuming it is the driver. Real pain in the azz if you sniper alot with all the screen ripping I cant see my victim.

I have GeForce 3, and with the last Det. drivers, I got 100FPS constant in CS, when I "upgraded" the drivers, I got 50FPS. Stupid drivers......I downgraded them the same day. Ahhh 100FPS....mmmm....

 

[riptide441]

these drivers, 90% sure corrupted my cd-rom registry files and windows cant fix it, looks like a reinstall for me

 

[Raspewtin]

from what I've heard re: Det4 drivers, instead of paying money you pay with Image quality loss. nothing in life is free

 

[beatinitup]

100fps????


I thought the human eye cant see over 60fps. Whats the point if you cant even tell the difference

 

[mrchan]

can we STOP posting driver updates as Hot Deals?!?!?!! This will DEFINITELY lead to forum clog.

 

[Glow]

you cant see over 60 fps but you feel the difference when your playing a game.
