Is it better to use Creative Labs RivaTNT drivers or nVidia's Detonator drivers for Win2K?

[MaxDSP]

Just installed a new 40 gigger and going through the drivers part. I should buy an Imaging utility but funds is the issue

But I digress. nVidia says that its better to use your card manufacturers drivers rather than the dets. your opinion?

I always use the ref drivers. Sometimes the card mfg add better tvout support and possibly a GUI to adjust settings easier..

i still run a diamond viper V550 TNT card and uses Nvidia's reference drivers. Performnce between different drivers doesn't really hange much so just go for stablity and compatability with your games.

What John said.

I've always used nVidia's ref drivers. I had trouble with the 23.11's on 1 system so I went back to the 21.83's on it. 23.11's are fine on the others, though. Go to Guru3D's site . He's got all the nVidia drivers available.

I think you should go with the latest official Detonators. I don't think it will make much of a difference for the TNT, but in the times of version 6.49 / 6.50 and so you could get a performance leap.
If you care about performance I'd recommend to run 3DMark 2000 a couple of times using the different drivers to see what difference it makes.
