What was the latest Detonator revision before the GF3?

Just got a GF2Ti and the 21.81 shipping with it doesnt seem to like win98 all that much. Figured Id going back to earlier pre gf3/xp revision might help.

The 22.80 is after GeForce3, and it's designed for Windows XP
Some friends in this forum had experiences that it won't work with other Windows versions, or work but with some troubles.

But Jema said ==> before GeForce3, then it's Detonator 21.83

After Geforce3? :confused: There is no "after Geforce3" yet.

If you'ld bother to look, there is a 22.80 driver revision specific for Win9x/Me.

And last I heard, Nvidia drivers are unified, that means for all nvidia products.

Yes doctor, Im affraif it another case of selfcreated confusion.

Where? Nvidia site only has 21.83 listed and if YOU had botherd to look Im looking for OLDER drivers. I bloody well know where to find the latest.



<< And last I heard, Nvidia drivers are unified, that means for all nvidia products. >>


True, but that doesnt mean that they'll work like you expect on older and for the producer uninteresting products so however unified they may be they are still separated by OS and performance, the the "will detonator 2 do anything for my TNT?" on a site near you should make that clear. And finaly a personal example: Sacrifice, using the 21.81=5fps using 6.50=50fps.

Found RivaStation, got a few revisions to test now.

My comments were directed at Quetzalboat, not you.

As for versions,I provided you a link. You do not find leaked drivers on Nvidia's site.

You're welcome for the help.:p

Any driver numbered 1xxx or above was designed for the GF3. Anything below that was available before the GF3.

Figured Id going back to earlier pre gf3/xp revision might help.

The problem with that is that the drivers probably won't recognise the card because it'll be too new for them.
