Optimized drivers for GF4 Ti4200?

[BlueWeasel]

I've been hearing lately that the latest version of Nvidia drivers (52.xx series) are optimized for the newer GX line of cards. I am currently running the 43.45 drivers but some have said that the 30.82 drivers are best for the GF3/GF4 series of cards.

System:
Epox Nforce2 MB with 2000+ XP
1024mb RAM
Ti4200 128mb
WinXP Pro

Specifically, my framerates are not that great in Morrowind. Yeah, I know the MW engine really sucks, but all I hear on the MW forums is "Use the 30.82 driver!" However, every time I try to reinstall the 30.82 driver I get a setup error and I've properly uninstalled the previous Nvidia driver.

All my other games seem to run fine and I really can't tell much of a difference.

I run the 52.16's on my 4200 and have 0 problems.

52.16 gives me a weird jolting effect in UT (orig) and it's unplayable with that jolting effect.

Back to 44.03, these render a better image than 43.45 I find. Forget 45.23 - bug galore!

i use the 30.82 for my 4200. i believe the "optomizations" happened in the 4x.xx serieres drivers

Any idea as to why the 30.82 driver gives me a setup error? It gets to 100%, but then says setup did not complete.

Currently running the 43.45 driver with good framerates in MW, so I'm in no big hurry to switch.

I may give the 44.03 series a try, though...

I've gotten the highest performance numbers and best IQ ever with the 53.03 leaked Forcewares.

However, the 41.09 and 43.45 detonators were also both wonderful releases IMO.

I found that the 4109 and 4403 were the best for my sons comp. It has a gainward ti4200 :sun:

 

[MichaelZ]

what's 41.09 like? how's the performance and IQ compared to later drivers?

p.s. to those using 43.45, 44.03 renders a better image on distant objects. i noticed this during games of Gun Metal where the terrain textures on far away hills diminished in quality when i used 43.45. and yes it does run well on Ti series

i happen to use a gainward ti4200 and am interested in more info on which drivers to use
thankyou
