I`m not sure if you are using Creative or Nvidia drivers but if you were using Creative drivers & switched to Nvidia make sure you uninstall all Creative drivers & Blastercontrol 4 first before installing Nvidia drivers.

Nope... the 6.18 drivers are more stable but offer less performance move up to the 6.26,6.27 or the newer 6.34 drivers and you will see a big jump in performance... over the 6.18`s. My scores with with a GF 2 GTS 64meg increased by almost 450 points in 3dMark2000 with a driver change...


Noticed you were running directX 7.0 move up to 7.0a also...
