VIA Hyperion 4in1 v4.45 drivers out!

Mem

Link,

VIA have led the way in pioneering the unified driver set. The VIA 4in1 drivers, often known as a VIA 4in1 service pack have been the mainstay of VIA systems for years - optimizing stability and comparability.

Today (10 December 2002) is an historic occasion, as VIA changes the name to VIA Hyperion 4in1 drivers and launches the driver set, optimized for performance for VIA's latest chipsets. The name Hyperion will most certainly supercede the name 4in1 all together in the future, but "4in1" has been kept in the name for identification sake. The version numbers also continue on from the 4in1 driver series so as not to confuse our customers.

 
Detonator, Xminator, Catalyst, and now Hyperion... lol.... I guess the "Hyperion" drivers will become a feature of VIA chipsets.

Cheers

EDIT: I can't even download it.... 🙁 I suppose some can't bear another minute without the Hyperion driver!
 
Thanks for the info...wow their servers are backed up big time! This is going to be a popular download today!
 
It's either they pulled it down or the download sites are getting hammered. Who on earth stay up this late to dl some friggin drivers that will just give 1-3 frames extra?!?!?!?!

Believe me they are getting hammered, I signed up for Fileshack and still had to wait 20 min!!!!!!!!!! They have like 8 servers across the USA!!

If you want I can send it to you via MSN Messenger , bentvalve@msn.com is my name.
 
Those with a VIA KT400 board will get the most benefit out of the new AGP driver in the 4.45 pack.
 
Hehe gotta love how "drivers" have taken on a life of their own.

Anyways, any benefit for a KT266A mobo?

Chiz

Put it this way, I installed them and have had no problems with games or stability on my KT266a board ( btw using WinXP Pro),I`ve not done any real benchmarks yet.

Have you seen the graphs with performance boost numbers? That is the most exagerated performance graph that I have seen. The difference in the first graph is 255 points in 3D Mark 2001 and with the graph, they try to make it seem like the performance improvement is almost 3x over the previous drivers:

In the second graph, the difference is much less, only 55 point difference between the previous 4 in 1's and the newest "Hyperion" drivers. Yet the graph makes it look like it is almost 3 times the difference. Do they think we were born yesterday? I can't believe out of all the names they could have come up with, they went with Hyperion. This is the stupidest driver release by a chipset company that I have ever seen. So sad. Via still sucks.

I noticed that too. All they are doing is playing with pictures. It's great that they give a tiny tiny increase in performance, but they act like this is the Geforce FX of via4in1s.
