What detonator drivers should be used with a TNT?

[wolf550e]

Is there any dis/advantage of using 5.xx or 6.xx det. drivers over the 3.xx on a TNT1 based card?
Whats about Creative drivers vs nVidia ones?

the card is a Graphics Blaster TNT1 16MB

TIA

Dets 2, 5.22 are meant to be the best with TNT I / II (I think)

I went through this a little while ago myself. I tried a BUNCH of different versions on an MMX233 system. Maybe it was CPU limited. I didn't see a huge difference from one to the next. Gererally, this is what other people more in the know on TNT cards than myself say: Many people still like the 3.xx drivers. They are not DX7 level drivers, however. The 5.xx are thought to be the best, 5.22, 5.32, 5.45. 6.xx det 3 drivers are more geared towards GF cards. The setup I had was for my Nephew. I tried some D3D games and really couldn't see much difference from one to the next. I wound up using 5.45.

I say that Detenators 5.32 are the best geared toward the TNT I/II series cards (I personally use them and get the best performance from them)

Running 6.18 on TNT2 Ultra at work, saw a pretty good increase in 3DMarks2000.
