Worth upgrading drivers (for TNT2)?

[robp]

I have a TNT2 with '4.12' driver installed.
Will I get much of a performance increase if I upgrade to the latest detonator drivers?

Thanks

6.xx Detenator drivers decrease performance for TnT boards. I've found that the 5.22 drivers work best with my TnT2U. Go here and choose your OS.

Try to 5.32 version too, not bad either. just don't try the 6.0 and above drivers.

I went ahead and installed the newest detonator drivers before waiting for a reply. hmmm.
Any idea how I can delete the current drivers and install the 5.22? or can I just install the 5.22 drivers over the 6.xx?

Just uninstall them. Just go into the display properties and change the video adapter to like the generic PCI vga adapter. Then DO NOT RESTART. Instead, go and open up regedit. and go to the following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\

and look for the folder NVIDIA CORPORATION.

DELETE that entire folder/key.

Then close regedit and REBOOT. then afterwards, your display will be all scrwed up cuz it's only using like 16 colors or something cuz of the generic pci vga driver. So then go ahead and install the 5.22 or 5.32 drivers.

Oh and just to reiterate...DELETE ONLY THE NVIDIA CORPORATION FOLDER in REGEDIT....lol...

Dumb question, how do I actually change the video adaptor?
Display Properties->Settings->???????

Thanks
