They "are" the detonator driver's

[Smugly]

Is it worth upgrading? Actually sod it, I never upgrade until I have to. Frankly getting a 1 point score more in Futuremark2003 impresses my house mate, but unless it improves my games noticably, I just really don't care.

[Omnituens]

i get about 15 more FPS with these drivers.

WINNER

[Smugly]

Really? What kind of card is that with and what version were you running before? 15FPS is enough to get me interested.......

[CryptoChronic]

doh me dummy

[msdong]

the new driver fix some issues with flickering cave entrance and border between buildings and terrain on a GF FX5600. but there are still problems with water in the distance.
what i am missing on that driver are some options for D3d. there was something like render frames ahead .

i dont have any visible FPS enhancements to the last driver.

[MortuusLupus]

do they enable AA? With the last WHQL I used I could change the settings on AA, and I got the framerate hit, but no AA would be visible, my screen was still assy looking. Anyway, I'ma go get em and see what happens

[Omnituens]

im on a GF4 MX440, and got a nice FPS boost as stated.

Alt-tabbing has also improved.

im doing some more test in different games to see if their performance has improved.

[Smugly]

Great... I might actually check this out for a change. I just prefer not to bother with patches unless it's either necessary (online game) or brings obvious benefits to me (new levels, mods or just a major performance boost)

[ZoneVortex]

Will getting those drivers help out lil' ol' me with my GeForce 256?

[nonamebrandeggs]

ONOS! MY FPS HAVE DROPPED! Thats on a GF4 TI4200.

[Xian]

How about a GF 3Ti 200? I'm worried that I'll get even worse. :(

[Dardalion]

Anyone else getting loads of CTD's after upgrading to these ?

didnt play for long, but I've been getting lots of fre's/ctd's before updating the driver, after, it seems smoother and looks nicerer. ohh, and meh DVD plays movies a lot nicerer too for some reason. Just gotta update my XP drivers now, blergh.

[enablerbr]

lexx if u've updated the new nvidia drivers don't update the critical xp nvidia update. or you'll go back to 44.03 drivers.

[Lexxuk]

ahh, ta for that enab - I'll write it down so I dont forget (pub crawl last night, recovery today, why cant every pub sell the same booze, first its fosters, then labats, then carling, then, umm, carlsberg, then southern comfort... damn I'm not well)

[enablerbr]

LOL you lighweights. i remember the days drinking 20 cans of kestral super without any probs.

[Lexxuk]

Only problem I really had, was I met Bill in the first pub, he wants me to go on a pub crawl with him thru Penzance, starting at the train station, and working our way up, I think ending at the Humphry Davy, having 20 pints, before the real pub crawl starts O_o

[MortuusLupus]

These drivers pretty much cleared up my anti-aliasing issues. They seem to be pretty fast, too. I give them the Morty Seal Of Approval!

Now I'm gonna go get Donuts and Dr. Pepper.

[Dardalion]

Forget my earlier post - I had a HDD problem - which may (hopefully) be solved
