Title: New Nvidia drivers
Post by: aldo_14 on October 24, 2003, 02:17:18 pm

Thought it might be of interest, especially with the furore over the 3dmark benchmarking and the whole Half-Life 2 crap performance thing.

Hoping so... apparently it does help Halo's pixel shaders a bit, though someone with the game / demo will be able to say for sure.

I think they gave up making drivers for Win98/ME. Oh well...

Actually, I'm pretty that dirver or one on the way is for 9x / ME.  It definately mentions something about it in the release docs....

Is this driver better than the Detonator XP driver? The site doesn't say if it can be used for GeForce 4 Ti-4200 cards...

It's nVidia's standard "everything-in-one" driver setup.

That's a bad thing because?

Anyway, I want the real ForceWare package dammit, the one with the nForce drivers in it, I couldn't care less about the graphics drivers.
