NVidia owners

[Graeme*Kustom*]

head over herehttp://www.nvnews.net/files/files.shtml

and grab the 10.80 drivers - makes a noticable difference to performance in 3dmark 2001 - not exactly new news, but just something that`s worth looking at !

Thanks Graeme :-).

11.01 works best for me under W2k, with 3dmark 2001 and Q3..

The drivers made my system not start :-(. Now I have to use the drivers that came with the card on cd :-(.

[Craig]

Off to get it now, i'll install it later :)

[Graeme*Kustom*]

wow, that is brave after reading the above comment :) we`ve tried them on a few systems now and have given them the all clear!

[Torch]

some revisions of the detonator series, can cause my Geforce not to turn back on whenever it drops into standby mode :(
ive had luck with the 6.31's and the 10.80's work fine as well :D

Yeah as soon as the pc was about to go into windows it would restart? Stuck on some standard vga drivers,then the hercules ones for the card,then the previous nvidia ones and its fine.

I'll be an Nvidia owner soon enough, :) Mind you haven't the 12.10 drivers just been released?

I don't think so.

[JADS]

Then what was that news article all about over at www.anandtech.com? (http://www.anandtech.com?) ;)

[Dave]

Yup, 12.10s are now out, I think they're genuine too :)
I'll try 'em out tomorrow

[JADS]

Well if they cause a total system melt down make sure you post it before the rest of us try em, ;)

[Dave]

The 12.10s are crap.
Even worse than the 12.00

I just went back to the 11.01.
They work best for me.

[ross]

6.50 works best for me,lol.

I find that the 10.80's work great when using the NVOPENGL file from the 7.78's ! Great balance between Opengl and D3D. Quake 3 is running smooooth on my system! :o)

Put on 10.80s during reformat my 3dmark2001 score is 3*** now :). Pc specs on link below.

[Dave]

12.20 and 12.40 are out now
Both are mince

I'm sticking with 11.01
I've not seen any advantage with the 12.xx series :(
