Good show.... then again, 10 megs for a driver is a bit hefty....

I'm running some tests with them now. Trying to break my previous 3DMark score.

Zalman bracket w/Sunon 42cfm strapped on side for benchmarking, I'm seeing what she can do...

Must be in great demand now... 50 minutes remaining at 4.2 kb/s

**chrisjk** · Aug 29th, 2002, 08:09 PM

They're a pile of shite

Also nView causes fatal exception now

**JungleMan** · Aug 29th, 2002, 09:28 PM

Indeed Chris, it has screwed my system up so much. GTA3 won't even run now.

NVIDIA has great drivers? Pfft.

@ NVIDIA

I just re-installed 29.42 which is the one I had before. Seems okay now

Worked fine for me.. only thing I noticed is that resolutions change faster now...

**JungleMan** · Aug 30th, 2002, 06:11 AM

Oh yeah...NVRotate is stupid but amusing..

**Gimlin** · Aug 30th, 2002, 09:22 AM

**Lord Orwell** · Aug 31st, 2002, 11:32 PM

No problems here, though nView sucks... slows down my Alt-Tabbing.

Drivers are off the NVIDIA website.

**Sastraxi** · Sep 2nd, 2002, 08:40 AM

UT runs a bit faster than before, framerates in my 2D game (in DirectX8) jumped from 400 to like 410, so it's not THAT much better

**Zaei** · Sep 2nd, 2002, 10:25 AM

My card doesnt even support anisotropic filtering =).

**JungleMan** · Sep 2nd, 2002, 03:25 PM

What card do you have?

**Sastraxi** · Sep 2nd, 2002, 03:31 PM

He has a TNT2.

**Lord Orwell** · Sep 2nd, 2002, 06:30 PM
