fastest drivers geforce4 ?
 

i reinstalled a pc for a friend

1800+ nforce2 mobo 512 mb pc3200 geforce4 ti4200

installed everything fresh - latest nvidia drivers , ran 3dmark2001 , only got +- 8500 points

i knew the latest drivers were not the fastest , but didnt think the difference was that big - what version should i try ?

evaluate performance with the latest games, older drivers will likely provide worse performance with recent games

for benchmarking ? Detonator 44.03 / 45.02 ;)

no , for playing games :)

followed jmke 's advice

40.72 > all

Very good in last games, don't know in new games because I din't compare.
if you need them , quakenet #ae.to (murda)

thx , will try that
dit : downloaded them from http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_40.72.html

sry typo (red)

A clasmate of my did some tests:

check detonator, dentonator 2 an detonator 3. ;)

:hello:

what these tests do not tell you is image quality, bug fixes and compatibility with new games.


Check HALO for example

12 vs 18fps

I know my drivers aren't so good as the last ones but I only play OLD online game tactical ops.
Besides that nfsu2 and other new rts games.

I'll do a quick test with fraps between 40.72 & 66.93

40.72 drivers

thx :)

so last ones are better , but for benchmarking 2k01 the 40.72 is better.

:D

But I only play 2 games for now , Tactical ops based on UT engine and NFSU2.
So i'll keep my 40.72 :)
