Try 22.40, they are faster in 3dmark and games than 22.50(especialy in opengl) opengl sucks in 22.50(for profesionals the best drivers are 10.80 their open gl kicks a**), but somehow i get better fps in UT using 12.90. Anybody tried 15.70? They seem to perform little less than 12.90.

been playing Return To Castle Wolfenstein alot...
 
noticed that when i fire the Panzerfaust the explosion looks wierd...
 
its like i get text IN the explosion....
 
i'll chalk this up to the 22.80's being beta...
i've also found that with the 22.80's with opengl, when i use anisotropic filtering my framerate cuts in half...
 
didnt have that prob with 21.83's.
 
got cut by 1/3rd.
 
hmm.
 
whats the best OPENGL driver?

10.80, 2240, 12.90(in that order) have best opengl driver. Hehehe there is another version of detonators4 on the net 23.10, you can get it from here http://www.warp2search.com or savagenews !!!

yeah i am digging on the 23.10's right now...
anisotropic filtering is MUCH faster for me, only a 15% speed los @ 4x (32 sample)

23.10 didn't do good for me(little slower than 22.40) and as for anisotropic i don't use it anyways.

just moved from 22.80 to 23.10 lost 1000 points in 3dmark 2k
q3 timedemo stayed the same
 
so it looks as though d3d performance has dropped and ogl stayed the same.

To me it was back way around lost points in ogl and smaller drop in d3d so as far as bencmarking goes 22.40 rulez for me. Just saw that ABIT KR7A got into stores(im ordering one on monday, pronto:D ).

Ok runned some test with new 23.11 and they apear little slower than 22.40 in 3dmark2001 but faster in real world, and as for ogl they are also slower than 22.40 and 12.90 !!!
Check again for i test every single dets that are out there(hehehe, professional deformation, just have to know which are the best, also have tons of dets burned on my cd's) will try to provide links for newest dets also(as some people dont have a clue where to find them, but u can usualy find them on www.m3dzone.com , www.warp2search.com , www.guru3d.com ....) . Enjoy the free speed upgrades that nvidia provide for us(that's what we're paying for, right!!!)
