Author	Topic: Official Nvidia 6.31 Detonator drivers released
JG3_Jetlag Pilot	posted 10-05- 01:35 PM I tried the beta 6.31 and they were slighly slower than my 6.18, but the official 6.31 drivers (Nvidia) have added another 40 points onto my 3D Mark score. ------------------ III Gruppe, Jagdgeschwader 3 IP: Logged
Aladar Pilot	posted 10-05- 01:43 PM Thanks for the news!! How can you check your machines potential? IP: Logged
Whirlwind Pilot	posted 10-05- 02:08 PM A release a month? nVidia must release a lot of bugs to keep spinning out new drivers all the time. IP: Logged
JG3_Jetlag Pilot	posted 10-05- 02:32 PM I use 3D Mark 2000 from Mad Onion to benchmark - you can compare your results with others online. ------------------ III Gruppe, Jagdgeschwader 3 IP: Logged
Stark Pilot	posted 10-05- 03:53 PM Actually Nvidia's unified drivers (the releases anyways) are about as unbuggy a set of drivers as I have ever seen. Generally when they release a new driver set it optimizes further the existing drivers and adds/modifies support for some new feature set in an either just released or soon upcoming board. Occasionally they will just release a set because it improves performance over the previous one - with no new additions. Because of the unified drivers and how well they are done there are people still runing TNT2 boards who are getting 70%-80% performance increases over the day they bought the card - and this is just from driver updates! -Stark IP: Logged
ZooL Pilot	posted 10-05- 04:30 PM every month? try every 2 weeks! gotta love those leaked drivers. I love nvidia IP: Logged
Pete Hawk Pilot	posted 10-07- 12:57 AM 3DMark2000 is one awesome benchmark program! Wow, just incredible graphics. I've watched the demo many times already and even at my highest res of 1600x1200 it runs perfectly smooth. Those programmers need to make games! I get a score of 4553 for my new 850 Mhz/Geforce2 setup. Thanks for the link Jetlag. Oh, and with my Harrier I used to get about 20 fps in the cockpit with my PII 450 and TNT1 card, now I get over 70! [This message has been edited by Pete Hawk (edited 10-07-2000).] IP: Logged
Eyes Pilot	posted 10-07- 05:17 AM I have a Creative Riva TNT 2 M64 32MB graphics card. Do these detonators drivers include my card too? [This message has been edited by Eyes (edited 10-07-2000).] IP: Logged
JG3_Jetlag Pilot	posted 10-07- 12:34 PM Eyes... yes. The Nvidia Unified Drivers (Detonator 3) cover the whole range of TNT chip sets from the TNT1 up to the GeForce2 with all flavours in-between. I stopped using the manufactures version of the Nvidia drivers long ago. Nvidia make the chips and know the best way to get the most out of them. ------------------ III Gruppe, Jagdgeschwader 3 IP: Logged
Sport Cadet	posted 10-08- 09:57 AM Good info for us newbies Jetlag. I'm going there now to see if my Mad Onion mark of 1780 can be improved. {I have the same card as "eyes".} Thanks. IP: Logged
