| 187347 | 2003-10-28 18:16:00 | Hi Guys Just to let you know that nVidia has released new drivers (called Forceware). Now, although these drivers improve performance in DirectX 9 games, nVidia did not optimise the drivers for OpenGL games. Now, if you are asking where this is going... I have Homeworld 2, an OpenGL based game, from Relic. The new nVidia drivers actually DEGRADE graphical performance (at least for this game). For the moment - until a newer driver is released optimised for both OpenGL and DirectX 9 - stick with the older Detonator drivers. The game plays much better this way. If you don't have any OpenGL games, then by all means get the new drivers - they will improve performance for DX 9 games. Just my 2Cents Rev Species 116 |

| 187350 | 2003-10-29 00:42:00 | Hmm... It appears there's been new drivers in the last week... I was having shutdown issues mainly, but scrolling in things like IE had troubles too... This was with the 45.23 Driver Set I believe... I went back to 44.03 coz they were working better. My bad with the numbers.... |
