711039 2008-10-09 20:01:00 I'm running older drivers from about 2003 for my Geforce 4, since they have hte highest performance.

Someone I talked to said with older cards that dont support the latest directx (eg your card is 9, but the game is dx10), then if you use the latest drivers, it emulates the dx10 effects in software, whereas older drivers dont support the newer directx versions, so everything is kept in hardware.
