fastest drivers geforce4 ?

[Bonbon] · 31st December 2004, 01:09

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

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
