Best dets for the Ti4400?

SurfMonkey · May 28, 2002, 05:21 AM

I've got a Creative Ti4400 and I'm currently running the 28.83 drivers. I tried the 29.40's and and I lost about 300 points in 3dmark. The OpenGL was much faster though. Which dets would you recommend?

Try 29.11 if you're running Win2k/XP. They are meant to be the fastest out of 29.xx so far and faster then 28.32 - but could be a bit unstable as a result, though most ppl found them ok.

Thanks for that, I've just changed to the 28.90's and they've made a big difference, up from 10,911 3Dmarks to 11,125 3Dmarks. Do you think the 29.11's will be faster? I've noticed that the image quality in the pixel shader and nature scene in 3Dmark is much better than with the 28.32's. The pixel shader seems smoother and more defined. Is this something that all the 29 series share?

perhaps, the speed must come from somewhere

- but u might find 28.90 just as good so stay with them if u wish - they're not bad...

I cannot see why people keep struggling for that extra 3dmarkpoint....it meens absolutely nothing in real gaming..

[SIZE=x-small]Perhaps, wait for the next Detonator 5 32.xx

. Try the 29.11 and the new 29.42. Compare them by yourself and see whats fast...[/size]

Iagree, there is absolutely no point whatsoever. But it looks good!! I'm now using the 29.60's which seem just as fast and have been 100% reliable, also the IQ seems to have improved somewhat. I also noticed that the miniport driver 29.42> alludes to the NV30 and NV31 (plain and OGL). That's more exciting than a few hundred extra 3dmarks...
