Detonator FX officially released for all OSes.

digitalwanderer · May 14, 2003, 11:02 AM

You can go and download 'em from nVidia, they have the DetFX's available for all OSes.

BTW-DetFX=44.03, I'm downloading the 98se set since I've already played with the XP ones.

**MIG-31** · May 14, 2003, 11:11 AM

downloading now

FluffyChicken · May 14, 2003, 11:48 AM

and only this morning I downloaded 43.45

hum * 44.03 is WHQL Certified for the GeForce FX family of GPUs

Guess their "Unified Architecture" isn't quite unified

**MIG-31** · May 14, 2003, 12:01 PM

my best driver to date.previous 43.51 whql had a slight skip during gameplay

~~shai~~ · May 14, 2003, 12:21 PM

but is this faster on gfx 4 cards

**MIG-31** · May 14, 2003, 12:50 PM

it appears to be at the moment still testing out

~~shai~~ · May 14, 2003, 01:05 PM

ok buddy post the results
and your old results as well

ryanraab · May 14, 2003, 01:53 PM

For me they were not lieing about the 30% incease. Also the quality has been improved for me. I have a geforce 4. I have tested with newer games and older games and not even out games that are in beta stage. They all work perfectly.

Talon · May 14, 2003, 02:00 PM

Will Omega be "tweaking" these as well?? If so, I will wait for those

digitalwanderer · May 14, 2003, 02:03 PM

For me they score about the exact same on 3dm2k1se...but I'm pretty CPU limited on that anymore. I'm off to test some more, more later.

(BTW-The image quality in the 9x/me set is SUPERB!

)

Junk · May 14, 2003, 03:30 PM

yeah..the iq of these drivers really are great. i got a 10 frame increase in splinter cell at 1280x1024x32, and even more frames at lower resolutions..

Bruzer · May 14, 2003, 03:31 PM

They tested well, played well with great IQ, so no complaints from me. However, the infamous warning about non-certified drivers came up at the beginning of installation indicating of course non WHQL drivers. Anyone else see this? Thanks.

**MIG-31** · May 14, 2003, 03:45 PM

i had the same thing for my gf4ti4200. apparently there only whql for the fx series of cards.

digitalwanderer · May 14, 2003, 03:50 PM

I got a 200+ bump in 3dm2k3 score and it looked pretty good...'cept for some sort of weird 'dancing sprites' around the airplanes in the first game test.....

never able to install them from the other day.but these are still sort of beta's due to only fx series having whql signed

Don't know yet. I just downloaded the 9x set today since they're new...I haven't gotten around to getting the XP set yet. (Sorry, I'll quit slacking.

)

Bruzer · May 14, 2003, 08:13 PM

Wondering if anyone knows the difference between the:

nv4_disp.inf and the nv4_disp2.inf

Does it make a difference which one you choose for installation? Thanks.

i think one of them is the whql set for the fx series..

Bruzer · May 14, 2003, 09:37 PM

Thanks Junk, that's what I'm thinking as well. Question is, which one is which?

Bruzer · May 14, 2003, 10:01 PM

OK, here's the deal. The nv4_disp.inf is for the FX series. The nv4_disp2.inf is for everything else.

hi,
those marks of yours, they're way too low..........well, never mind i had that problem too a month ago, if i'm not wrong , you havent installed the AGP drivers...............right??

**MIG-31** · May 16, 2003, 04:41 AM

my agp drivers are upto date sis 650 chipset version 115.they are the lastest on sis website.

**MIG-31** · May 16, 2003, 04:44 AM

p.s the motherboard is a nec (but not + on that one) ga 8siml built by legend (sub devision of nec apparently)

**MIG-31** · May 16, 2003, 05:01 AM

ps my score has slightly increased to 8981

Kgentatszu] · May 16, 2003, 06:36 AM

i think you 'd better run a fresh install.........any try again ....they are just WAY TOO LOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Kgentatszu] · May 16, 2003, 06:38 AM

by the way, you can always consult SHUKI bout the problem, cause he helped me a lot..

erickmOrillo · May 16, 2003, 06:40 AM

Any gain with the old ones? (eg. ti4200, ti 4600)

Kgentatszu] · May 16, 2003, 06:45 AM

who has tried installing 44.03 and gain performance compared to 43.51??
