Well what a happy surprise for a Saturday! New drivers and the best tweaker has been updated to 2.0 RC12. You can find all the applicable links here.

Looks like this forum needs to be changed to: Dig's Dive or some such.

I got the new Riva > great as usual! (I gotta send unwinder a couple $$$ one day)

I dumped the 40.71. It was awful for me. SLLLOOOWWW!!!! Back to the 40.52 & lovin' every minute of it! Carries the same frames as the 28.32 (fastest driver for me) & the IQ is extremely nice. Glad Alex (unwinder) got Riva to driver oc on these new ones. Have you tried the NV30 emulation in power user for the 40.xx's? Does Riva work w/your 8500?

How is the 30.87 driver? Lemme know plz, I'm kinda burnt on testing.

See ya around & don't slam the door in here: the echo is deafening. LOL!

Sorry, but your post cracked me up for some reason. (In a good way, laughing with ya not at ya. )

It's a weekend, it's slow. Some people don't like to spend their every free moment in front of the computer I guess. (Weirdos!) It seems quiet all over the net today if it's any consolation, not just DH. Methinks it's a conspiracy...

Yeah, me too. RivaTuner is an incredible program and the only tweaker I use, I loves it whenever it gets updated. BIG props and thanks to Unwinder, as always.

The whole 40.xx series just seems a bit glitchy to me on mine. I gotta agree on the IQ though, the 40's really got the eye-candy DOWN!

The who, the what, the where?!? I just discovered the "optimization" button in the anisotropic section in D3D and am getting happily confused with it... (What the hell is a rendering stage anyways? )

Yup and the new Riva works with the 9700/9000, but only for the low-level stuff. It doesn't do any driver tweakage. (But it OCs my 8500 really sweet, I like low-level better than driver level even though I can't explain why.)

Surprisingly tasty! They worked really well on Bubbles, I posted about it earlier in this thread over at Elite Bastards. Basically they're quicker & stabiler for me, but the still got a lock-up problem with the NOLF2 demo for me.

WHAT?!?! You weirdo! After reading your post I'm gonna go and try out the 28.32 set again and see if it locks NOLF2 up on me.

Glad ya got a chuckle out of it.

NV30 emulation > Power User page. Click on the folder w/the magnifying glass on it (open matched det database) at the bottom of the page & install (for the 40.52 & 40.71 driver). Now click on the "NVIDIA Detonator 40.xx w9x OpenGL" box w/the + in it. Scroll down. See NV30Emulate ?? Put the #3 in there & try an OpenGL proggie like GLExcess. Does it look different? On my MX400 I can't really tell. WAH!

Have fun!!
