I am planning to upgrade my nvidia drivers. SO far I have been using the default ones provided with win XP, so I think I don't I have detonator drivers installed.
My sys configuration is:
P-III 450Mhz
320 MB Ram
RIva TNT I graphics card (AGP - 16MB video ram)
Should I upgrade to this version of detonator to get best perfomance.
Also I am runnign DIRECTX 8.00. Can I use this same version with detonator drivers 4.03 without upgrading to DIRECTX 9

Thanks in advance

What good would newer drivers do. What games will you play with it? I doubt that there will be anything different for such an old GPU. I have a GF2MX and I use 41.09 because of the new look.

I still use dx8.1 cos some games won't run on 9.

I'm running the 43.51 release for today's NVidia Detonators w/ DirectX 9.0a & all is well...

(Games, WinTV, WMP on all formats... etc.)

BUT, then again, I'm no big DirectX gamer either... I play IDSoftware stuff mostly & mostly OpenGL formatted games... DirectX comes into play for me on multimedia apps, & MS is great about backward compatibility in their Win32 API's, bigtime! One of their strengths in fact... I think so @ least & what keeps me programming around their work, it's elegant, flexible & intelligent.



* Can't complain actually, working great w/ a Dual CPU Pentium III 1140mhz o/c'd 1gb of Micron PC-133 SDRAM & a GeForce 4 Ti4600 AGP 4x 128mb RAM vidcard!

APK

P.S.=> I'd recommend the latest 43.51 drivers, they replaced the 43.45 in my downloads folder today in fact after testing... apk

the latest nvidia drivers will not change a SINGLE thing for you card since it is so old, so if things work now, no reason to upgrade.

I've used to own a Riva TNT card, and i've tried numerous drivers and i discovered (verified on 3 of my friend's TNT2 and M64) that 28.32 is the best driver for the TNT cards. Newer release will give it problems, 2D animation shutter.

But for Geforce 1/2/MX new drivers won't do any harm though, and will give u slightly better performance.

P.S. It is recommended to upgrade to latest directx edition (9.0a)
