6600 Driver versions (0point/nvidia)

dbldown768 · Nov 9, 2006, 01:40 AM

I have an AGP 4x Geforce 6600 card made by ASUS...its not the gt version. I was just curious if i should use the newest forceware drivers for the best performance ( currently 93.71) or should i try and use the [COLOR=black]DHzer0point Drivers even though their version is lower than the current nvidia drivers?

yes, you should use the newest drivers available. they can only help. and if they don't revert to the last set you knew worked, or try a set of beta drivers.

btw, that works at 4x/8x speeds

does that mean the nvidia drivers will have better performance that the zeroPoint drivers? I thought the zeropoint drivers were supposed to have better performance?

not too sure about that one. AFAIK, the DHZP drivers offer better performance, and better IQ over the offical release of the drivers.

The DHzer0point drivers were meant to offer better IQ and performance of the stock driver that was tweaked. That does not necessarily mean they will be any better than the newer drivers.
As CDsDontBurn said, the newer drivers can only really help since there has been a multitude of bug fixes for specific games.
