Has anyone tried them yet? I really do want to install them, but when I saw the difference from D40.41 to 30.82 in both UT2003 and NOLF2, I really like the old 30.82.

Kelsenellenelvian · Sep 24, 2002, 11:37 AM

Damn I was just going to announce these!!!

Kelsenellenelvian · Sep 24, 2002, 11:37 AM

P.S. They are alot better than the 40.41's that I had...

typo989 · Sep 24, 2002, 11:54 AM

Benchmark (3DMark2001SE) With 40.52

Read the notes, just to make sure I'm not cheating with the Aniso to x0, or anything.

Kelsenellenelvian · Sep 24, 2002, 12:18 PM

I have been playing around with the new drivers and they are wonderfull!!!

Hog54 · Sep 24, 2002, 12:47 PM

and the refresh rate fix is included in them too

Bruzer · Sep 24, 2002, 12:57 PM

I'm very interested in results from owners of GF3 (Classic). I'll settle for Ti owners evaluations though. Thanks.

how do you get capture to work with the 40.52's? asus capture drivers separate? or does the vid-in even work?

Alan Allen · Sep 25, 2002, 02:38 AM

I don't use capture or vid in

means96 · Sep 25, 2002, 02:50 AM

I loaded 40.52 and got the following!

I also have an ASUS 8200 Deluxe O/C to 230/515
AMD 1G with 512 MB Ram
Windows XP Home
AMD A7A266 MB

All Antivirus and other programs disabled
All non required Services Disabled

3DMark 2001 SE = 5195

Got a 9% Increase over 40.41 Drivers and they were Pretty Good.

40.52 Driver Feels much Cleaner and Slightly Tighter. Installed straight over 40.41.

ti4200 128MB Card, Clean Boot, No Over Clock, Side Banding Enabled, 4X

40.41 2001se Pro build 330 index = 6813 3D Marks

40.52 2001se Pro build 330 index = 7678 3D Marks

865 3D Mark Increase is Slammin in my Book for Just Code Changes.
As I recall I was Close to this when over clocking 10% or so.
Did not check score on Geforce3 ti200 I have.

I say go for them, they are probably getting close to as clean as they will get.
Menu will probably get a little more work, and the 3D Freq Override Page is Nice.

Keep on nVidian..... Laterz

Kelsenellenelvian · Sep 25, 2002, 07:40 AM

I love the new interface after tweaking so the other options sho i.e. overclocking and such.

Alan Allen · Sep 25, 2002, 09:14 AM

means96, turn off vsync and you should do better

blix9 · Sep 25, 2002, 11:28 AM

Installed 40.52 last night. Tried few games and works well so far. I can't campare with 40.41 because I had Omega 1080 previously. Honestly, the Omega driver gave me better picture quality than this. However, I ran 3DMark 2001 and I got whopping 10350 and nothing overclocked. I used to get around 9700 with Omega. I still miss the better looking Omega's though.

here is my rig:

-AMD XP 1800 with Arkua 7228 HSF
-Abit NV7-133R(latest 84 BIOS)
-512 meg, 2 x 256 Xtreme DDR(single-sided)
-Leadtek Ti 4400 128MB Retail
-Maxtor 60gig ATA133
-Pioneer DVD 16x S106(slot loadong)
-Win XP pro
-nothing overclocked
-Antec 1030B case (with Antec TruPower 480W PSU)

means96 · Sep 26, 2002, 12:49 PM

Removed NVIDIA drivers while in safe mode
Allowed XP to select it's G-force 3 driver
loaded 40.52
Disabled VSYNC
Set all settings for heighest performance setting rather than quality

I also have an ASUS 8200 Deluxe O/C to 230/515
AMD 1G with 266 fsb on an ASUS A7A266 MB
512 MB 2100 Ram
Two 60GB 7200rpm ATA133 hard drives
Windows XP Home

All Antivirus and other programs disabled
No programs running in the background that I'm aware of
All non required Services Disabled

3DMark 2001 SE = 5195

Alan Allen · Sep 26, 2002, 12:58 PM

5195 is good! If you are running 3dmark in 32bit mode (which is the default when it comes up). You have to manually change it to 16bit and you will see quite an improvement in your speed.....in the 7000 range!

means96 · Sep 26, 2002, 05:13 PM

Thank's Alan Allen

I keep seing people with very similar setups to mine posting much faster marks than I have ever come close to and I keep wondering what's wrong with my system.

Alan Allen · Sep 26, 2002, 05:24 PM

Tell us what you get when you set 3dmark to 16 bit.

UnIcOrN · Sep 26, 2002, 09:25 PM

Well, in most games i don't have any probs with these Det's, except in BF 1942.
Sometimes there are major slowdowns, annoying flashing (looks like the screens tears in half).

UT2K3 Demo is little slower but the IQ is alot higher then with the 40.41
Cause of the flashing en slowdowns in BF I returned to the 31.40.

Good thing is a new 40.xx version is out, so i hope that these are better and hopefully fixed the flashing and so on.

For i forget i got an Abit Siluro GF4 Ti4400.

Alan Allen · Sep 26, 2002, 09:28 PM

I dumped the 40.52's for the new 40.71's that were released today and I am much happier!
Smoother running, more stable and very fast.

MasterYoshidino · Sep 27, 2002, 05:51 AM
