Someone wanna help a needy gamer out?!

I hate my 4200 ti!

It has been a long time since I've posted on here... man life started moving quick... (I like it when things are slower)

Anyway, I updated my drivers (for once) the other day... abnd Im running the 62.xx drivers...

and well, they suck to be frank. I need to opinions on what to use with my setup. (4200 ti 64mb.)

are the 5x.xx series the driver to be ... or should I find some good 6.x.xx series to work with...?

Whats your guys experience?!

thanks guys.

Well, the GeForce4's are a few years old...it's just about their time.

(when I saw that I wasn't able to do certain things with my 4200Ti, I realized that it was becoming outdated...luckily...I got a 6800GT for my birthday from my roommate.

for the geforce4 series cards the best drivers are actually the 4 series drivers...they yeild the highest benchmarks...and newer drivers are loaded with features that your card doesnt support...so its not necessarily worth updating.

I thought that as well, Until I loaded on the 1.5672a Omega Drivers. I had the card in my machine only 2 weeks ago. For me, those were the ones that outdid all others.

I'm thinking when those TI's came out they were a little ahead of there time!

, my 6800 should be here today or or tomorrow but I'll run the TI in my server anyway! Hell of a card, sure has been good!

You have a vacancy? I'd like a 6800GT, too.

Really, my Ti4200 worked well with Omega's 1.4523a. Anything older than a Ti4200 I'd recommend this version.

they did a test over at guru3d and the tweaked (starstorm or omegas) of the 45s performed the best for that card.
