Another crappy driver 41.03?

Hog54 · Oct 24, 2002, 01:13 PM

this one is the crappiest yet!i dont understand never had a problem with any nvidia driver until all these 40.xx drivers started coming out.one more and ill be thinking about getting an ATI card which i never ever wanted to do. thats 4 in a row!

digitalwanderer · Oct 24, 2002, 01:34 PM

I sort of like 'em. I haven't had any real problems with them, they're zippy, and the IQ is incredibly tasty to me. What's not to love about 'em?

Chaos · Oct 24, 2002, 01:54 PM

I tend to agree with Digi on this one. The image quality is sweeeeeet!!

Smart one - ATI rollz.
My friend prefers Omega's 30.82 based over any 4x.xx's.

I'd like to know why the drivers are listed on the Quadro page.

control panel gets screwed if you just install over your previous drivers.

Kelsenellenelvian · Oct 25, 2002, 02:39 AM

Tried that one, and it didnt work, used nv cleaner etc etc even resorted to a reinstall of XP one day and still did it on a fresh revamp.

Sorted it via a post on the newsgroup.
For all those people having issues with control panel try this.

If your control panel is crashing after installing the 41.03's try renaming
the file c:\winnt\system32\nvrseng.dll to something else, worked for me!

To those who have Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2: Have you noticed any performance/IQ issues with the game? It seems that with these drivers, that the game is running a bit slower, and IQ has gone down. Time to revert to older drivers again!

Ryan_clemens · Oct 25, 2002, 10:08 PM

I have stopped uninstalling because windows xp creates new monitor drivers each time you do.. I have 8 monitor drivers currently installed and I cannot remove any of them from the registry.. does anybody know how to?? I am going to email nvidia about it..

Scott · Oct 26, 2002, 05:21 AM

These Drivers are the best ones yet! All the coolbit tweaks work now and my Open GL benchmarks Jumped up a considerable bit! (

enough to place me into 7th overall in my class on GLexcess!

) Very stable and allowed me to achieve a better overclock on my Totaly air cooled Soyo Dragon Ultra Platium Edition Athlon XP 2100+ System with a Gainward Geforce4 Ti4600 750 Golden Sample. ( 334/741 ) 8311 XS Marks. Im very Pleased! YOU MUST deinstall all previous drivers first no exceptions, if you want the best performance!

They rock for me too.

You have to uninstall monitor (manually) every time you uninstall drivers. It is the whole procedure.
Now the solution is - reinstallation.

TOuTaTiS · Oct 27, 2002, 04:30 PM

does anyone have refreshrate problems with these drivers (41.03)?
because I can't the rates fixed

I use NV refresh tool since 40.xx and it has worked fine until now...

anybody got an idea?

reno · Oct 27, 2002, 05:42 PM

Worth replacing the 40.72s with? I know OpenGL performance with the 40.72s isn't necessarily the greatest...but my little 56k dreads another 12meg download.

From what I heard - it is worth it.

Carnoustie · Oct 27, 2002, 07:06 PM

you can set the refresh rate in the cotrol panel,direct3D settings,refresh rate overide.You dont need any 3rd party program.

gibbon565 · Oct 29, 2002, 08:33 PM

Hell yes it's worth changing to the 41.03's as this is the biggest and best out there and I think that Nvidia have really outdone themselves with these, Game like UT 2003 run like a dream with all the settings on maX and AA on 4x for me and AF on 8x n1 Nvidia

Kelsenellenelvian · Oct 30, 2002, 06:45 AM

I love the easy performance options!!!! Hi gibbon
