Yep, actually I'm using the latest Creative drivers and no performance difference. Perhaps it is related to some bios setting...

Are those drivers only for Asus Gforce cards? Or are they compatible with Creative ones?

I think I'd stick with your cards brand drivers as first choice and possibly try an nVidia driver as second choice. It's good to know what a new driver does/fixes before you load it. Some of the hardware evaluation sites report substantial frame rate gains with nVidia drivers and geforce cards but one has to be careful because most of the nVidia drivers are (not for official release) and may cause conflicts depending on the type of system. I wish somebody would put a chart together with the drivers and AGP cards etc. so we could tell what the heck is going on.

Now using 5.16 detonator drivers for TNT2/Gforce cards, they seem to work fine, but refresh rate is "fixed" to 60Hz for 1024x768, so, I cant get more than 59fps.

With preious drivers, sometimes, I got "polluted" graphics where the mouse pointer moves, even pixelated and corrupt vertical bars at windows startup screen.
