Detonator4 - 21.81 drivers.

I get at least a 25% framerate increase in beta AH, errm between stutters caused by every line of text to appear on screen.
My 3dmark2001 score went from 1984 to 2256..

And now back to 12.41's so I can use the beta..

oh yeah, Powercolour GF2 MX 32mb (with crap ram on it)

They work fine with standard AH though

Skurj, were you running the new beta14?  Text stutter was fixed for me and several others.

Running Beta 14 now with the new drivers and my Asus GeForce 3.  Makes quite a difference, I'm very impressed!   :)

One thing I noticed yesterday is that I couldn't seem to get FSAA enabled.  I checked the boxes OK in the windows properties, but it didn't make a difference in AH.  Maybe just a quirk, I didn't really mess with it that much.

The new drivers did just as promised =)

I have a score of 4126 in 3dmark 2002 now, and IL2 runs silk in open GL (excellent settings @ 1024x768

aces is around 55-75 fps

i bet the 40% increase isnt meant as your games are 40% quicker either!

its probably an improved score for some windows graphic application.The web site claims the new detonator XP give a 50% increase.no way would they suddenly realise theyve been running a card at 2/3rds capacity.
although i hope it does . my GF2 MX dual display could use a boost  :D

Lephturn,

 How did I ever doubt you   :rolleyes: ! Going to switch back to 12.41. Do I have to remove the 21.81, or can I just write over the 21.81s.

Thanks,
Scot
