I have a GF2MX Vid card and (dumb) dowloaded the new detonator drivers and now AH plays choppy as hell, is there a better (older) version of the drivers out there i can download ?

Wierd thing is, my frame rate (under cloud cover) is 30 avg, but the display is choppy as i fly, It didn't do this until i installed the new drivers. with the default ones (i don't know what they were when i bought the machine) there was some screen flicker, but it was at least playable

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: forgot to mention :

Win ME P4 1.4Mhz
GF2 MX (64MB)
Need any other info?

I think the newest drivers (23.11?) work best with DX8.1.

I think the 12.90 driver is the best of the batch. It usually benchmarks the highest of the older ones.

I had that exact experience (good fr, but choppy action) when I installed the 23.11 drivers for my GEForce 2 card.

I re-installed the 21.83 drivers and that cured the problem. I had the drivers on cdrom but I think they are also available at the nvidia website.

Sorry.. been busy in the Help and Training forums.

I get 'em here. I always recommend the WHQL certified versions where possible, but if you get a set that works good for you, DON"T SCREW WITH IT!

Never put on the "latest" Detonators unless you have to, and even then try to stick with WHQL certified versions.

Hey Leph, thanks, but when i tried to go to that sight, none of the links on the download page worked, I was going to try out some of those other sets, because i found out my wife's "Everquest" game is FUBAR in only 640x480 resolution with this set of drivers. (it looks all offcenter and over-sized for the screen but looks just fine in 800x600 and 1024x768)
