Omega drivers also work which I use.

I think it was 1.6693 (6.14.10.6693)

Which is what I'm using now, but the Omega version.

I had better luck and framrates using the Quality drivers, set the image setting slider to Performance ( middle Left ) and ofcourse v-sync to: ON.

The other sliders I left alone..apllication controlled.


The newer drivers don't help this video card, they will just slow it down.

ForceWare 61.77 is the version that runs best with that card. Newer ones will cause issues.

I am running that card.

61.77 drivers are what you need to run.

cheers,

61.77 Omega drivers work well on this. My buddy's PC has that card (I just recently canned my 5200 AGP), and he went through abut 8 different driver sets (53.03 on the install CD, iirc, and about half of the newer drivers on the Nvid site). Installing the 61.77s cured some really odd issues he had. I suggest those first, and if you're adventurous, install later drivers, and compare performance.
