Whels,  how do you test your 3d mark?  Also, do you have do uninstall current drivers before installing this?

Thanks,


Jospe

It is recommened that you uninstall them, through the Add/Remove applet and then using Detonator Destroyer to make sure all related files have been uninstalled.  When installing video drivers, it's always best to do it via a fresh install.

I wonder how long it will be until they're WHQL Certified?

Any idea if/when they'll have new drivers for win98?  I can only find 40.41 drivers for winXP/2K

I don't know if you already have version 30.82 of the drivers but they're here (for Geforce and TNT cards):http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=win9x_30.82 (http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?IO=win9x_30.82)

Gentleman,

The link below has multiple posts from users who have installed and tested the new drivers.

I suggest you scroll to the bottom to read CUBEs comments on the drivers.

A very informative read:

I have the 30.82 drivers...  They seem to work ok.
I'd like that 25% speedup though :)
