New is not always better (Detonator Drivers)

[Spatula]

I read at work that the new detonator drivers were out and some people had reported up to 30% increase in FPS. Cool, i thought. So i downloaded them and installed them and then (as you do) ran aces high to check the FPS. I got about a 20-30% DECREASE in performance.
My video card is a Diamond Viper 770 (Non-Ultra) TNT2 32 Meg.
So i put the old (current) Diamond drivers back on and got back my 20-30% decrease. So back to normal for me.

My Specs are:
Diamond Viper 770 TNT2 32 Meg
AMD Athlon 650
Assus K7V Slot A Mainboard
128 Meg RAM PC 100
Diamond Monster Sound II (Aureal Vortex II)

Be warned new is not always better.
