Newest Detenator Driver

TrenD*KilleR · 01-20-2002, 12:17 AM

I have heard NOT to install the latest det. driver..When I bought my gforce 3 TI 500, the sellsman in EB even told me not to install the newest det. driver, what do you guys think? I'm still using the driver off my disk that came with my gforce 3..every game I have runs smooth --50 fps or better.
except MOH:AA 20 fps or less..Should I install the new driver?

With all due respect of EB and it's employees. I would not listen to them. At least not the ones in RI. That’s like asking the Radio Shack employee a technical question. LOL

I'm currently running the latest det. drivers with XP, without a problem.

Actually the guy at EB knew what he talking about. The 23.11 drivers(newest official) are horribly unstable on many setups.

Use the 21.83's.

I'm running the 23ll drivers and seem to be fine. (now that I said that I should have all sorts of problems on the 22nd when the games comes in)
What type of problems have you herd about with these drivers??? Just so I know.

All the sites I goto have not mentioned anything. There was some problems with other drivers but I skipped that version.

Thanks for the heads up though.

When I installed the 23.11 drivers, I had mad problems. My network card stopped functioning, sound freaked out, all sorts of stuff. I would have to recommend you stick with the manufacturer's drivers.

Manufacturers' drivers all follow the same reference design given to them from Nvidia. The only things that are changed and/or added is special features the manufacturer added to the card.

I have 23.11 drivers and they work awesome for me. I also have a g3 ti500. I usually get 70+ fps on MoH with everything jacked

I got the 23.11's and all my games run like crap, same with the 2183's. My suggestion is d/l the new drivers, try them, if you dont like em' use driver rollback or system restore.

The 23.11 modify a north bridge register on VIA motherboards that they shouldn't have. The problems are mainly with KT266/KT266A chipsets and 23.11 drivers.

I'm using thte 23.12's dated 12 dec 01 ... on a GF 3 TI 200 and don't notice much of a difference. Then again, I do have a Biostar QS 750 MB, Athlon 600, 288mb ram

I run my GeForce2 GTS DDR with The 23.11 Detonator, and moh:aa runs smooth as hell.
Before the installation i could hardly play at all...
