BigDaddyWiz · 01-31-2002, 10:59 AM

guru3d has the dets 27.20. now on omaha, i'm mostly in the yellow fps numbers instead of the red. so they did help out somewhat i guess.

Not offical release. Maybe "leaked" betas?

I installed the Detonator drivers Sotilas Jane linked to and they increased my FPS quite a bit, especially during combat. I've experienced at least a 10% increase, or 10 FPS.

My previous driver's were 2.3.1.1. and these drivers say 2.3.1.2. Where does the 27.20 come from?

Sotilas Jane · 02-01-2002, 01:24 AM

I think the 27.20 comes from the fact that the new major detonator release is near (GeForce4 release?). I heard that these new drivers (at least in the second major release) could get up to 50% increase when there is high polygon count (e.g Omaha)

These drivers also fixed the famous "infinite loop" bug, that could crash your computer while playing games.

These are beta's of the DET 5 drivers, which will be released with the Geforce 4 on Feb 5th.

Sotilas Jane · 02-01-2002, 07:24 AM

Was about the damn time they get that "infinite loop n straight to BSOD" bug fixed.

Oh and thanks for the link Rudedog
