New Nvidia Drivers!


Yeah well Nvidia's new official drivers are out, and I was wondering if they would increase my gf fx 5950 ultra performance in anyway or they just mainly for the 6800 series?

ok i wasnt very precise on my first post. i did gain 300points but that was over the last newest drivers.
ive since been told to use some older ones for better benchmarks.
but these id use for gaming.

Yeah I tried them out and i lost 1200 points... in 3dmark01, but for some reason my 03 score stayed basically the same.

Which drivers are we talking about? I may be using them :X

And which "older" ones are the best? (the ones everyone said are better)

we're talking about the new ones just released by nvidia... Personally I go with 53.03 nvidia drivers for the best scores for both 03 and 01 3dmarks because the 44s that they recommend for 01 does not support my gf fx 5950 ultra, so I am forced to use the 53.03 which seems to work fine for me... Really when it comes down to drivers I would use what is most stable for you for gaming, and what gives you the best performance for benchmarking...

Ugh, i'm using the new ones. Although I never run 3Dmark's though, mostly because with my 5600 it won't make any difference. =P
