I'm pleased to announce (incase you aren't already aware) that nVidia has just today released the latest version of their Detonator drivers - v52.16!
Get them now at www.nvidia.com - file weighs in at around 18.5meg.
Having installed them myself, I am happy to report a massive improvement in performance in Halo - I'm now running the game at 1280x1024 with max graphical settings and, for the most part, the game runs smoothly! This is compared to before when the game absolutely crawled even in the smallest of fight sequences.
Not sure of how the drivers affect other games - think I read somewhere that it may even have a slightly adverse affect, but I can't confirm this for the time being - look forward to seeing how it handles Max Payne 2 tomorrow though! :D

Or alternatively, simply download the English only drivers for 8.7 Mb.
Anyway, cheers for pointing out that the new drives have been released. I checked earlier in the week and it was the old 45.23 drivers.
Lets see if this makes a difference with the halo demo on my 1.8Athlon 512 Mb geforce5 fx 5600…… I *certainly* hope so……….Gearbox make an appalling conversion.

Heh, i meant couldnt you change the card when you were buying the PC? I thought you got a drop down menu to choose from or something.

Change the card?
Tweakable options?
Do you mean to imply that I might wave a magic wand and transform the card into a stable and useful Creative card?

You cant change the card in the tweakable options?
Yes, but MAXX PCs don't come with Creative FX cards, do they? Just gay Sparkle ones that like to choke on games they should cruise through, and randomly force your PC to erset every now and then.

Sparkle arent bad. Creative Labs make the best quality geforce cards though.

New drivers? I hope against hope that they can somehow combat the shittiness of my sparkle card.
But halo ran a treat
Catastrophic Error when going into the new drivers display properties.

Oh forgot tosay it's a GeForce3, so there really is no reason. :)
