Detonators 41.09 are out - Page 2

dhkimboa · November 29th, 2002

hey sxamiga have you tried this drivers ?
are they faster than 41.03 ?

November 29th, 2002

Yes, dhkim, I have tried them and they do, indeed seem to be faster than the 41.03 drivers. I also have NV30 (GeForce FX) emulation turned on in OGL through Riva Tuner. Remember though that my card is a GF4 TI 4600 so different Nvidia based cards might get different results. But for me, I see a speed increase and with the NV30 emulation and Pete's great plugins (vers.167) even Diablo for the PSX is looking pretty good.
As for those people who have GF4 MX cards, I would say to use these drivers at your own risk. You may or may not see improvements. The reason I say this is because, from what I have seen, these drivers are aimed more at the higher end cards. Namely the GF3 TIs, GF4 TIs, and the GeForce FX when it comes out.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

The NV25 is the GPU designation for the GF4 TI 4600 and the NV30 is the GPU designation for the GeForce FX (which has yet to be released). OGL has nothing to do w/the GPU designations.
In Riva Tuner, you can enable NV30 (GeForce FX) emulation in OGL.
This means that when running OGL games or applications, your card will be emulating some of the features of the GeForce FX. But from what I gather, this emulation is best suited to the GF4 TI 4200, 4400, and 4600 cards. The other thing is that NV30 emulation is only available in OGL, not in D3D. I hope this makes it clearer for you, what I ment when I said NV30 emulation in OGL. BTW, it DOES make a difference.
dhkim, you have a GF4 TI 4200, correct? If so, then I think that you will be quite pleased w/the new 41.09 Detonator drivers.
sincerely,
sx/amiga

New? it is available since 41.03 drivers :]

BTW that thingy just changes the "Mipmap LOD Bias adjustment" that u can find too on RivaTuner and it was knew before as "Mipmap detail level" just that now is a little more... simplier :P
