Detonator 43.51 WHQL Win98/ME/2000/XP

Two weeks ago we brought you Detonator drivers version 43.51, this time we have the WHQL versions available. WHQL simply means that Microsoft has tested and verified these drivers, after their approval the drivers are stamped with the WHQL logo and thus certification.

We have both Windows 98/ME and Windows 2000/XP available.

I've tested these drivers on Windows 2000 for a change (normally Windows XP) and indeed they are 100% certified.

The archive's files are dated 2 April 2003 which makes this the youngest set available online right now. Furthermore all nVidia graphics cards to date are compatible with these drivers which includes the new GeForceFX 5200, 5600 and 5800 series. No word yet on any performance increases. Let us know your experiences in our forums please. We have a dedicated nVidia drivers section.

The archive includes a setup.exe for easy installing. Language files are Included.

I see no differnce in performance with these and the non WHQL version

D.D. · May 1st, 2003

wow! thanks yeloazndevil for the news!

BTW, are these outperforming the 43.45s?

**Yeloazndevil** · May 1st, 2003

well I see a little speed up over the 43.45 and some FSAA Modes are fixed and among other things

dhkimboa · May 1st, 2003

they should be no difference between the actual 43.51 and the past ones. Since the only difference is WHQL

Phoenix · May 1st, 2003

basicaly the same dhkim, just the security catalog file known as the WHQL certification is included.
The same report for the 43.51 non WHQL

the only reason it is 19 MB is they have language support if u remove all the languages except English these drivers would 9 MB

D.D. · May 2nd, 2003

ic, so these are good to go. I'll be dl' these then.

Phoenix · May 3rd, 2003

D.D. the main differences between the 43.45 and the 43.51 are that the image quality is better in the 43.45 and the FSAA and AF issues with the 43.45 are fixed in the 43.51 also the 43.51 are a bit faster than the 43.45, these 43.51 WHQL are the same as the 43.51 they just added the WQH certification

i was wondering if the speed ups apply to a gf4 mx 420 card, or are they only for higher end cards? i'm gonna try installing to drivers to see if there is a difference on a gf4 mx card too.

Archlyn · May 14th, 2003

Well folks, the Detenator FX's are officially here, up on nVidia's site. Dunno about any speed increases (doubt I'll see any with my GF4) but they're here

Phoenix · May 15th, 2003
