Driver specific optimizations

Pan Chan · November 30th, 2006

Sometimes having the latest video drivers can decrease stability and performance in gaming. Sometimes video cards need specific driver versions in order to run particular applications optimally. For example, on my FX5500 the best driver for it and the game Morrowind is the 45.xx drivers. What would be the best nvidia driver for my 5500 using epsxe and pete's openGL 1.7? Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

I'd say just keep the 45.xx series, I see no reason to change. Maybe check out some Omega drivers?

I'll try out the Omega 45.xx drivers. Thanks for pointing out the omega drivers, I almost completely forgot about them.
