Driver Question
 
Is using the 52.16 drivers with a geforce Ti4200 a waste of time since the
52xx are mainly for the FX series of cards? Should I just use earlier
drivers (44.03 or 45.23)? I don't notice a big difference except for 3D Mark
scores which go down for the 52.16's. Is there any advantage to using the
newer drivers with an older card?

I had 4200ti 64 and the best driver I ever had was 30.82.

The 52.16 driver includes instructions for the advanced shaders that are
part of the DX9 spec, which only the FX cards include.

I agree,i use a 4400ti 128 with the 30.82 drivers.Best performance for my

Flight Sim even though they score low on benchmarks.

Same for me , I was using a creative 4200TI-64 with FS2002 on a P4-1.9 and
everything set to max except 3D clouds at 50% , the sim was very smooth .
Have never O/C the card .
30.82 was definitety the best driver.
For FS9 , 4200TI is limited unfortunately .
Another sim , another time......

Not all the FX cards would have the advanced shaders. I believe that the FX
5200s do not have them, or not the complete settings.

That is incorrect. The 5200 is just (lots) slower than the other cards in
the series.
