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. -- DaveW "Chris Murfitt" wrote in message news:jfwtb.401033$9l5.81294@pd7tw2no...

... I had 4200ti 64 and the best driver I ever had was 30.82. 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...... MIKE737 "Danger Mouse" a écrit dans le message de ... "ART" wrote in message ... I had 4200ti 64 and the best driver I ever had was 30.82.

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. Y. "DaveW" wrote in message news:Alztb.207846$Fm2.203852@attbi_s04...
