But here a new question appears: is it WORTHED to install newer drivers

or
not? i have GF4 MX400 card and i often wonder that...


What ARE the best drivers for the Ti-4200 actually?

Some say 44.03 (the one I use)
Some say 43.45 (as he uses)
Some say 45.23 (haven't tested those)

Anyway, Source (Half-Life 2) complained about the drivers beeing to
old with 44.03, but the newer drivers has no better DX9 support,
right, as this is as hardware thing (says hardware DX8 and software
DX9 in the Half-Life 2 video settings pane). Or.... ?

'Source' is just a typical game engine - suggest using the latest driver
with little regard on whether it'd actually make any difference! I still use
a Inno3D 4200 and I'm using 61.77. Prior to these I'd stuck with 31.40
'cause they were 100% stable and I could run all my games (up until I had to
get some later ones - hence 61.77). Again, I'm not going to upgrade these
until I attempt something that just will not work with them. There are
always going to be minor improvements/fixes in driver releases for old cards
but nothing major.
