52.16 drivers - will it help Ti-4200 cards?
Hi all,
I recently read (on guru3d.com) about the great new 62.16 drivers and how they're supposed to be totally new and totally rewritten. This reviewer on guru3d.com really liked the drivers. My question is: Will these drivers help my GF4-Ti4200 128MB Card or are they geared more towards the newer FX-5XXX cards? P.S.: I just noticed that the latest drivers are 53.03 |

I did not like them for my FX5600-256...but then I don't like the card
neither...the older drivers I found worked way better...I have a 4200VTD8x in my other system..which is a way better card then this one. I get to return this one and am going to get a 9600XT. For you..stay with the older ones...I ran the 45.23 and had great luck with them. |

The latest drivers are for the FX cards with DX9. For stability with your
older card use the 45.23 driver. -- DaveW "Viken Karaguesian" wrote in message ...

Try to remain with the 38.xx driver set for that card, unless you play games like HALO - then you need the latest. The 44~46.xx drivers worked like pure **** on my Ti4200, the 52.xx worked much better, allowed Halo to work right - but older games suffered still - but still very playable. But like anything else, what works for one people may not work for another. -- Remember when real men used Real computers!? When 512K of video RAM was a lot! Death to Palladium & WPA!! |

Playing Halo with 41.09 np.
To answer your question , No. Stick with 30.xx or 40.xx Experiment and benchmark which version your system likes most.Mine wants 41.09 B.t.w. the 30.82 are still the most stable drivers for any nvidia card.

Will you please stop repeating this crap!! ;-)
The latest '5' series drivers work fine with Ti4200... in fact thay are often required to play newer games like Halo and CoD. Stability has never been an issue for the four systems I use on a daily basis - all with 53.03 drivers There are some problems with some old games and later drivers but all (?) the newer games seem to prefer '5' series drivers + DX9. (All IMHO) Not trying to start a flame war, just trying to stamp out an urban myth before it gets fossilised into internet 'truth'..... Some, none or all of you may differ..... opinions please!
