Official Detonator 40.41 out!

[cnhoff]

I would not be surprised, if those would give The G4TI's a major performance boost, with the 9700's slowly coming out now

Let's see some benchies!

 

[PING]

Can't wait to try it out. BTW, uninstall the previous driver.

blatant copy from nvidia

Up to a 25% increase in performance
nView? 2.0 multi-display technology increases productivity and provides the necessary tools to control the way users access and view applications.
NVRotate? enabling image rotation on today?s advanced flat panel displays.
NVKeystone? allows for real-time image correction on portable projectors and heads-up displays.
Digital Vibrance Control? allows users to adjust color controls to achieve accurate, bright colors under all conditions.
New control panel streamlines user interface and enables faster and easier access to all video settings
Robust Channels enables higher faster performance and better stability for all applications through fail-safe paths in the drivers
CineFX Simulator allows developers to use Cg??C for graphics??to write complex shaders in a high level language faster and more easily than before.
NVIDIA?s patented Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) ? supports all products in single a driver binary


get the driver

Damn, I'm at work...can't wait...benchies...pleeeeeaseee.... :frown:

 

[cnhoff]

Yes, good work NVidia!!!

My 3DMark2001 score went up almost 1300 points from 10512 to 11793. Nice increase!

BTW: P4@2400, TI4200@300/540

 

[cnhoff]

WOW,

Nature went up from 37,5 to 69,9, that's 85% faster!

Vertex Shader up from 34,3 to 97,7, that's 184% faster!

Incredible, not quite a 9700, but I think the NV Driver section has once again kicked some ass!

Woooooooooo Hoooooooooooo

Perhaps now I can join the 10K club...

 

[Vegito]

damn i can't wait, i just got my visiontek 4600 the other day and i was 10,500 already.. hahahahah

Yes,I found out the hard way,btw anybody got NVRresh program working with these drivers? I know at least two people that can`t get the NVRefresh Tool v1.0 program working with them.

 

[LarryJoe]

Man, another sweet driver with refresh rate problems. I don't get it, why doesn't nvidia fix this? That sucks if Nvrefresh doesn't work. I'll give these a try when I get home, but please keep us posted of a simple work-around like nvrefresh.

 

[SupermanCK]

D@MN....i can't wait either...i guess Nvidia had some more tricks up their sleeves...

 

[DoobieOnline]

My benchmark (GF4 Ti4200 64MB in 3DMark2K) actually dropped with the new driver - from 10,825 to 10,702. Since it's so close, I'll probably keep the 40.41 over 29.42 unless I see some freaky stuff going on in games. I'll run it again with 3DMark2001 on my Ti4600 at home tonight.

3DMark2001 on the Ti4200 scored 10,064 and I definitely noticed "Nature" frame rates jumped considerably.

 

[Taz4158]

I went from 11,300 to 12,200 give or take.

 

[Instan00dles]

Ok nice 3dmark increase but does it actually help with real games? so far it seems like all it did was increase pixle shading thats why nature went up. Anyone had a chance to try a game like ut2003, serious sam 2 or jk2?

 

[cdub]

I know it is too early for extensive testing, but I too get a little suspicious when just a few tests in 3dMark go up... nVidia needs to show that they are competing to keep high-end card sales up, and I wouldn't put a little 3dMark sleight-of-hand past them. I will of course be updating my drivers as soon as I get home though.

 

[Anubis]

my 3d Mark went from 10469 to 11380 and i was gettin over 100FPS in the nature test peaked at 113

Edit: Rinnin a MSI TI4600 315/740

 

[Silverbullet28]

Thanks for the info guys, will give them a try when I get off work.

Yes. Cutting texture image quality to boost performance. This one is even worse than the last "update". I guess 3dmarks are more important than texture quality. Link

You, sir, are an idiot. Omega so called "drivers" use very aggressive LOD setting, that only looks good on still pictures. Once in motion, it's a shimmer hell. Also, what is this have to do with the subject anyway? Compared to the last Nvidia sets (and not the hacked crap), IQ is the same, and people reporting performance increases.

[Nighthawk69]

/me wants them for Linux! Hey, every FPS counts in Q3

 

[Mk1980]

Ok, omega drivers,,in games no real difference, in 3dmark2001 BIG difference in nature, so wonderfull fluent 60% performance boost in nature for me on Ti4200 128mb 310\580. But I am working still on 30.82 as they are working with all , and are really official

 

[Chakotay]

About 700 points increase here with an overclocked GF4 Ti4200 128 MB and direct9 beta2. I also tried codecreatures, the new drivers don't seem to do anything extra there...

Specs, don't mind the Dutch
