Ok, I decided to try a few drivers for my viper 770 TNT2 to see which is the best. Here are my fps for the timedemo of demo001. I have the 3.65 drivers installed and I just replace the opengl ICD (nvoglnt.dll) from various releases. Det 3.69 = 1st time 49.7 2nd time 50.6 Det 3.68 = 1st time 59.2 2nd time 63.6 Det 3.53 = 1st time 57.0 2nd time 58.4 The Det 3.86 opengl ICD is availible from the new NT4 drivers posted on nVidia's site. Just download them and take out that nvoglnt.dll file and put it in your system32 directory. Voila! Better performance

yeah, did anyone with a tnt2 install these and notice a great difference? i'm reluctant to change drivers because the 3.65 ones don't uninstall that well and i'd have to do it like partially manually and delete junk out of the registry fun. -spacey-

umm yeah i think i have it, get me on icq 2991793 and i'll dig it up for you if you really must have it

99b has worked for me since RC1, I suspect 2000 would also if I cared enough to get it... I think its a problem at your end, try uninstalling it and checking the registry after and then do a fresh install.

if you have a banshee don't play UT in d3d anyway! its horribly slow compared to what performance you'd get in glide.

err thats the dumbest name i've ever seen but you can fix your tnt2 problem, your psychological ones, i dun know... just install the 3.65 drivers and take the 3.53 nvoglnt.dll and stick it in the system32 directory and put cg_draw3dicons 0 into the autoexec.cfg

umm there is no .5 of win2k and that combo should be working fine. My friend has the exact same setup except he's got 366's at 550. We were running the 3.65 drivers and thats it...

there's the 3.65 drivers from seldzar.dhs.org they're faster but sorta unstable in q3a i found, but i got them to run fine by playing with some vis settings. some ppl said if you replaced the ogl driver from an older version like 3.53 it'd work better but it isn't as fast i found.

maybe we should get a FAQ up for nVidia Cards similar to those for the 3Dfx cards?

Hi, I just got a new TNT2 but the 3.65 drivers from seldzar.dhs.org kind of screw up in Q3A. When I play the screen goes light yellow except for like the minature player model in the HUD. I took the nvoglnt.dll from the reference drivers for Winnt 4.0 and it runs fine but its quite slow since its such and old version. Anyone have any ideas please? spacey

ah ok thanks, yeah i was sure it was posted somewhere, but i was too overwhelmed by so many msgs to check them all 3.56 is probably a better choice because its newer right?

seldzar.dhs.org win2kbox.8m.com man, sometimes i think we should have those two links plastered all over this forum just so ppl know and don't have to ask over and over... they're great sites, just need some publicity here.

yes, i've noticed that too. with my 10baset network it takes awhile to connect but once it does its ok. i personally have my win2k machine as the server so there's no problem at all

Anyone try Directx 7.0A yet? Its suppose to have fixed DirectInput stuff, this might be the answer we need for all those who are having problems with their mouse buttons gooing up during games? I read on the MS Site that it should be included in the final version of Win2k, but any chance we can get it going before we have the final copy in our hands? spacey

What FTP programs do you guys use under RC2? I tried CuteFTP 3.02 but it keeps crashing...anyone got any ideas to anything better? WS_FTP maybe? -Spacey-

I did a fresh reinstall of RC3 and I got Netmeeting, I'm quite sure RC3 was the first build to have it.

AHA! Woo, what wonderful posts... I was wondering about that stuff...but I thought I was a fruit and didn't know what was going on...excellent!

I believe those drivers should have D3D support...well I can play GTA2 in D3D with them.

it has to do with dumb MS Direct Input I believe...I have problems with my MouseMan+ also, but it works fine if you don't change the controls in q3a once you're in, but once you do, you have to quit out and come back in. I am also just using the default win2k drivers...if I use the logitech ones I can no longer use the wheel in windows

yup so do i its worked every time..from RC1 to RC3 installed from scratch

Err I have a Quantum 3D banshee and the textures are alright. I'm running RC3 and I'm using the drivers that Seldzar and Chameleon have posted on their sites. -SpaceY-

I'd have to say the best ftp server program I've seen and I've tried WarFTP, Serv-U both...is G6 FTP Server, check it out: http://www.gene6.com [spaceY]

Anyone running the Banshee drivers described on the 3dfx readme file (available to download from http://seldzar.dhs.org/ or http://win2k.8m.com). I'm having problems with screen shots in glide. I seems I can only take 1 in a game (tested in q3 and messiah) before it the game quits out. Any ideas? Plus, the new Winnt 4.0 Banshee drivers...does anyone know if anything in that driver set my be useful to add into those 2K drivers? SpaceY

Does anyone's winamp 2.5e sometimes crash? Mine does, sometimes at the end of a song or when I just run it, win2k says its generated an error and has to be shut down. -SpaceY-

Yeah, I figured it was happening when Winamp tried to load ID3 tags or whenever a new song was loaded, there was a chance something would bust. I got Winamp 2.5 and 2.5c and they both work fine...I unno whats up with 2.5e
