New nVidia drivers...

JuSTCHiLLiN · 2003-10-24, 02:24 PM

I've noticed a slight increase in frames and so have others in my outfit (one didn't though).

Yup, the 52's own.

The new drivers apparently have had a really negative affect on Battlefield1942 and Desert Combat. Yeah I know its off topic but I just read about it recently.

Wow do you have a link? I'll have to try BF1942 when i get home. I didnt notice any serious improvement on PS, didnt pay alot of attention when i played though, but Savage seemed to run a bit smoother.

Enjoying the quality loss?(That's how the 52 drivers increased FPS)

People are so hellbent on getting 100+ FPS in all games (even though your eye cant even tell the difference) that the quality loss is probably not a problem.

after 30 or so its all just the same, a 30 fps in every game and i'd be happy

Drinky · 2003-10-24, 04:32 PM

I always figured the reason to get 100+ fps was so that when you start loosing frames because of an increase in activity FPS wouldn't drop below what your eye can see.

What drinky said. The human eye can't perceive more than a 90fps.

I'll take the hit on quality if it means my fps in a huge battle jumps up a little bit.

The one thing I really noticed with these drivers is I can now fly freely through the swamp trees on Hossin without getting the 1 second hang that used to cause me to crash.

look all i ask for is a consat 60....Is that so much to ask for :-( i hate have'n 10 fps in super zerg's!

Everay · 2003-10-24, 08:24 PM

pfft, when i get 15 frames a second in PS it looks smooth to me, all i want is 15 frames a second, i want my FPS doubled....:cries:

Are the improvements only for FX cards, or the whole line of nVidia products?
I have a Ti4200 128mb, wondering if I should upgrade...

Shin1gami · 2003-10-25, 07:01 PM

Are the improvements only for FX cards or will GF4's get better performance too?

Shin1gami · 2003-10-25, 07:02 PM

hmm... buggy forum or browser...
