New Nvidia driver?

I’m using the 2.9.4.2. also with winXP, have had those corruptions in the past but no prblems so far except with terrain tool running slower and the snapshot feature taking 10 minutes to finish, which I’m blaming on the Riva TNT/64 Pro video card. 1.8 G, 512 DDR ram.

I checked the Windows Update site today (expecting only to find Windows 2000 Service Pack 3), and noticed that there also seems to be a new Nvidia driver available (it says version 2.9.4.2). Has anyone tried this yet? I’m running a GeForce2 on Windows 2000.

Hi Troub,

I have been using the 29.80 version from the Nvidia site. It has not given any problems in 3DC or MSTS.

Well, I went ahead and downloaded the 2.9.4.2 driver the other day after I posted my question, and I’m glad to report that I’ve had no problems so far. For me, that’s quite a statement when it comes to new Nvidia drivers. I almost always have some problems, including:

1. The entire Direct3D viewport is garbled.
or
2. The Direct3D preview of an Extrude Object or a Crease Operation is garbled.
or
3. Some other viewport corruption.

I’ve only been successful using drivers from the Windows Update site.

These new (2.9.4.2) drivers [i:5bg084pq]do[/i:5bg084pq] seem to offer some performance benefit in addition to being stable. <!– s:) –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!– s:) –>

My system specs are 933 MHz Pentium III, 256 MB RAM, 32 MB GeForce2, Windows 2000.

I’m using the new Nvidia drivers 2.9.4.2 with Windows XP Home Edition and Geforce 4 and so far no problems. andnbsp;On the contrary performance has become better and I don’t get those error reports any more that suggest to update the video drivers.

That’s interesting. . .are you raytracing your snapshots, or do you render them in Direct3D?

Actually thats just the preview- it’s of a terrain with auto and backdrop-probably just a lot of andquot;stuffandquot;.
