Anyone know if Detonator 4 (7.78-win9x) has as much affect on GF2 benchmarks as it has on GF3 benchmarks??

There's almost no way it could help the GeForce 2's as much as the GeForce 3's. They're designed for the 3's.

They're supposed to help a little, but not a great deal.

Thanks, That's pretty much what I figured. I haven't tried the drivers yet myself, but If I do get time to test them, I'll try and let ya'll know if it's worth it for GF2s.

If you even find them, let us know. Nobody knows where they are.

The 7.xx drivers are NOT detonator 4's, they were mistaken to be Det4's when they first came out, which is like... a year ago? I forgot.

But the real Det4 Driver should give GF2's about 15%-20% performance boost, and approximately 30% for GF3.

Okay...thanks 4 the heads up...I wondered why they went back down to 5.xx through 7.xx

Although this site is calling them Detonator 4, it just goes to show, you can't believe everything you see on the internet. http://www.videocarddrivers.com/nvidia.phtml

The det 4's give the GF2 line a small boost, about 5% or so.
