Perhaps someone will explain it to me

Hmm.. 3dmark 2001 sure doesnt like my new drivers...

nightowl · Post by **nightowl** » Fri Aug 17, 2001 3:13 am

UT seems alittle pepier with the new drivers

Edit: Big increase when there is no action going on.. decrease when there is action... somethings weird

So have I.. lol

I stopped up at 12.4x because it crashed half life non stop in win 2k

I am trying 12.90 now (i uses 10.80) because they seems to be slightly faster than 10.80

we'll see

YARDofSTUF · Post by **YARDofSTUF** » Fri Aug 17, 2001 8:15 am

errrrrrrr why is nvidia downa dn were are the det 4s!

one more tiny bump with a link of what i was saying

Here is the state of everything to clear everything up with you all

The Detonator 4's will be series 20.xx and the ONLY people that have them right now are a TIGHT SELECT FEW, Kyle from HardOCP doesn't even ahve them yet, BUT on Monday he should be getting them, and he is going to be giving t hem to me because I am going to do the GF3 Shootout with Them. NVIDIA's site as of right this second is currently down, I DO NOT KNOW WHY.

The Detonator 3's version 14.61 drivers were just leaked: http://www.electic.com/cgi-bin/news/New ... 8382.shtml

For the person that posted a link to FInal Reality Benchmark that Benchmark is from 1997!!!!!! From Remedy Entertainment, which then Made 3DMark 99 then 3DMark 99 MAX then Turned into MadOnion and made 3DMark 2000, and 3DMark 2001, you found the very first public benchmark Remedy made (which also has inklings of Max Payne in it) shows you how long Max Payne has been in development and why everyone was really waiting for it.....

Hope that helps
