Best driver for Gforce 2 GTS ?

Spitfire22 · 10-15-2002, 11:58 AM

Anyone out there done any driver comparisons for the Gforce 2 GTS cards ?, I'm using the 29.42 now and was wondering which driver provides the best perf & stability ?

I tried many including the new 40 series and always went back to 23.11's.

Hmm, I was using those at one time and always thought they were a good driver, maybe time to go back......

Thanks and

Garnet

I've tried many drivers on my Geforce 2 and I always come back to the 23.11s too

23.11's + GF2 - best match IMO - and fawwssst - very fawwssst indeed!

I was using 30.21 I think it was. I was playing some games and it seems to be running better with the 23.11 drivers.

IMO.....anything after 23.11 was optimized for GF3 and later GF4. I think they got all the goodness out of the GF2 with the 23.11. Face it, we were all looking for that extra 3DMark number with every driver release, but unfortunately we peaked at the 23.11!

I have a GeForce 2 Pro, I believe it's one step above the GTS.

Would the 23.11 drivers be optimized for that particular vid-card too??

Thank you.

I believe you'll find the 23.11's will suit your card very well!

Try it and then try a driver a few notches newer and see if there are any improvements.

i just installed an GF2 GTS card and did quite a bit of testing...using 23.11 to 27.41 to 30.82 and found the 27.50 to work best in win9x and 27.51 in XP

I was just thinking about this very subject this week.

oh well when next year comes around I'll have a new vid card on my computer... and I'll use the GTS pro for my second computer. its a good card for gaming and other video activities just not going to amount too much when Doom 3 comes out ......

I thought by now everyone switched to either GF4 4600 or ATI 9700.
I'm glad to hear that there are other people beside me still using the GF2.
