Nope I am still in the past, like I posted earlier these are great on my gf3 ti200, they are by far the best I have ever used.

As long as it's only D3D it works fine.

I didn't see a big increase in fps or 3dmark but quake 3, and UT and UT2K3 run alot better,

I'm still on GF3Ti200 also, I'll have to givem a try as well, see if it's all that better as you guy say. Can't wait!!
Is the refresh rate fixed on these?
Can you imagine your GF3 going 500/1000? Yaicks!!

The refresh rate has been fixed for some time...as long as it's a D3D app.
If it's OpenGL, I'd suggest Power Strip as a fix.

I've been using the 43.00 drivers since release until today when I tried to play Battlefield 1942 v1.3 and it kept dropping back to the desktop. All my other games run great though. So it must be Battlefield 1942. I went back down to the 42.90 drivers and it played without dropping me back to the desktop.

I haven't noticed any difference in the drivers. All games were running smooth before hand so its hard to tell.

Did anyone else have trouble running 43.00 drivers, direct x 9, and a ti4600 with Battlefield 1942?

DeMenAce · 03-06-2003, 08:04 PM

I got the same errors. Anyone get good drivers for Win98??

I suggest that your problems are more likely due to the fact that you're overclocking your system, rather than anything inherent in the drivers per se.
Overclocking is the single greatest source of user installed problems.
In my opinion, a few extra frames in some benchmark isn't worth the potential for system instabilty.
Why not try taking your system back to default settings, then re-installing the 43.00's and see if the issue is still present?
As far as why you didn't experience similar problems with the 42.90's, I'd say you just got lucky.

I just noticed that it appears your using some "tweaked" third-party BIOS, yes?
If this is true, it only cements my observation that any issue you're facing is more likely because of decisions you have made, rather than any fault that lies with the drivers themselves.
To eliminate doubt, I would use only default system settings and
an official non-beta (and certainly a non-tweaked) BIOS release.

By the way, God help you if you installed DX9 while you were in an overclocked state...

These drivers are awesome! They raised my score in 3dmark 2001se 10%! I was finally able to get past 10000!
My previous high was 9970, now it is 1071.

No image quality flaws that I have experienced at all.. either watching tv on my tv-tuner card, playing bf1942, jk2, or running 3dmark 2001se.

I would definitely recommend these 43.00 drivers for Geforce 3 Ti500 and older card users!

I had some problems with them. I went back to 41.09. Like you I have a ti4600. After installing them, Windows XP takes longer to boot up and my system rebooted for the first time ever. However, I don't have directx 9 installed.

It would be helpful to know how those problems manifested themselves.
I'm running a ti4600 with no issues that I can speak of.
