What TNT2 ultra driver should I use?

[Dkay]

I have heard of the diamond drivers Being ****. Please someone let me know. Thanks

I have the viper770 ultra and am having good luck with nvidia's detonater drivers. I just went straight to them though, so I can't say wether diamond's drivers are good or not. But notice that the latest version of diamonds drivers is a few months old, nvidia is always updating.

Nvidia Detonator 2.08 drivers best so far.
The new 3.53/3.56 are crappy in my opinion.

I have been looking for the detonator 2.08 AGP drivers but can't find them. Can someone please give me the URL to where I can download this driver? Thank you.

dkay, ya know, they pulled the 2.08 detonator s off the Nvidia site! Anyone have a copy to email to him? Those 3.53 are junk.

I don't have the original 2.08 file (not sure if it was a zip or an exe), but I do have all the files expanded into one directory. I just zipped 'em all into a file called 208drive.zip ... There's a readme file that lists all the files you need and at a glance, it looks like they're all there.
I'll send it to ya Dkay
(sorry it's not the orig, but if you expand it into one directory and then run setup from there you're in business)
The file's 2MB so it might take a short while before you get it, I'm runnin' a 56K here

I'd definately agree, you want the 2.08 Detonator Drivers, makes that card scream!!!

Oh, yea, be sure to read all the readme files, you will need toset your video to:
***Standard PCI Graphics Adapter (VGA)***
before install, read up and you should see reference to that, it's in readme.txt

p.s. Hey, Toadman, how ya doin'?

P.S. I heard that ver. 2.17 is the best driver set to use.

Good job Toadman,
Do you have any info on the 2.17 driver?
Let me know if you hear of any reviews on it.
Have you tried it?
The only drivers that I've tried so far are the original Diamond drivers and the Nvidia 2.08 Detonator driver.
I saw such a notable difference that I've stayed with the 2.08 ever since (I based my decisions using the 99 MAX Benchmark, Tirtanium and, of course, just general performance.
I downloaded the new ZD Winbench the other day and thought it was not only a massive download (90MB) but also rather cumbersome, a pain to use and I personally wasn't very impressed by it, maybe it'll grow on me, but I doubt it. Anyway, thanks for the link!
