Your findings appear correct. Have you read the new Abit SiluroMX review here at Sysopt?

http://sysopt.earthweb.com/reviews/siluro/index.html

I have compared the MX against the v3 3000, TNT-2 Ultra, and GeForce-2 GTS. Benchmarks include Quake3, UT, and 3DMark2000.

I have been using 7.17 with DirectX 8.0 for all of my GeForce-based cards. However, most will find 5.45 provides the best performance for TNT-x cards.

BTW, thanks for the positive comment about my new article!

Which is the best Detonator driver? Here are the results of benchmarks:
- For (any) GeForce cards: 6.34 or 6.35 (still avoid those 7.xy's);
- For TNT2s (or TNTs): 5.32 (or later from the 5.xx series).

Compare and see yourself, if you don't believe it!
