I've looked through the driver list on the site, but I'm still not sure which one will give me the best performance while running EverQuest<br> <br> My system configuration:<br> <br> Amd K6-2 450<br> 128MB RAM<br> Tyan S1590S Trinity 100AT Motherboard<br> IBM ESS Solo-1 PCI Audio Adapter<br> Conexant PCI Speakerphone/Data/Fax/Voice modem<br> VideoExcel 128 Riva TNT2 64/64 Pro 32MB<br> <br> Hehe... also, why can't I find VideoExcel's site?
For my TNT2 vanta 32 mb<br> the best seems detonator 5.08<br> <br> In UT and in Q3 that one gives the best performance.<br> I dont know what engine everquest uses, and which renderer it works best with, but I think you cant go wrong with older drivers.<br> Last week i rechecked, tried a detonator III(6.47)<br> and I could not get the same out of it.<br> Maybe you should stick to older drivers like 5.08, because your card does not support the extra features of newer drivers, and older drivers were written especially for the tnt/tnt2( not geforce)<br> Use not the drivers from your card, stick to nvidia reference drivers, most users think they do a better job<br> <br> Videoexcel? Is that a real brand?( just kidding, kenn)<br> No really, is it a real brand? (hehe)<br> <br> <br> <br>
The 5.xx drivers are best for TNT/TNT2 cards in terms of speed but for compatibility, you just can't beat the 6.50 drivers.<br> <br> Oh yeah, you're in the wrong forum , if you post it in the Nvidia forum you'll get more replies.<br> <br> Cheers,<br> Robsal<br>
I strongly disagree. <br> For my TNT2 i done a lot of extensive testing with Det 5.32 and 6.50, both the ones official:<br> DD Speed 2.01<br> Ziff Davis Speed Rate<br> pcplayerD3d<br> 3DMark99<br> FinalReality 1.01<br> MBTR<br> Tirtanium 1.9<br> Unreal226f<br> Expendable<br> Incoming<br> Quake2-320<br> Heretic2 1.0<br> HalfLife 1.1.0.6<br> SeriousSam<br> Quake3<br> Soldier of Fortune<br> Fogcity<br> <br> The results are in generally close BUT 6.50 manages to be ahead of 5.32.<br> In the other few games 6.50 is MUCH BETTER than 5.32 - for instance Unreal 32bit, or 5.32 is unplayable:Serious Sam, Incoming, Deathtrap Dungeon and Diablo2.<br> <br> For my previous TNT i reccomend 5.32 as 6.50 is worse in 2d, GDI and probably 3d but i didn't did extensive testing with that system.
