Improving Performance: Forceware 60.72 (Beta)
Posted: Sun Apr 11, 2004 8:04 pmJust thought that I would offer this advice to any guys who want a performance boost on nvidia based cards.
Beta Forceware drivers were released during the week (60.72), out of curiosity I decided to try them out, previously to this I was using 56.72. I downloaded the new ones and I got a boost of about 8 frames per second, which makes a huge difference during scene transitions.
These are beta drivers, so I don't know how stable they are, but personally I have had no problems, Currently R4 is running very smoothly on a lowly Geforce 4mx 440 with the new beta drivers, I'm not a gamer so I don't want to upgrade my graphics card at the moment, and this driver means I don't need to upgrade just to run R4 at a decent framerate.
If anyone needs a performance boost I recommend these drivers, if you have problems you can always rollback to 56.72
All the original mirrors are disappearing so I have mirrored the drivers on my server: http://atcork.com/files/60.72_winxp2k.exe
or just google it, if for some reason I have removed the file.
