I would consider getting a geForce_3 card if someone could guarantee that the 2D quality is comparable to my 64MB Radeon or even a Matrox G550. My original ge_256 featured a blurred desktop @ 1024x768 and washed out colours on my Sony CPD-400PS.............

Quake3 v3.20

Well they surprised me with this sudden, unannounced, and unexpected release of drivers.

Now if only they'd say what they fixed/changed/improved each time they release some new ones..

Hey anyone have the probelm in XP where it will not let you install new detonator drivers? Everytime I try to reinstall the drivers, it automatically disables the device in device manager, and when I try to enable it, it reverts back to the standard Microsoft supplied Geforce Drivers which suck. I can't install the detonators anymore! Help!

I have a Hercules Geforce2 GTS/Pro

Funny.. my Geforce 3 TI 500 came with 21.85s in the box. I wonder why they didn't release those instead.

Are these 21.83 drivers better than the 21.81 drivers, My machine running Windows2000 and VisionTek Geforce3 wouldn't run any directx games with the 21.81 drivers installed. The one it would run would crash shortly after starting.

Im currently running the 12.41 drivers because they were the only ones I could find that worked.
