3.5s were more stable for me ... these force my computer into 4-color mode. If you've never seen Windows XP in 4-color mode ... don't worry, it's scary.

Yeah, apparentlt these drivers make some peoples GPU do funny things, so if in doubt, revert back to 3.5 :thumbup:

Yes, they made my card go into infinite loops while Windows was sitting idle. Very strange indeed.

I haven't had any real problems with these drivers though I get much lower frame rates in one 2D game and in HL (and its mods) than I did with my Ti 4200. (the rest of the games and benchmarks run much faster than on my old card of course)

I haven't tried the 3.5 drivers yet, so I'll give them a shot and compare.

thanks john you da man!

Hmm...I got the 3.5 and I've only noticed an improvement in CS, where my frame rates are almost as good as they were on my Ti 4200. 2D games are still very slow and I get much worse frame rates in 3D mark 2003 tests...It goes down to about 11 fps in the Mother Nature Scene...I used to have 14 or 24 in those places.

I dunno, there's something weird about these ATI drivers...And FSAA and AF never works whether I change it from the ATI control pannel or with a tweaking program...I really gotta find a working tweaker for this...You guys know any?
