Guys, can someone shed a little light on this for me.

I have a GeForce4 FX5200 128Mb Card and have the Nvidia drivers installed (latest ones). Now..... these Detonator and Forceware drivers... will they improve the performance of the card? Its pretty good but I want more.

How can I make this faster? I get a little lag on CoD not much though.


All help welcome please!

I have an NVidia GeForce4 FX 5200 128Mb Card, what does everyone else have? Im thinking that I need a faster card - or at least one I can tweak? Any suggestions?

I've only got a GeForce Ti4200, but it works a treat for everything I play so far. Loverly

Are you using the latest drivers?

Im off on one here as my fire rate in CoD does not seem as quick as others, and my graphics are a little spongy when looking into the distance, that is a little laggy if moving around quickly?

Any suggestions?

You could perhaps try the older nvidia drivers (45.23 I think). You can get them on nVidia site or click here for the Win2k / XP version (http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_45.23.html). Also, check that your monitor refresh rate is up as high as possible (remember, this will report differently in windows and in game!). You can use utils like Rivatuner to fix the refresh rate in games.

I have FX5900 ultra 256mb the latest Nvidia drivers give me probs I use the older drivers as the new ones make some of the shaded distant objects stand out and it looks odd..

How much system memory you got? with 256 to 512 memory you may experence some lag and slower level loading time.
