Anyone try the new nVidia 44.03's???
I'm downloading them now. 56k dailup though so it'll take a while.
Amazingly, they're WHQL'd for a change. Anybody try 'em out yet? Are they any good?

The computer I'm on now has 44.03s on it (not my system) and I've not seen a single problem with any of the games on it (he has a Ti4600). I'm gonna boot up a game with the card cranked to see how it goes soon.

I get a decent speed increase in Battlefield 1942. I didn't think that Nvidia could push the Geforce 2 MX any further, but I guess I was wrong.
AND ANISOTROPIC FILTERING DOESN'T LOOK LIKE ASS ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!111  |

). The only game where enabling anisotropic filtering results in an unacceptable performance drop is Battlefield 1942. Older games like UT, Quake 3, etc run fine with it on. |
