Enjoy!

Downloading now, just hoping it doesnt have that oh-so-annoying-brief-pausing-in-game issue the last 50 some have on my card.

I have that issue Genexi, but I believe it's a motherboard issue - I have a giga-byte motherboard and managed to get it down to just occasional pauses instead of outright crashing just with a bios upgrade ;]

Well, no freezing so far (havent played any of the CPU crazy games, just FFXI, but I had freezing in it too on previous drivers), but the fog is f'd up in FFXI, and Worms Armageddon runs incredibly slow in the menu (and that is a P100mhz game).....

If they can keep out the freezing problem in the next release, but also fix the problem they broke as mentioned above, I think I'll be happy with nVidia for once.

WA is of course a 2d game... I'd dare say BB/B+ is affected too?

So far I've played only BF2, Halo, and some ps1 games using PSXEven and I've noticed no slowdowns. Yeah that freezing issue is sometimes to do with the motherboard and pci latency or something. You might need to fiddle with the PCI wait states or set the AGP wait-states to 0 or 1 or whatever is the lowest.

My GFX card is still fecked with these drivers :'(

You can hear it whistle when it tries to do something hard, and if you try to use AA, it crashes :/

Sounds to me like a very bad gfx card =] They aren't supposed to output sound, you know...
