Detonator 44.65 Feedback Thread

[DSC]

Warp2Search once again gets the latest leaked Detonators. Go and test them.... :D

According to W2S, it works on nearly all cards.

LOL!!!!

However, ATI have been accused of "application detections" over here too.

Seems this will not end anytime soon :(

Now I see what is happening at Nvidia, they have all been absorbed into the Borg!!

Found this in the 44.65's:

Locutus II v%d.00 LOG_ID=%s

:eek:

[Deathlike2]

They look ok.. that's about it...

There are a few modifications to the control panel.. similar to the 44.10 drivers...

However.. instead of disable aniso filtering.. it's application now...

There SHOULD BE a disable aniso feature.. just for the sake of it.. sheesh.. like AA

NVidia's not getting smarter here...

Is there any other links? ? ? I can't get anything off of Warp2Search. . . .

My 5900 needs em. . . . ;)

:angel:

For about 2 second (on my Geforce4 Ti4400), but was very disapointed, let alone p*ssed off! The lacklustre performance on IGI2 and GTA: Vice City (whereby the computer halts for about 8 seconds when entering a car) was simply too :eek:

I have downgraded to 43.51...

In short, I urge you all to turn a blind eye to all but official dets. :D

3DMark03 tests on my 5800 Ultra (quality)....

44.03 - 320 patch : 5353
44.03 - 330 patch : 4713

44.65 - 330 patch : 5358

IQ is equal between 44.03 + 330 and 44.65 + 330.

[prodikal]

you telling the thruth tertsi?

[tertsi]

YEP!

Wings 165fps+
proxy 36fps+
troll 30fps+
nature 35fps+

Anyone wanna take bets about whether nVidia found a way to improve their performance by damn near EXACTLY what they needed to ta equal their pre-"optimization" scores or if'n rather they just found a new way around the latest cheat protection?

I'm guessing the latter, but I'm a bit of a cynic with nVidia lately... :bleh:

[Evildeus]

They seem to be DX9 compliant at least...

Teebus, I have not seen this issue? What kind of system are you running? You might want to check your AGP aperture. Should be 1/2 your system memory. I've seen slow downs on my system due to a small aperture.

[teebus]

My AGP aperature is set to 256MB, which is half of my 512MB of DDR PC 3200 RAM

[cmor]

system specs?

[Orlando]

I'm sticking with these drivers as they've fixed the FSAA issue for me in Morrowind. Haven't tested any benchmarks though.

[garikfox]

These are nice driver's.

[RAY16]

What does " AGP aperature" do?

[Hawk]

Cheating or not, they take the 5900 to a new level. I'm just shy of 7K w/ 3DMark03.

Thanks, just found my new sig.

BTW: lol.

[Flipper]

very good drivers, very good - quality and speed

[cmor]

AGP Aperture allocates system Ram to be used for AGP. You can observe the ram allocated in DX Info under non local video memory.
