Hi all,
I've just tried out the new DetonatorXP v21.81 by nVidia...
First, everything went fine.
But as I tried to orbit a planet, I got a blue screen - I don't know when I saw a blue screen under Windows 2000 the last time *g* - that said something about an error at nv4_disp.dll! A few seconds later, I saw my BIOS screen
So, I can give you only one advice:
DON'T EVEN THINK OF USING THIS DRIVER ...
I switched back to v14.70 (I love that one *g*)

Exactly what I excpected
I don't have a nvidea card.
but detonator 4 has been released exactly at the same time ATI's radeon II / 8500 got announced.
(Radeon II is better on the paper than geforce 3)
coincidence -> no !
probability is high that this is an unfinished driver !
apropos unfished: Radeon II is'nt even finished on chip level.
sick,sick,sick !!!
I don't want super high performance, I want reliable and bug free drivers / chips !!

Well i run the Det4 on my Geforce 256 DDR (Asus V6800) and it works really fine, i even think i have a few fps more than with the 10.80.
