Weird...

[Shannon]

Well, I've got a temporary harddrive in because my other one was failing. So, I had to load all my stuff back onto it. I loaded up the drivers that came with my GeForce 4 so I could start playing some games.

Anyway, a couple days back I got Splinter Cell for the PC and the graphics were awesome. I got on the net and downloaded the latest Detonator drivers, installed them and went back to Splinter Cell. And man, I have never seen that many jaggies in my entire life. I went into the GeForce 4 settings and set the antialiasing to 4 times, made sure the Mipmap settings were set to Best Image Quality and all the rest of it, and still - more jaggies than ever. I uninstalled the GeForce drivers, reinstalled my old ones and everything is good again.

It's no biggie. I'm just curious. You would think newer drivers would produce better gamin results than older drivers. And before you ask - yes, I did uninstall the old drivers before installing the new ones.

That just happends some times. Thats why they offer older version drivers because things like this happends from time to time. Try again once newer drivers come out. If that dont work go back to the ones you have now, and wait and keep trying newer ones that come out from time to time. I always say it its not broke it dont need to be fixed.

Quick question: If it ain't broken, why fix it?
Meaning: If everything was looking good before, why did you feel you should update drivers if nothing bad was happening?

The 42.9x and 43.xx drivers have anti-aliasing problems with some DirectX games.

I thought it might run better- framerate, etc.

I installed the latest drivers for my Geforce 2 GTS and I was having major graphical problems in Photoshop and Flash, I found an old driver and it fixed these bugs that made the porgrams unusable.
