    New Detonator Drivers! ....Version 40? What?

    http://www.guru3d.com/files/detonator/ (download)

    Advertised with up to a 25% performance boost with FSAA and other features enabled. Interesting.

    UPDATE:
    Back from minor benching...My 3DMark2001SE Score jumped from 10500 to 11600!

    There seems to be a disagreement between the drivers and RivaTuner-Rivatuner can't set the resolution properly.

    These drivers have a new layout. Anisotropic filtering is available under Direct3D.

    The only 25% performance boost showing up is in 3DMark2001SE benchmark.

    Later drivers are optimized for newer cards. Probably best to stick with older drivers.

    No kidding, I benched before and after and lost 152 marks with the new drivers.

    Nope. Omega Drivers increase the LOD. Problem is moire effects are increased.
