Did anybody tried the new W9x 5.08 drivers?
I installed them yesterday night on my dual boot box.
Yes I know this post is a little off-topic, but maybe not so as I constantly compare performance between W2k and W98 and progress made by the new OS.
These drivers are simply incredible in opengl! (Did not try in d3d yet). Not only in Q3A (S3TC) but also in a few 3d apps I gave a first try (Unreal, FogCity bench ...). I mean double digit improvement!
I think this gives us an idea of what we shall have in the very near future in W2K.
Imagine such drivers with SMP enabled... Whoops!

I'm also hoping NVIDIA releases a driver like this for Win2K, I wouldn't see why not but the question is when. I'm fairly happy with the latest 3.78's but there's lots of room for improvement.
