Directx version for Detonator 4.03(latest)

Recommended Posts

I am planning to upgrade my nvidia drivers. SO far I have been using the default ones provided with win XP, so I think I don't I have detonator drivers installed.

My sys configuration is:

P-III 450Mhz

320 MB Ram

RIva TNT I graphics card (AGP - 16MB video ram)

Should I upgrade to this version of detonator to get best perfomance.

Also I am runnign DIRECTX 8.00. Can I use this same version with detonator drivers 4.03 without upgrading to DIRECTX 9

 

Thanks in advance

What good would newer drivers do. What games will you play with it? I doubt that there will be anything different for such an old GPU. I have a GF2MX and I use 41.09 because of the new look.

 

I still use dx8.1 cos some games won't run on 9.

the latest nvidia drivers will not change a SINGLE thing for you card since it is so old, so if things work now, no reason to upgrade.

I've used to own a Riva TNT card, and i've tried numerous drivers and i discovered (verified on 3 of my friend's TNT2 and M64) that 28.32 is the best driver for the TNT cards. Newer release will give it problems, 2D animation shutter.

 

But for Geforce 1/2/MX new drivers won't do any harm though, and will give u slightly better performance.

 

P.S. It is recommended to upgrade to latest directx edition (9.0a)
