Det. 6.72 driver problems

[Nexus7]

Hello all,

I've been experimenting with several Det. drivers ranging from 6.31 all the way to 7.17. The problem is, that I've found that the 6.72 drivers tend to be the fastest of all the drivers, but I loose visual quality on Giants, bad color and crappy shadows. In UT at 1024x768x32 I get 119fps, but if I use another driver ie...6.31,47,67 etc... it goes back down to 85fps. Are there any other Det. drivers that can deliver the same performance w/out visual loss?
My machine specs are as follows.
MSI K7T pro2a
T-bird 900
128 megs Cas2
Leadtek Geforce2 GTS 32ddr
18gig WD ata/66 7200rpm HD
SB live 5.1
PCI DSL modem

I hope you all can help

From my personal experience, I found the 5.08 drivers to be the fastest of the 3.x-6.34 series, I don't know if they're gonna deliver the same performance on your comp but somehow they are really good on mine...

If you look real hard you have actually answered your own question. There is a reason for the higher frame rate and that is reduced quality. Don't get so caught up in this whole frame rate stuff 85fps is way more then you need so why worry about getting 120?

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing!

The image quality is the same for all the drivers, it's just that the 6.72 show the blood in giants as blue and the shadow on the character as a block. I do have the red blood patch installed. I'll go back to using the 6.50 drivers and wait until I see better results with a newer driver.
