I just ordered a GF4 Ti 4800se card and was wondering what drivers would be best for that one?
Should I stick with Gainwards own drivers or use the Nvidia reference ones?
What Driver (number) would be most efficient? THANX

You could try the omega drivers <A HREF="http://www.omegacorner.com/" target="_new">here. </A>

Or go ahead and stick with the regular <A HREF="http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp" target="_new">nVidia </A>detonators...

I garnered a 15-20% increase in performance when I installed the omegadrivers for my 9500 pro. I average over 200 fps in UT now...it rawks. Hope this helps ya.

The newest Detonator drivers worked well for my Gainwards GF4 Ti4200 AGP4X card.

Give them a whirl.

Do you mean the newest nvidia official drivers? (44.03)

The newest DET. drivers are 44.90 ones availible at <A HREF="http://download.guru3d.com/detonator/" target="_new">theGURUof3D</A>

I would also recommend the <A HREF="http://www.omegacorner.com/" target="_new">OMEGA</A> Detonators, although it is their last batch. They get great kudos (they are more for quality and features more than just benchmark #s), until Nvidia threw their lawyers at tweakers; Ba$tardz!.

Thanx, what do you think about tuning programs like Rivatuner, are they worth a try?

Yeah, they usually help. I have an ATI R9600P and the ATI Omega's come with a tuner/overclocker. I would suggest going with those for your NV and it should come with a tweaker. Also check GURU, they have a bunch of recommended tweakers including RIVA and Powerstip.

I just used Rage3Dtweak to 'tune' my R9600P to 500/349 for a test comparison to an old post. So yes, I'm pro 'tuning' and pro-omegas (although like I said they are the last one [probably], read my thread about the Omegas)
