Tried them out. While they are generally ok, if I base their performance on 3DMark 2001 SE and 3DMark 03, they are slower compared to 44.67. I've rolled back to 44.67 as these are WHQL drivers too.

I've got a problem with one of my machines (w/ TNT2 Vanta) where upgrading the video drivers actually reduces performance considerably i.e. dragging windows around the screen is very very slow... :mad:

Haven't tried 45.23 yet but does anyone have any other suggestions?



Besides replacing the card (smartarses ;)) The machine is only used for Web Browsing, E-mail and Office Apps. NO GAMING :p

I had a TNT 2 before. I suggest to stick with what XP installs automatically for the card.

Yep. I've found that they work the best so far. :)
