post your scores here! go on you know you want to

Um are these the same exact drivers that were leaked some time ago?

refresh compatible?

Smash - yeah I think they are except they are WHQL Certified now.

me - What are you talking about?? They work with rivatuner and nvrefreshtool like every other driver... hope you're not still using the old refresh rate fix

I think the binaries are different since it is WHQL.

Any bugs or differences you guys experienced?

I had trouble getting into CS to test the average fps, but that turned out to be a conflict between Fraps and CS. Lost 26 points in 3DMark2001, but my game play is smoother and has a higher fps. Anistropy makes no difference in performance (Average of 1.3 fps difference on the HD tests in 3DMark2001.) Texture quality is not as good as the 29.80 drivers (They seem kind of blurry to me.).

Gained 300 pionts from 8900 to 9100

Games seems smoother and a bit faster

"Official nVidia Detonators 30.82 WHQL Released for All OS's."


uhhh, I only see the windows versions here, am I blind or what? )

Well, Linux dont count as an OS

I installed the new 30.82 driver and I had a problem with the screen center shifting to the left 2 inches during gameplay under DirectX. This caused me to lose two inches of the screen on the left side, making gameplay very annoying. I have a new Dell Dimension 8200 powering a Quadro 4 900XGL running Windows XP Pro. I reinstalled the 29.80 series and the problem went away. Gained 300 points in 3DMark 2001 with the 30.82, but SpecViewPerf results were the same as the 29.80. I am able to obtain over 106 fps in ProCDRS. Anyone know why the screen shift would occur?

Pakoe: the new driver resets your monitor, just like you pressing the Reset button. You'll just need to readjust the screen geometry.

I have a Hercules GeForce III. How come with every new driver I install I get worse performance? Using 3Dmark 2001 SE, 30.82 is a bit worse than 29.42. Both are a lot worse than 23.12 which I'm going back now.
I got 3dmark score of 6034 on 23.12 but 5397 on 30.82?

Am I alone in this problem or anybody else experiencing the same thing?

Thanks for the help. This is the first driver to shift the screen like this, but the geometry fix worked great. The 30.82 gave me around 300 more points in 3DMark 2001 from 10443 to 10733 than the older 29.80. I'm running a Quadro 4 900XGL card on a Dell Dimension 8200, 2.2Ghz P4, 512Mb RDRAM. Looks to me like the 29.80 had a bit better image quality with anti-aliasing turned off. With the 4X 9-tap anti-aliasing turned on, the game proceeded to run perfectly smooth with both drivers. At 4X anti-aliasing, the 3DMark came to 8400 with the 30.82 and 7500 with the 29.80. This is a low drop in performance, most likely because the Quadro card has a hardware anti-aliasing chipset. I've seen a drop to around 5000 with the GeForce4 Ti4600 series.
