Since Kruzin seemed shocked that I was still using the PD4.11 drivers I decided to upgrade to the PD5.13. I followed Matroxs' instructions exactly. I used their uninstall utility followed by using Win98s' FIND utility to make sure that no G200 files were left. I also checked the Registry to make sure nothing was left there. Did all the reboots and installed the PD5.13 while in Standard VGA mode.
Everything installed as per instructions. No crashes lol. Since AW3D has a built-in FPS counter and I play online quite a bit I used AW3D as my bench mark gauge. Well I was surprised to see that with the PD5.13 drivers the FPS was consistently about 6 FPS less in 2D and 3D compared to the PD4.11 drivers.
How can this be since the old PD4.11 drivers don't even use "DIME"? Wonder how the PD4.51 drivers will do on my system? I have now switched back to the PD4.11 drivers and am anxiously waiting for the release of the PD5.3x.
