[Marco]

Since today there are new driver's on Matrox Home.w9x_525 released today.

[Snake-Eyes]

Thanks for the heads up Marco. On my way to download 'em right now. The 5.21 killed my OpenGL framerates, so hopefully this rectify that situation.

They will be on the MURC soon.

The 5.25 drivers contain an ICD which is basically the same as that in 5.21 but it has Vsync disabled by default. The beta ICD will show some speed improvement in OpenGL games. To use the beta ICD you need to install 5.25 then unzip it into your windows\system directory.

[Jorden]

does the beta ICD work on a G200 as well???

Checking before I install it

[Ant]

No it's G400 only, sorry

Ant, can you put up a local copy, I am unable to log onto the matrox site, DNS problem.

Any word on new NT drivers? Right now the NT ICD for g400's REALLY sucks. This beta ICD on works for win9x right?

Thanks
Chris

I meant win9x only, not NT.
