Where from? Matrox still only have the beta drivers for download.

[Olivier]

Go to the Matrox web site, yes it's still beta drivers, but new beta !

[Ad B]

I'm downloading them, but the site says they're still the same old beta.

Here is the oddball thing about the driver location on the FTP site.. it's in the archive section! That threw me for a loop because I always check the FTP site first (real men use wget, ;-) )

Refresh your browser then, cause they are the new 5.01 beta drivers released Feb 10th as opposed to the old 5.00 drivers...

Good call...

Guyv!

Thanks to Matrox.

I'm brave and installed the drivers (G200 and W2K). No problems so far, but it has only been about 20 minutes.

They don't work well for me. I get kicked out of UT when I launch a (local) map...

Correction: not all maps crash, but DM-UTCP_SilentSands does (always, and with or without User.FlipOnVBlank/User.TripleBuffer registry settings).

New win2000 work for me so far. I tested with 3dmark2000 and it ran through completely for the first time in Win2000. The only test skipped was the agp 64meg test which failed because it claimed there was not enough agp memory (there is enough with win98se).
The results 3002 for the standard test. Specs: P500e at 667, 256meg, G400max, Asus P3B-F @133fsb, win2000(2195).

Two more tests FS2000 is ok at 25 (airport) to 100 (sky) fps at night in Chicago.
QIII runs better now the title screen is not corrupt, the mouse can now navigate the menus, and fps has increased. Demo1 and 2 gave me 38 fps at 1024*768, 16bit colour, and bilinear filtering.
My opinion is that these win2000 drivers deliver a big improvement.
