New drivers win2k 571

[jtk]

I dont know if anybody else is having problems with win2k 571
new drivers for win2k and xp, they seem to be very slow and not stable on g450 dh, in quake3 fps go down from 95 to 54 and a lot of video coruption in games and freezing, i seem to be having to many problems at the moment with games opengl and this g450
i have tried everything and i mean everything but nothing works,
if anybody has any more good ideas please post or i will be looking for a new grafic card.

We had a thread about the 5.71 beta drivers when they were first released (just do a search and you'll find it). I got bored that day and did some benchmarking. I was using a G400 instead of a G450 and it was not a clean OS install so take my numbers with a grain of salt. The conclusion I came up with was that D3D is slightly slower and OpenGL performance plummeted when using Win2K with these drivers. The 6.71 drivers for Win98/ME apparently don't have this problem. You're probably much better off sticking with the 5.5X drivers under Win2K.
