Downloading here, also.
So finally do we have customizable refresh rates?

[Goc]

Anyone know if these drivers are also for G200?

[Erich]

Nuno:

Yes there are customizable refresh rates.

[LrngToFly]

yeah... has anyone tried them with a G200?

[Nuno]

Damn I was missing monitor customizations in win2k

First overall impressions: Mixed feelings about performance. Like Quake2 is almost at win9x levels, going from 75 fps to 93 fps in one driver release is really tweaking up. But... Quake3 is scoring 10% slower in every res/color depth. Using the 5.06 ICD with 5.10 drivers restores performance. Something must be wrong here. Oh, and despite the marks in the wall corruptions being corrected in 16 bit, there is still flickering in 32 bit.

Can anyone confirm this horrible performance loss in Q3?

Update: Oh my god. Something went very wrong with this driver release. Like most of the older games demos don´t work anymore. Motoracer2, Forsaken, Test Drive6, Tomb Raider IV, Ultimate race pro. They did with previous drivers.

And remember folks... It's just a BETA, make note of the things that work, and report the things that don't. The BB's here usually will take constructive criticism and direct it to the appropriate channels, if the people in those channels hadn't already visited and read up on them.

Will report in after trying them out here..

5.10 faster in Q3 by a little here.

[Randy Simons]

So. This seems the first powerdesk that actually doesn't support the G200, since those drivers are missing... Too bad.

[Storm]

YES!!! Every single bug fixed in all 3D apps that I've tried today!!! No more freezing in Maya (Which works Perfectly now) and 3D Studio has been fixed as well!! Plus the ever-so-needed monitor customizations!
Thank you thank you thank you thank yoouu Matrox!!

The drivers were definitely worth the wait, even though it's a beta.
