YAAAAAAHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

hope to see some via-fixes...

[Drizzt]

I must be crazy.
I am downloading them, and I have to finish a software for tomorrow. I hope that i will not be so crazy to install them, too.

Hopeless..

I like the smell of the new drivers early in the morning.

[hominid skull]

Are they any good, I'm always a little hesitant about installing beta drivers. It means that there are some known issues still with the drivers, does anyone know what they are?..

[Surfwienix]

!!!!! the via-problem is gone !!!!!


yyyyyyyyooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooouu uuuuuu

hmmmmmmm!..something stinks here...did you see the size of it ...only 2.8 megs...all 5.xx was about 4.2 megs are we missing something ?...downloading right now ..lets see what nice have MATROX made this time ...all features like PD 5.XX , OGL ICD , TGL & all this in 2.8 mb ?????????

Does this release work with the G200 cards? Could somebody try it out and lemme know. It might not though (my guess only) since the file size is so small, probably doesn't include the g200icd and other g200 related files.

The only thing I see here is that the Matrox Tweak Utility tells me that it's offline because The current display driver doesn't support this program with your graphics card.

Ah well, for the moment no OC'ing my G400

I got about a 10% reduction in 3DMark 99 Max
on my K6-3 400, Epox MVP3G-M with a G400 Max. Damn! I was hoping for an increase, I might as well face up to the facts that the G400 will never work too well with the K6. If I didn't like my RR-G so much I'd be really pissed off, considering that a standard TNT blows doors on the G400 in this system. What I'm wondering is why the G400 is so incredibly CPU dependent. As far as I can tell it's by far the most CPU dependent card on the market.

These are good drivers. We've been beta testing PD6.xx for a while now, and we have all been happy with the 6.10 build.

Just make sure to FULLY uninstall the old PD 5.xx. the new PD6 will not mix well if you try to install over PD5.

And the reason they are so small is because of the lack of G200 support in this release...
