Well the subject says it all. What are the fastest drivers for UT: strike force for a g400? I am running it on a abit be6 with a pIII 850... Which powerdesk version should i use for optimal results? Should i run it in OpenGL or D3D?

PD 5.13 running D3D should be fastest for Win98 ...

I have the same setup as you (mobo, processor, g400). I'm using the 6.2x driver series and UT (not strike force) runs fine for me under Win 98se and in D3D.
The only glitch I get is a curser image freezing in the middle of the screen after I toggle between full screen and window mode. It's just a nuisance issue that I think is fixed in the latest drivers, but I've been too lazy to install them.
I've never been one to do much benchmarking, but my system seems to be more stable (and possibly faster) with the 6.xx series drivers than the 5.xx drivers. Not just for UT, but for everything.My rig: P4 3.0GHz; Asus P4C800E; 1GB DDR 3200; AIW Radeon 9800 Pro; WD 120GB SATA; Plextor DVD burner; Liteon DVD reader; Audigy 2ZS; Logitech Z560 4.1; NEC FE991SB

Hi Beezer
Though I have a G200, that cursor problem is experienced by me also in UT, and it has been there for quite some time,even with different driver revisions. So I guess the problem hasn't been fixed (even for the G400)!
Cheers

When i was running WinME, i experimented with lots of drivers and UT. For me, the 6.51 drivers were fastest. I tried 5.52, 6.10, 6.23 ...
P3 500
Abit BE6II
256Mb RAM
Vanilla G400 16Mb SH
etc ..
BTW, between OpenGL and D3D ... Joel gets ~38FPS avg on his 1.3GHz Athlon and G400 MAX in OpenGL ... so D3D.Seth, are you ok? I`m peachy Kate. The world is my oyster. - Seth Gecko

You can get rid of the cursor by turning off direct input
As far as I know this doesnt really effect anything (especially with an optical mouse
)
