Site Updates:

1/14/99 3D Mark 99 scores are in for Diamond's OFFICIAL .0245 driver. Early tests conclude that they do NOT increase performance. Compatibility was once again stressed in this release...

1/9/99 I've Updated the first section of my web page to include information and benchmarks from Diamond's Unofficial Driver .0252.

1/9/99 Some people have posted success at using other manufacturer's drivers (one such case involved the Hercules Dynamite Driver. It worked Beautifully according to him).

1/8/99 I've created a new section all about the nVidia Reference Driver's Advanced Settings to see if they have any impact on performance. Check it out above!
