Nvidia drivers


Oddly enough, nvidias newest driver (as of two days ago) has opengl support that just plain doesnt work. I downloaded an older version from the archive, which worked better, but I was wondering if anybody has taken the time to try a bunch of them to see what version actually works the best?

The card is a ti4200... but im assuming that makes little difference with their unified drivers.

Someone else here on the forums was having troubles with the latest nvidia drivers, and switching back to release 4496 fixed it for them. I've had buggy 2D performance with their driver upgrades before, so it's probably best to stick with whatever you already know works, rather than upgrading with each new release - at least until they get the bugs worked out.
