Whoa. Thanks, I thought 3dchips.com was the only place to get em. Been using these drivers for a couple of weeks, very nice and stable.

Nvidia has just posted the 'official' 1241 drivers on their own site. They perform flawlessly on the systems I've tried so far.

IMO Hercules is one of the few companies that do good things with the Nvidia drivers, for a long time the Herc 7.52's kicked butt,and now I believe that it's better to use herc drivers that the Nvidia 12.41. plus I got fed up with trying to keep up with all the drivers leaks, just my humble thought's.

Got NVidia 12.40 very nice increase in performace... downloaded 12.60 didn't install yet... is Herc 12.40 better..?

I have always found Herc drivers to perform better when compared to Nvidia drivers, I don't know what they do to them but they have always kicked butt in my machine.

I have had Hercules driverset (12.40) installed with DX8.1 (620), and got an increase with 3DMark2001.

12.40 800x600 32bit 2603
1024x768 32bit 2201

7.52 800x600 32bit 2469
1024x768 32bit 2058

System:- P3800, 256mb, Herc GF2 MX, Win98se

These seem to be a good driver.
