They suck. Period. Just to give you an idea of what life with 40.71's are like, here is a sample of what I went through during the day I used them.
- UT2003 didnt want to make friends with my new 40.71's, so it froze every time I wanted to run it, resulting in the need to pull the plug on my comp and reboot.
- UT, being a slightly nicer program, initially made friends with the new drivers and ran the intro movie. But as soon as UT got into the main menu, its feelings changed and decided to make my refresh rates go berserk. Ever try playing a game at 1280x960 at 60Hz? Dont.
- I thought to myself, 'Hey! Maybe if I reboot, things will be different?' Well, my 40.71's obviously had a bad attitude, and no single part of my system liked them for it. As soon as I booted up, Windows itself was fed up with the drivers and threw a temper-tantrum. It decided to remain in a BSOD untill the drivers were removed.
Just wait till they are out of beta...Im sure they will be fixed by then. I use 30.30...they are godly.
