I have a GeForce 4 Ti4200 and I've heard that instead of using the latest Forceware/Detonator drivers, I would be better off using some of the older ones since the newer ones are more optimized for the newer FX cards. Has anyone played around with different drivers and gotten better performance with Chankast? I'm also wondering about how good those unofficial StarStorm drivers are, but I'm a little hesitant to use anything that isn't official.
Forceware/Detonator drivers for Chankast

I'm using DetXP's, since the FarceWares suck on older cards.
It's true. nVidia's ForceWares are "Force" for a reason: Force you to upgrade to a new card, thereby netting them more money.
A computer I have, running Win2000, had older DetXPs. It could run "Gunbound" without a problem. 700MHz Duron machine, I may add.
I rolled it up to FarceWares, and couldn't even play ZSNES without it freezing and stuttering.
A rollback to the old 45.23's, and everything was pretty much fine again.
Try the rollback, and see what happens.

But this thread is a good change to check the GFX cards with it's driver versions. My experiences:
GFX card geforce 3 : forceware 61.11
sonic Adv. 2 = just agrey or blue screen ingame
MSR = DOn't come into game
THPS2 = see it and can play!
(more to come, I will edit my post later)
Can someone give me a advice what for drivers I should use or give some experiences, too? Would be great! THX

Crappy?? Have u tried running a decent DX9 game with a ti4600?? Sure it may be quick but look how many effects, multi textures, and shaders aren't being drawn. LOL
That's like comparing a HUMVEE with a Porsche on the highway. Sure the Porsche will be faster but in combat I'd rather be in the hummer thanks
btw my specs for the record...
P4 800mhz FSB 2.6ghz OC'd too 3.13ghz (964mhz FSB - WOOT - suck it G5!)
