View Full Version : New Detonator Drivers Bad Maya Mojo?

NVidia's latest batch of Detonator drivers claim "up to" 25% in performance increase, in addition to a revamped control panel.

Well, I briefly tried out the Hitman 2 demo and didn't notice any change performance wise, but that's hardly conclusive. I didn't bother to test any game speed increase because I was shocked when I loaded up Maya, playing animation in the viewport slowed to a crawl! I'm working on a animation using stand-in props (just cubes) and a character that's just sphere's parented to bones--and I couldn't even play that real-time when I could before!

I'm using a GF3 ti200 on Win2k with Maya 4. Just putting out a warning that that speed increase might just be hot air. :annoyed:

Thanks! I will make sure not to install it at home for Maya, but just to let others know, it is working fine with LW and MAX with a GeForce 3 and Windows XP-Prof...

Thanks for the heads up Wigaru....
I have the exact same setup as u do...was hoping Maya4 would be faster...but I suppose it's not true.

Well, feel free to give it a try anyways, it might just be my setup that has this problem. Reverting to old drivers fixed it just fine.
