Nvidia Graphics Card
* nVidia GeForce graphics card users can now always use the latest driver version from www.nvidia.com. Avatar shoulders and hips will no longer have gaps. I updated to the latest, and i still have the broken arms and stuff I have : winxp pro 256 memory 60gb hd nvidia geforce2 mx Am i doing something wrong? I updated to the 44.03 version of the drivers.  _____________________

The Ti was never one of the chips reported as having the problem to begin with.
It was GeForce 2 series and the GeForce 4MX only. _____________________

Hrm, odd, 44.03 are considered the latest drivers? I'm using 44.67

Ack! There is still ONE situation that will lead to broken shoulders:
If you are running: * Early Athlon CPU that doesn't support SSE instructions (such as the pre-Athlon XP "Thunderbird" core), and * GeForce 2, GeForce 2 MX, or GeForce 4 MX, and * nVidia drivers after 41.09 the shoulders will be broken. Reverting to nVidia 41.09 drivers will fix the problem. Sorry folks. The definitive fix is coming in 1.1. (For the graphics geeks - we have to blend the vertices together at the shoulders and hips. This is an intensive computation. We currently have several ways of doing it: using an nVidia driver extension for which they removed support after 41.09, doing it in a vertex program which the 2, 2 MX and 4 MX don't support, or doing it in software, which is slow on non-SSE machines. In 1.1 we have smarter level-of-detail mechanisms that allow us to do it in software, even without SSE.) Also, for the curious, I believe 44.03 is the latest official nVidia drivers. There may be later ones in beta, or leaked. James |

James Wacky, guess Alienware has something going on with nVidia. Driver downloads from them only contain the following for the GeForce cards: Nvidia Corporation Detonator FX 44.67 Drivers For Models: NVIDIA GEFORCE FX SERIES The latest Nvidia Detonator FX drivers. These drivers are WHQL certified. File Size: 19 MB File Date: 7/10/2003 Platform(s): Windows XP, Windows 2000 Download Driver One would think they would post any/all WHQL certified driver sets, but I guess not. Their website certainly does only list 44.03 |
