Creative Releases 41.80 Drivers for Win9x/ME/2k/XP!!!

Published by

Just got word from "anonymous" that Creative Europe has released brand new drivers for their line of NVIDIA Graphics Cards. These latest drivers are of version 41.80 dating back to 27th of November 2002 (11/27/2002).

Their full version is 6.14.1.4180 (win2k/xp) - making them the first DX9 compliant drivers (?) as previous drivers' full versions were 6.13.1.4xxx. The DXDiag app in DirectX 9 also says it supports DDI 9 - whereas 41.09 for example only showed them as supporting DDI 8...

UPDATE: Farge spotted in the 41.80 .zip file that a file called "modes.txt" says: Version 42.00, 12/10/2002 - so could this be the next version to come out? Time will tell... NVidia.Nv4 = "3D Blaster RIVA TNT" NVidia.Nv5 = "3D Blaster RIVA TNT2/TNT2 Pro" NVidia.NvVanta = "3D Blaster Vanta/Vanta LT" NVidia.NvUltra = "3D Blaster TNT2 Ultra" NVidia.Nv5M64 = "3D Blaster TNT2 M64/M64 Pro" NVidia.Nv10 = "3D Blaster GeForce 256" NVidia.Nv10DDR = "3D Blaster GeForce Pro" NVidia.Nv11 = "3D Blaster GeForce2 MX" NVidia.Nv11DDR = "Creative GeForce2 MX200/MX400" NVidia.Nv15 = "3D Blaster GeForce2 GTS/Pro" NVidia.Nv15DDR = "3D Blaster GeForce2 Ti" NVidia.Nv15BR = "3D Blaster GeForce2 Ultra" NVidia.Nv17.1 = "3D Blaster 4 MX460" NVidia.Nv17.2 = "3D Blaster 4 MX440" NVidia.Nv17.3 = "3D Blaster 4 MX420" NVidia.Nv17.4 = "3D Blaster4 MX440 SE" NVidia.Nv18.2 = "3D Blaster4 MX440 with AGP8X" NVidia.Nv18.3 = "3D Blaster4 MX440/440SE with AGP8X" NVidia.Nv18.4 = "3D Blaster4 MX420 with AGP8X" NVidia.Nv20 = "Creative GeForce3" NVidia.Nv20.1 = "3D Blaster GeForce3 Ti 200" NVidia.Nv20.2 = "3D Blaster GeForce3 Ti 500" NVidia.Nv25.1 = "3D Blaster 4 Ti4600" NVidia.Nv25.2 = "3D Blaster 4 Ti4400" NVidia.Nv25.4 = "3D Blaster 4 Ti4200" NVidia.Nv28.1 = "3D Blaster4 Ti4800" NVidia.Nv28.2 = "3D Blaster4 Ti4200 with AGP8X" NVidia.Nv28.3 = "3D Blaster4 Ti 4800 SE"
