MaxReboot have just found some new NVIDIA Detonator Drivers for Win9x/ME and Win2K/XP.
These latest drivers are dated 12th of October and their version is 22.50.
Download Nvidia Detonators 22.50 for Win9x/ME and Win2K/XP. Update: MSI Original Links:
22.50 Win2K/XP
22.50 Win9x/ME
22.50 WinNT4
Update 2: Local download now available Update 3: New Nvidia Hardware? Speculate with us by Reading More! ReactorCritical have some decent speculations about new Nvidia Hardware based on this driver release! When we took a look inside the .inf file, we noticed a mention of very interesting GPUs: NVidia.Nv17.1 = "NVIDIA NV17"
NVidia.Nv17.2 = "NVIDIA NV17"
NVidia.Nv17.3 = "NVIDIA NV17"
NVidia.Nv17.4 = "NVIDIA NV17"
NVidia.Nv17GL.1 = "NVIDIA NV17GL"
NVidia.Nv17GL.2 = "NVIDIA NV17GL"
NVidia.Nv25.1 = "NVIDIA NV25"
NVidia.Nv25GL.1 = "NVIDIA NV25GL"
Six solutions based on NV17 graphics core, two of which are intended to be professional and four supposed to hit the mainstream market segment. Two solutions based on NV25: one for the hi-end gamers and one for graphics professionals. Talking about NV17 and taking into account the number of identifying strings fro it, we can assume that NV17 is the successor of the GeForce2 MX core. Different solutions intended for different needs and market segments. We so not know yet what is the difference between NV17.1 and NV17.4. Basically, two variants are possible: different core and memory frequencies, different memory-bus (128/64/32-bit wide). We should point out that we distinguish between the GeForce3 Titanium 200 and 500 only by the number after the code-name of the core: Nv20.1 for GF3 Ti200 and NV20.2 for GF3 Ti500. Since the only difference between these two GPUs is their clocking we may expect the same from NV17 processors. As this is only our assumptions, take them as they are.
