Published by

Detonator 40 is the beta graphics driver for all NVIDIA Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). At this time its only available for Windows 2000/XP. DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL 1.4 support included.

If you need a Refresh Rate Fix for these, I was told RefreshForce does the trick. Grab it here.

Up to a 25% increase in performance nView? 2.0 multi-display technology increases productivity and provides the necessary tools to control the way users access and view applications. NVRotate? enabling image rotation on today?s advanced flat panel displays. NVKeystone? allows for real-time image correction on portable projectors and heads-up displays. Digital Vibrance Control? allows users to adjust color controls to achieve accurate, bright colors under all conditions. New control panel streamlines user interface and enables faster and easier access to all video settings Robust Channels enables higher faster performance and better stability for all applications through fail-safe paths in the drivers CineFX Simulator allows developers to use Cg??C for graphics??to write complex shaders in a high level language faster and more easily than before. NVIDIA?s patented Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) ? supports all products in single a driver binary Download it from www.nvidia.com

Update: I've been testing the driver for a while now and just want to let you know that on a Geforce4 TI4600 the performance is indeed up in D3D and OpenGL Applications. The biggest difference can be seen in nature test demo in particular - with the highest frame rate (not average) jumping by 40fps on my system.

Below is a 3dmark comparison between 30.82 and 40.41 drivers.
