Hi all,
I'm doing this project where I am upgrading my Retro PC - everything went wrong, everything failed plus the usual Windows quirkiness. But I am finally at a stage where things seem to work.
Over the project I purchased an Geforce 2 MX400 and a Geforce FX5200 (I thought the MX400 was faulty).
I'm currently using the FX5200 (Shuttle 591P, MVP3, 128MB, K6-2 500MHZ, W98SE) but I am told that the MX400 might be faster than the FX5200 under W98SE.
Happy to try but I see that the driver version plays a big role on those old systems. On my XP built, the latest Forceware was producing awful results under UT99 - something like 0.25FPS!
I understand that "the latest" is not necessarily the best when it comes to video cards back then. Is there a general consensus of what would be the best nVidia driver for
MX4000 under W98SE and XP
FX5200 under W98SE and XP
Thank you!
