Drivers: Decision... Decision... Decision...

[MotherDawg]

Hi all, Long time no see


I'm presently running PKY's G400 (Max) driver pack v1.5 and i never had a system that stable. It's also fairly fast... a few more fps in D3D... I'm happy.

Now, I've look in the posts for infos on the Beta 6 drivers... but nothing conclusive.

So, is there anyone out there that dropped their PKYs for the new betas?

Let see... my best guess is that PKYs are still the best drivers for a G400. Big Matrox is getting its ass swooped by a third party!

You say that as if PKY wrote those drivers.

All he did was takes bits of different Matrox driver versions and mush them together. So I guess Matrox is "swooping" their own ass...

Well... like it happens, sometime I do open my mouth, insert in my foot and echo internationally.

Sorry for that one.

But still, I would like to know if some of you did drop the PKY's pack?

I've changed pky's drivers with beta 6. Till now I had no problems and benchmarks are running faster.
