I want throughput, so I think I will stay with 56.72 and forfeit the other minor improvements.

The drivers with the highest scores offer definite improvements in various tests (up to 30%), but just KILL the Fill Rate Multi test. (I also reinstalled 56.72 and confirmed the original score, to prove that my uninstalls / reinstalls were clean.) after a few more hours testing, here's what I've found. Of course, if anyone has done this already, please post here and save me literally days of work !!! (And thanks in advance -)Īll right. I am considering downloading the various major WHQL drivers (according to the NVIDIA website) and trying them successively until I find the best compromise. I haven't tested temperatures or anything, to see if there's a difference.

I gather the Fill Rate and Graphics Memory tests are some sort of throughput measure. Here there is clearly no incentive to use the latest driver, which was only slightly better in one test but significantly worse in the Graphics Memory (64 lines) test: from 425.696 down to 152.631 !!! Using ForceWare 81.98 I ran PCMark04 and scored 2303. Using ForceWare 56.72 I ran PCMark04 and scored 2488. most significantly, it pulled down the Fill Rate (Multi) test from 804.1 MTexels/s to 327.6 MTexels/s !!! Sure, 81.98 was up to 20% faster in a half-dozen tests, but it also pulled down the results of a few tests by up to 30%. However, the above numbers don't tell the whole story. Using ForceWare 81.98 I ran 3DMark2001SE and scored 4911. Using ForceWare 56.72 I ran 3DMark2001SE and scored 4672. (BTW, SP2 sucked about 5% off my scores, but you sort of can't run without it, so.) My FX 5500 is slightly overclocked to 280/380.įor all tests I yanked my network cable and unloaded Zone Alarm and Symantec AntiVirus.

I very recently reinstalled Windows XP with SP2 and all the latest patches. Lspci | grep VGA shows: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03)Ġ1:0b.I have the same card (no-name brand) installed in a Dell Dimension 2400 (Celeron 2.4 GHz) - PCI slot only. Resources: irq:16 memory:e0000000-e7ffffff memory:ef000000-ef07ffff memory:c0000-dffffĬonfiguration: latency=32 maxlatency=1 mingnt=5 Product: 82845G/GL/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device Then Im force to set again the onboard graphics, and everything is normal. When I make the change, the card gives the HP boot screen normal, but after that it just becomes a black screen. In order to use a PCI video card, I set in BIOS the change between onboard and pci graphics.

I know that are a free driver called nouveau, and I want to use it. In order to do so, I bought recently a Nvidia FX 5500 PCI (I have no AGP ports), which I never be able to make it work. I have a pretty old system (HP t617m with pentium 4 2.6 ghz) that Im trying to revive using Xubuntu 18.04 32-bit.
