I'm happy at the moment with the way GPL runs with the nvidia 6.50
drivers on my geforce GTS2 32Mb card.
BUT, I having big probs with Half Life. It's been suggested I upgrade to
the 12.41 drivers but I'm worried it will (adversly) affect GPL.
Any views?

I found GPL a little slower with 12.41, so I'm back with 6.50. I guess
you'll have to try it to see for sure.
Also, the 12.41 drivers weren't booting up with the monitor in the optimal
refresh rate, so they're no good for me.

Then maybe it was your monitor profile file? I never had that problem
with 12.41.
If it was the monitor drivers, I'm guessing I would get the same problem
with 6.50 as well. The video card knows what refresh rate my monitor
*should* be in, because when I switch to a lower res (say 1024*768) and then
back to 1600*1200 the refresh rate is correct. Just for some reason it's
always wrong on boot-up, no matter what res I'm using.
Basically it's like the nVidia drivers are over-riding the settings and
booting in 60 Hz. I get the same thing with 12.20, 12.40, 12.41, 12.60 and
12.90. Also the 10.xx drivers I tried also did this. 7.xx drivers were ok,
but were slower with GPL than the 6.50 drivers. In GPL alone, the 6.50 are
the quickest drivers i've found.
I really wish I could get this fixed if anyone has any suggestions?

You could try a utility like hztool.exe, which allows you to customise
refresh rates for every resolution.

Hope this helps

Just curious - not using a Belinea monitor are you Simon? I too have had to
use hztool to stop Windows loading with crazy refresh rates - in my case my
Creative GF2 GTS was trying to drive my Belinea 102030 at a higher frequency
than it can display, with the result that the monitor shut itself off
leaving me no option but to reboot in safe mode.
I get this problem with the 6.72, 10.80, 12.40 and 12.41 drivers. I'm using
the 10.80 at the moment as they're all pretty much the same and those were
the last ones I tested. Incidentally the 6.72 drivers are the only version
of those four detonators that would work with the MBTR demo, the other three
all dropped huge amounts of polys (e.g. didn't draw wheels on any of the
trucks, or sometimes it would *just* draw the windscreens, etc).
Cheers
Jim
