best site for nvidia info?

Hi RASers, I have been a 3Dfx fan since my first Diamond Monster II card a few years ago. It bummed me out to see them get absorbed by Nvidia, mostly because it made the purchase of my next card more confusing than it was going to have to be. I decided to get a good nVidia based card instead, so I have a Hercules 3D Prophet II GTS Ultra coming on Monday. I'm sure it will look good no matter what I do to it, better than my V3/3000, anyway. What I would like to know from the Nvidia fans in here is the location of the best sites for info on tuning and tweaking the card, which drivers to use or avoid at the moment, etc. Thanks for the help, ~daxe

Daxe: Two places I visit are: http://www.nvnews.net/ & http://www.reactorcritical.com/. nVnews is good for news and reactor has a very active message board. Good luck. Adam On Sat, 03 Feb 2001 14:49:22 GMT, daxe <[email hidden]> wrote:

I've had my Ultra for 3 weeks or so now and everything has been running great. I use the 6.47 detonators, the most stable beta release according to most folks. I've upgraded to DirectX 8 with no problems. I've not bothered tweaking/tuning anything else, 1280x1024 32bit gives suberb results with everything :-) In article <[email hidden]>, daxe <[email hidden]> wrote:
