I'm using the 40.72 detonator presently. Would I see any performance increase in my 3dmark2001se score if I downloaded the beta driver in which you refer to?:confused:

That is impossible for anyone to answer..: peace2:
Try them out and you'll se..

:cheers:

Would I need to uninstall my 40.72 before I install the 42.01? Or, just install the 42.01 "on top" of my 40.72?

It's always best to uninstall and reboot before installing your update.. ;)

I generally didn't uninstall nVidia drivers when I updated. nVidia has been very good about leaving file names and such the same between revisions, so I never had any problems with just installing the newer ones on top of the existing version.

Just a word of advive on the the detonator drivers if you play counter strike. After install of the new drivers I proceeded to play my favorite game (CS!) I found that whenever I was killed by or killed another player with a knife CS crashed with a nvogl.dll error. This even occured when I was in first person spectating a knife kill. Knowing the new drivers were my only upgrade or change, I quickly reverted to the old drivers. Problem Solved.
