Nvidia FX5200 Driver problemFollow

#1 Sep 03 2004 at 2:49 PM Rating: Good
I updated my driver for my eVGA Nvidia FX5200 from 4.x? to 6.2. (Thinking it would help another program of mine.) After updating, when playing FFXI there are several graphic bugs.

1. My Summons are missing pixels. I can see through all of their mid-section.
2. Distant mobs, when standing still, are perfectly visible. (As they were before the update) When the mob moves, it blinks; like a strobe light.
3. Switching from 1st - 3rd person, and vise-versa, "fizzles" into view. No longer "ghosts" into view as it used to.
4. Wether I'm looking at the zone gate or casting buffs, I get a pattern of missing pixels. Like this:
  /|_ 
   |/

5. Random lag that wasn't there before.

I know the easiest fix is to uninstall the 6.2 drivers and reinstall the old ones. But I honestly don't remember which driver version I was using (4.x?). And for my CAD program, I would like to keep, if possible, the "latest" driver.

I'm running WIN2k Pro on:
AMD XP 2500
Soyo KT400 MB
Kingston 512mb DDR333
eVGA Nvidia 256mb FX5200

Thank you for taking the time to read.
Regards,
Cadell

I have the same problem on the same card. It happens on a few other GeForces, I think. It has happened to me since I updated to the new driver. I rolled back yesterday and after this is posted I will test. Results will come soon!

I rolled back to nVidia's version 56.74 driver. This works without flaw.
