Looks good so far, I'm getting an extra 10 FPS in both UT and SoF, anyone else give it a try yet?

I got it for my windows 2000 system. So far so good, but I bet it will be better once Nvidia (sp?) releases official DX8 compatible drivers.

Tried the unofficial release back in July or August... seemed ok...

I'm now downloading the official version.. everyone post any good or bad reviews on it!

So far so good-- my games run ok with it, seems to be a little faster in UT, nothing dramatic though

Yeah... same here.. UT runs better but not substantially better...

Except, on my older K6-3 machine I get MUCH better UT play with my GeForce 256 card. The Celeron 982 machine with GeForce 2 doesn't really show a difference.

Going to try some Couter Strike... will report findings.

I installed it on my 2 systems. FPS in UT increased about 10-15FPS

I am gonna try it out in some other games soon.

I also installed DirectX 8.
Installation was without problems, and all games run very well. I can't really say anything about an increase, but it seems that I have an average of 5 FPS more
I hope NVidia will release DirectX 8 optimized drivers, to "unleash the power of the gpu" again as they said.

Got it for my dual cpu win2k system and so far no problems. I haven't really seen too much of an increase in fps on Quake3 but then again I'm using an older TNT2 Ultra with the Nvidia Detonator 3.76 drivers.
