I'm sorry Brian, but that's got me stumped. I've had no problems, regardless
of what driver versions there are/were. And I have been running all types of
Nvidia cards from the GF3Ti200/500, GF4Ti4600/4800 and now the GF FX5900
Ultra. And like you, I have noticed fps increases when I've gone to the newer
drivers (And I understand that the 46.20 are only beta's, which I'm currently
running on all my systems). I guess the next step maybe to checkout the Nvidia
forum and see what someone there has to say.
