Extremely urgent request for testing (new Nvidia binary drivers)

[alastair]

I don't have Nvidia at home, but we use FX4000/4000sdi/4400 at work for
heavy duty graphics playback (film work). I tested the latest driver
version I had today and found :

7162 (previous) -> OK
7167 -> playback performance bad (< 50% of 7162)

I downloaded the latest available from their "partners" web site :

7174 -> OK (again)

The changelog for 7174 says (amongst other things) :

Fixed performance problem when using AGPGART.

So .... YMMV.

I admit that our workload is not usual though - 2048x1556 RGBA 10 bit
DPX frames @ 24 fps.
