The Drivers

As many NVIDIA owners may have noticed, the GeForce2 Pro is supported in the latest Detonator3 driver release from NVIDIA.

Build numbers have increased but functionality and speed have remained the same for the most part. A full review of the GeForce2 Pro's driver set, the Detonator3 drivers from NVIDIA, can be found in our Detonator3 review.
