Didn't notice anything at opengl though it boosted my direct3d applications a bit.

[Hi SoundZ]

You have the v550 so just get Diamonds latest drivers since they are built around the Detonator platform.

I have the STB v4400 w/ NVIDIA Detonator drivers and have been pleased so far....installation went flawlessly also. I have heard a lot of others complaining about how hard it is to install the Detonator drivers, so just follow the directions

You will notice better direct 3d performance, and slightly less utilizing openGL. I am sure the openGL issue will be fixed soon enuff

I tested the system with 3DMark99 at 800 x 600
Creative drivers (as at 02/02/99)
1995 3DMARKS
Using Detonator drivers
2470 3DMARKS
