Question Title: Why does graphic driver upgrade cause poor game performance?
Category: Graphics
Question: We have two computers, one is celeron 400 w/RIVA TNT2, and the other is an AMD K6-3 400 w/a RIVA TNT. Both systems exhibit the same problem. Currently we use version 3.53 of the video drivers because it's the only version of drivers that will work properly in the game. Any newer drivers cause graphic glitches and EXTREME latency problems. The only game that we see this problem is with AC...all other games we play work fine w/the newer drivers.

Answer: You should contact Nvidia about your driver problems. They may have introduced bugs into thier latest drivers, and may not be testing them with AC before they are released. Unfortunately, there is little we can do to control what happens at the driver level, as it is all abstracted from us.
