Faster than any driver I've tried including my beloved 21.81. Not a
dramatic improvement, but a few FPS faster than the 21.81. Also the picture
quality is more vivid and colorful. Thinking about it, any Creative driver
I've tried always had better picture quality then Nvidia's, but now I have
speed to match. Finally Creative, you seem to have pieced it together.

Hope you guys have the same results.

No, that's what makes them so sweet because they are not bogged down as the
Nvidia 21.83 WHQL. I lost 11 FPS in Q3TA with those and they visual quality
could not compare. Did you try the Creative 21.85 yet?

Does anyone know if the new CL drivers will work on a CL Annihilator II Ultra and will the blaster control
still work?

Tnx

No the 21.85s DO NOT work with the blaster control.
 
But you NO LONGER need blaster control, CL have scraped it now.

A more thorough method is:
Uninstall from add/remove. Reboot and choose SVGA Graphics Adapter. Reboot.
Remove all references to nvidia from the registry and any .inf files etc.
Put on the new ones.
