I got new beta drivers from nvidia PhysX download pack with some new UT3 maps with destructible environments.

My specs is a 8600gt, intel core duo 2 e4500, and 2 gb RAM. Now after I installed this driver, my fps in halo 2 dropped from 60 to 50. Not bad, but for some reason, it is as smooth as 20 fps and has ultra mouse lag. Could the new video driver cause all this? Halo 2 is the ONLY game that had problem after this driver. Should I try reverting? Or is something else causing this.

Also, I'm NOT playing halo 2 with a disk, LEGALLY (NO cracks). For some reason, halo 2 has NEVER required a disk for me.

Also the AR is actually good in CQB now and no longer a glorified baseball bat.

Halo 2 doesn't require a disc for anyone on Vista. :/

It doesn't? Didn't know that.

Back on topic:
So could the new physX drivers that don't disturb anything BUT HALO 2 be causing my lag?
50 fps feels like 15, it's VERY choppy.

Any ideas? I really don't want to give up my PhsyX drivers, no other games gives me problems after I installed those, could it really be them?

Just reverted to the older driver, going to be pissed if h2 still lags.
Edit: It works! But I have no more destructible environments and enhanced physics and rag doll in UT3 D:
