Omega's back.... again

Well he died, came back, died again, came back again, died again.... See the cycle? :P

The difference is not only is he back, he's doing nVidia drivers again. Plus the site has a new layout. So if you like tweaked drivers, go and get them!

What do the tweaked drivers do better than the original drivers?

Panda Man · January 2nd, 2008

Original drivers are usually catered to synthetic benchmarks. Tweaked drivers are typically tweaked for real world performance and sometimes offer custom resolutions and other stuff you wouldn't normally get with stock drivers.

The way I see it, they work better, they're free, so why not?

Omega tends to have excellent drivers that take out legacy crap and unneded lines of code and also add some nice extras... heres a readme list of things for the ATI+XP based cards

Ooo, sounds very appetizing! I'll be sure to try these out when I get my desktop computer up and running.

When official Beta's start buggin out, Turn to omega!
Also very user friendly even for OCing, unlike the official drivers

Would U suggest using these instead of ATI's stuff on my x1950?

I'd be more than willing if it would ditch the crap that is Catalyst Control Center

Wow, that site got a major overhaul! Looks good, but I don't see any Vista 64-bit drivers, only 32-bit. Am I missing something?

screwballl · January 3rd, 2008

no there is a mention that he is working on Vista drivers... the only ones available are 32-bit nvidia

AAHHH, you're right. I didn't even bother trying to actually get Vista drivers, I just noticed the button...
