Best Modified Nvidia Driver Software?

Tech Geek Deluxe · November 12th, 2007

I have a new Nvidia 8600GT coming tomorrow and I am curious who and if there are "Tweaked" drivers and who makes the best ones for Nvidia.

Omega no longer is updating theirs and tends to lean more towards ATI anyways.

What choices do I have for Nvidia ... or does the stock ones perform better than tweaked ones?

I've heard of DNA ... and used their drivers on an ATI 2600Pro ...

Any comments on "Best choices" for drivers and Tweaking tools for Nvidia cards. [I haven't used Nvidia for years]

I've always used the stock ones, Nvidia has had some good drivers, better then ATi up to the release of G80 and Vista, but most if not all of those kinks have been worked out. The modified ones are usually for enabling SLI on nForce chipsets that have it locked.

When i have a need to use modified drivers, the NGO ones Polo listed above are the ones I use. Right now, Nvidia's have been working very well for me, so I've been using them.
