Found this on 3drage which came from Driver Heaven :

"Alot has been going on behind the scenes recently guys with Nvidia
regarding Omegas drivers and it looks like Omega might be forced to
stop making them. This is due to Nvidia hard handed tactics and not
wanting anyone to alter or touch their driver code in any way. Omega
has even had to remove Nvidia logos from his site or legal action
will
be taken. This could possibly if taken further close these sites, so
we really have no option."


Gee... I wonder why Nvidia doesnt want someone hacking around in the
driver sets?.. .. could it be that someone might find some
"optimizing"? Pathetic.

Sounds like Nvidia is getting a little edgy. Think this "3Dmark"
driver cough enhancing episode had anything to do with it? Ever
since I went
over to the dark side last chip cycle (9700pro) I could care
less *what*
Nvidia does really.

Amen to switching over to ATI. I switched too, and have been very
pleased w/ my 9700 pro! In my opinion, I don't care about benchmarks.
I mean it's a good tool to some degree, but it all comes down to how
the card performs w/ the games.

I can't wait to get that card. Price is still a little to high, right
now,
for me. Buddy has the 9500 and, after running the GF4 Ti's for awhile,
he's
totally ditched nVidia. I'm not far behind that path. Of course, I'm
sure
that in another year or so nVidia will be top dog again...and the cycle
will
continue. What I'm reading/hearing about the FX line does not really
impress me, at all.

This reminds me of all the hype about Geforce FX before it was launched.
Like it was supposed to replace an entire ILM render farm. Riiiiiiiiight.
