Omega drivers for Nvidia are AXED!?!
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. Pluvious |

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. -- [This message has been transmitted on 100% recycled electrons.] |

This guy that makes the Omega drivers is definetly not a lamer. I have run most of his driver sets for a while (nvidia and ATI both) with no problems at all. Nvidia are just too uptight. |

You can tell that in their attitude toward Linux. They need to make up their minds whether they are in the software or the hardware business. -- -- --John Reply to jclarke at ae tee tee global dot net (was jclarke at eye bee em dot net) |
