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 |

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) |

Pluvious Or they do not want their valuable IP rights diluted by allowing unauthorized modifcations by what could be the appearance of semi-sanctioning. |

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. |

Ever since I went over to the dark side last chip cycle (9700pro) I could care less *what* Nvidia does really. They're in a complete spin atm. Timeline goes like this: 1. GF4 rules the roost, working on NV30, all is rosy. 2. 9700 appears way earlier than expected, kicks **** out of GF4 3. NV30 majorly delayed due to fabrication problems 4. NV30 final silicon at target speeds found to be slower than 9700 5. Forced to launch "overclocked" version of NV30 as 5800Ultra to beat 9700 6. 5800Ultra met with howls of laughter and derision by press 7. 9800 arrives to rub salt in 8. Resort to using driver cheats to make lacklustre cards look better 9. Driver cheats exposed, vilified by the press and public over debacle 9. NV35 arrives, what NV30 should have been, but way too expensive Basically they can't do anything right atm. The NV30 was a complete joke. The NV35 may be a good card, but it's horrendously expensive compared to the competition, and I imagine has ****ed off a good few 5800 Ultra owners. They've been caught blatantly cheating with their drivers in a pathetic attempt to make their kit look better and now they're just panicking. -- Toby |
