NVIDIA or Omega Drivers

Warpy · Apr 3, 2005, 11:19 AM

I am new to nVIDIA and wanted to know which is best for gaming and image quality, nVIDIA 71.84 or Omega Drivers 1.6177 (Forceware 61.77)

I would go with the 71.84s without question, however i recommend the DHzeropoint 71.84s from www.dhzeropoint.net.

Downloading DHzeropoint 71.84 now. Thanks..

did you even look at the omega numbers? they are based on the 61.77s which are hella old.

Good pointing out Zardon. Go with the zeropoints.

Nymins · Apr 3, 2005, 02:32 PM

would the zeropoints be good for my Geforce 4 ti 4200 64mb?

Shaga · Apr 3, 2005, 02:55 PM

We have some testers with geforce4 and results seems good iirc.

I recommend to give it a run

The game tweaks that come with the drivers, so they increase FPS or graphic quality?

Shaga · Apr 3, 2005, 04:05 PM

Both, but mostly designed as quality in mind without losing too much fps(usually configs have increased fps).

Shaga · Apr 3, 2005, 04:38 PM

Good luck

Nymins · Apr 3, 2005, 05:32 PM

i just tried out the drivers. they are really good. i get much better fps in Thief 3 and in the Juiced demo. i also got 5 extra marks in 3dMark03. good job.
