First Official Nvidia Omega Drivers release!!!

Omegadrive · Jul 7, 2002, 07:50 AM

That's right, the dream has come true for nvidia users, now you can enjoy the quality of the Omega Drivers in your nvidia cards too.
After 3 beta releases (1 private, 2 public), I'm proud to announce that the final version is ready for prime time.
Learn more about them and download here, discuss them here for Windows 9x/ME and here for Windows 2k/XP.

Enjoy!

Update:
Uploaded the "b" version of the XP drivers, the "a" version had a problem with OpenGL and GTA3 games not running, now is solved in the "b" version. If you downloaded the first version, please download the new one and make sure it says "1.0.42b".

Installed drivers ok but when i go to play quake 3 it crashes with this error Q_strncpyz: NULL src

and when i run Neverwinter nights i get a black display

not tried any other games but those 2 dont work.

I tried the method of install described in the readme and I've also tried a clean install results the same both times

any ideas ?

Thats on the below rig.

Maybe they are, I've never heard of them.

Omegadrive makes drivers for everybody, he's too cool to be exclusive!

I have tried them and direct 3d looks way better than the beta builds. yes their is a definite speed hit but nothing that isn't made up for in image quality

The extra setttings and IQ are awesome. My text is clearer, my games look better and so far, all of them play without issue. Have tried Ghost Recon, Desert Siege, Sum Of All Fears, Medal of Honor, Soldier of Fortune I and II, Rogue Spear, Army Operations and Nascar 2000 and OpenGL and D3D both work great and look even better. Great Job!!
