Omega Drivers VS nVidia 30.30 Drivers

Andrew275 · Jul 13, 2002, 03:20 PM

Computer Chaos has a comparison of Omegadrive's drivers to the 30.30 detonators. Thanks WyreTheWolf! Read the comparison here.<blockquote>Well it looks like Omega's Drivers hold a slight speed advantage over the nVidia 30.30 drivers. Now you can compare images from both driver sets taken in Q3 Arena. After viewing the images I will leave a decision up to you. Personally I find both sets produce great image quality and almost identical speed.</blockquote>

I have been really impressed with the Omega drivers. I can see a significant image quality improvement, and swore that I didn't notice any performance decrease, but I am amazed to see that the Omega drivers are actually outperforming the 30.30 dets in your benchmark tests. Absolutely amazing. Thanks for posting that!

Makes all my games look SO much better and I too swear I don't notice any performance decrease. I run most games will all details maxed and most of them still run more than 100FPS, so thats probably why I don't notice the difference.

nice site you have there and I liked the review, it made very interesting reading for me, as I have a Ti4600 winging its way to me over the next couple of days, and ive been wondering which drivers to install to get the most from the card.

Well thats what they did, and locked it up solid like need to reboot solid, and thats strange where I'm in XP and all anyway. I'm still using his despite that I love them!
