XTreme-G drivers

http://www.tweaksrus.com/index.php?o...d=483&Itemid=1


They are fairly new on the scene but have very bold claims. On their forums they constantly say theirs are the best and that they easily beat out Omegas nvidia driver set. I was wondering if these drivers are all they are claimed to be. Or, are these guys just way too full of themselves.

Well, the comparison between Omega's nVidia drivers and the XG drivers is well... stupid.
Omega's last set was the 66.93 set which is waaaay old compared to the drivers XG is tweaking nowadays. You just can't compare them.
As for which are better, it's a completely subjective opinion. You really have to try out the drivers and see if they work well for your system.
However, XG is not the only option out there. There are many other tweaked ForceWare drivers such as our very own DHzer0point here @ DH. You may want to try out a variety of tweaked drivers before settling on a certain one.

I haven't seen any "better than omega" on the forums but I guess I don't dig around much.
They aren't fairly new they've been here a long time I believe.
The drivers are pretty good, no zp on 64 bit so I use theirs.
