Omega's old nVidia drivers

fobis · Feb 6, 2007, 11:16 PM

I'd like to suggest possibly making a sticky saying that Omega's last nVidia set 69.33, does not support anything higher than 6 series cards.
It doesn't happen all too often, but some people do actually try to install Omega's nVidia set on their brand new 8800GTS since they have the perception that Omega's nV drivers are the best since his ATI drivers are world renowned.
I must admit I'm partly suggesting this because it's annoying (but hey, not everyone necessarily knows all about this kind of stuff), but also because it's annoying for the user to have to uninstall everything, etc, and start from scratch, and (a bit of a stretch) it could possibly somehow harm their OS installation (you know, no use of DC, no uninstallation, etc).
Obviously, it's up to the admins here to decide on whether this should be done or not, but that's just my two cents.
Another method, I suppose, would be to add a nice little notice on DriverHeavenDownload's page near the Omega nV drivers and possibly on Omega's own site.

what omega does with his drivers really is not under my or any other admins control on this site. You should drop omega an email or a PM rather than posting this in feedback as there is really very little we/I/DH can do about this. im also moving this from site feedback into nvidia drivers forum.

ill close the thread, but drop omega an email if you feel strongly about this to omegadrive@hotmail.com
