Questions about Omega Driver...

HaveFallen · May 16, 2008, 03:32 PM

Ok, so I'm asking if the latest Nvidia Omega Driver (Currentlyv2.169.21) is stable and ok to use, because in a lot of the threads i'm seeing here, alot of people seem to have problems with a crash like thing happening on start-up. Is this normal, was it ever fixed? Is the latest driver ok to use?

My system specs are:

Intel Pentium 4 2.0 Ghz overclocked to 2.4 Ghz
1 gigabyte of RAM
Nvidia Geforce 6200 256MB
Windows XP 32 bit with Service Pack 2

Which one should I use though, the Omega Drivers (If it's OK to use) or the latest Nvidia Driver (175.16)? Which one is more stable and fixed?

I apologize if i'm asking alot, i'm really new to all this stuff. Thanks in advance.

Appears to me Omega isn't doing any driver mods anymore. He released a quick one back in January but that's it. And that was his first Nvidia release in over a year.

So I'd suggest going with the 175.16 official for now, until Omega decides he wants to get back into driver mods.

You could also try XG Drivers from tweakforce if you want.
