Hi all

I just got a new fx5900 and I am totally lost on what driiver version to use. I heard about the sad news with omegacorner.. not very impressed with the NVIDIA ppl but anywaz I'd better not get started!

So if anyone can help with good driver version and good tweaking program. I have downloaded Riviatuner but dont understand how it works and what setting to use! I am after something like Rage3D which i use to use on my old card.

Thanks

With a fx5900 you shouldn't need a fx5900 for drivers get 44.67 or 44.90.

All of the 44+ versiond are for all models of GEForce cards. I am using 44.90 wich are good on my 5600. Omega's last, 44.03 I think they were, were real good.
As for a tweeker. No question man. Powerstrip is the most up to date and worth while tweeker. I really like riva tuner but powersmart is to good to pass up. You can usually get a weekly build aswell. I find it @ majorgeeks.

Thanks your help

I shall give Powerstrip a go. If I use omega's last drivers do i need to install Powerstrip?

He says not to use a tweeker with them. I would just use his performance drivers and if you feel the need to turn up the clocks then use the nvidia controlls.
I'm picking my card up on tuesday. How are you liking yours. Are you getting your moneys worth yet?

I like your sig, how did you get to be yellow?

I'll just stick with the last drivers Omega did.
