Geforce 5200 Drivers
« on: July 07, 2004, 09:23:24 PM »
My new pC is in the mail and it has a Geforce FX(i think) 5200 128mb card.

I was wondering, which drivers are better, the ones put out by NVIDEA or the Omega drivers?

I had better luck with omega drivers for my 5200.

But I would try them both to see. I installed Omega drivers under
the performance option and gained about 7-10 FPS in tower view
offline.

I had the drivers that came with my card, (53.03 i think), then I tried installing the most current NVidia drivers first (54.62 or something like that), then tried the most current Omegas (tweaked 53.03, prior drivers). I had the best luck/performance with the Omegas. I'm using a Chaintek FX5200 256mb card.

Good luck with it, I was sure happy when I fired up this new rig- made the game a heckuva lot better.

Cheers
