Well dl drivers and installed . Tested with 3dmark2001 and it is an improvement over the omega drivers I was using.

Glad to hear it Bronk, using a 7800 series card correct?

Edit: Nevermind I see where you have the 6600. Let me know how they work out for you after a little use.

Thats expected thou , omegas arent supposed to be the fastest in synthetic benches, they are tweaked to have better image quality. I wish omega was still doing Nvidia drivers , i used his drivers for all my ATI cards , last time i looked he hadnt done an nvidia driver for a year or so .

Omega has 2 driver sets higher quality and performance drivers.
I was running the performance drivers. The Omega performance series had boost over the corresponding stock driver.

See link http://www.omegadrivers.net/

Bren flew last night in the snap shot no anomalies and was very smooth.

Are you having the frame rate drops & the little stutters Bronk? I am & I am curious if these drivers are conflicting with the new 2.08 version.

Bronk · « **Reply #37 on:** June 06, 2006, 03:17:19 PM »

No stutters but CVs do chew up frame rates.
Only thing that helps when around cv is to set to default. Usually i have 7/8 max. This is at 1024x780 ,512 tex size.
