Nvidia Omega Drivers?

[Fitz]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

I just purchased a Geforce 6800 GT OC to replace an ATI 9800 Pro. With the
ATI, I had been using the Omega Drivers with excellent results. I haven't
seen many references to the Omega's with the Nvidia cards. Is anyone using
them, and how are they?

Presently using RefreshLock on my kids Nvidia cards (4800 series). Using
MultiRes on the ATI, as it comes with the Omega drivers. Is there a
recommended program for locking refresh rates on the newer Geforce cards?

Thanks,
Fitz

I've been using Reforce for years now.
Works great on all Nvidia cards.

There are register hacks, that enable a extra tabs in the regular
forceware drivers, including refresh rate overrides.

Simply open the Windows Registry Editor and under the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak] key
create a new DWORD called NvCplDisableRefreshRatePage and assign it a
value of 0. Otherwise this section does not appear in the standard
Forceware Control Panel.

You also add a new DWORD CoolBits and give it a value of 0xffffffff.
This will enable clock frequency settings (overclocking basically).

Shite. He's not released any new versions since the 66.xx drivers.
