    Maybe made for specific cards, better architecture/code er something. I kinda wanna try'em, but I dunno too risky. Someone else do it and report back.

    Edit: you know, my card came with 77.77 drivers, I updated to 84. w/e and I got blue screens of death. I tend to stick with the original drivers...

    for one ngo created more stablility for games that nvidia didnt think was important enough to fix and some of the newer games that nvidia said they fixed but actually wasnt ngo optimized and they took out all the garbage that nvidia added and left the important part. that is how.

    I owuld tell some stories but to lazy to type it all out.



    NGO drivers are customized Nvidia drivers that (to me and a few other friends i know that use them) work way better then the original nvidia drivers.

    Here is a link to the nvidia section of Ngo http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=F...&dwn_cat_id=10
    I usually use ones from here for Nvidia. Their ATi-drivers aren't all that great, tho'. Does the NGO-people make good ones for Radeons?

    Kk, I'll check it out then, thanks anyways. I'm to sort out someone's 'puter during the holidays, figured I'd get him some better-'n'-standard drivers as a bonus, like.

    I did n't notice a big difference either with the Omega drivers but I'm not a big gamer , just nice to know there are other options .
