Nvidia GeForce

Most of that is already answered! I said quite clearly that this is a graphics card I hope to give away (which means the system will change) with working drivers. I also said it's an AOpen GeForce4 440MX. I didn't say it's the S*** Edition - but now I have

WinXP Pro; ALi unified drivers 2.07; DirectX 9c; UT 4.36; NV unified drivers

News Flash: It's working at the moment with Omega Drivers!

I'm not yet sure why it's working though. The desktop was set to an unussually low resolution - could this affect Direct3D? It certainly wouldn't with any other brand of chip.

It's not great though. At 1024x768x32 it feels slow, even if it doesn't look it; mouse movement kind of feels like dragging around the environment instead of moving through it

Also, it's refusing to use S3TC textures. The rendering looks ugly.

Heh, this thread reminded me to upgrade my drivers for my 128mb nvidia GeForce 5200. although, whenever I tried to stat Cossacks (a rather old game) I would immediatly get a blue screen of Death , So, useing the add/remove in the CP, I uninstalled the driver. Restarted and I was in 640*480 16colours which I expected but then, trying to install the drivers that came with the card (on the cd) I couldn't it just gave me an error before it got to the actual installing part. so, then I came to this thread, followed jeratain's link to guru3d and downloaded the 56.** driver which I had before I upgraded to 61.**(IIRC). Restarted and everything works great now
So, I'm basically posting to thank Jeratain

5x were better than 6x for me too, but I must concede that - for D3D - the Omega drivers are more stable than all NVidia ones. I'm not taking back any of the things I said about NVidia until they provide working drivers!

The Omega OpenGL driver is really awful though. The best I have found for that would have to be NVidia 4x

I meant to say thanks Jeratain aswell, but I was too lazy to click back a page to check the username spelling

Thanks Dease for posting that
