NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver v2.9792
Posted by Regeneration on January 22nd, 2007, 11:34 AM

The NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver is a modified version of the NVIDIA ForceWare driver. The main purpose is to satisfy the users with better performance, image quality and compatibility. The NGO NVIDIA Optimized Driver can enhance your experience in games, multimedia and general usage. This project is especially suited for enthusiasts and gamers that want to have the best gaming experience.

This driver includes NVIDIA's old Control Panel. We’ve preferred to include the old Control Panel over the new one due to flexibility and performance reasons. The Driver has support for all GeForce/Quadro cards – including mobile series (Go) as well. This driver has a special compatibility mode option that provides better stability, and workaround for some known bugs.

If you already installed v1.9792, we’re highly recommending updating it with this version instead. The second version (this one) includes fix for several games, refresh rate, GPU detection and some other minor issues.

Thought you might like to see this set of tests i ran Regen, these all used 3Dmark 05 as using 06 version is far to dependant on CPU compared to 05 to get any meaningful results/differences.

That new "Enhance AA in game" system that arrived in v96+ of the drivers does make a big difference IQ wise to 6,7,8 series cards. The game can still tell the drivers AA these bits ONLY please mr driver/hardware. As most games have only 2x or 4x AA settings this setting overides that and can use 8xS (for example) with the game still telling it what to AA and what not to AA.
If you set/force 8xS without this setting the game cannot tell the driver anything at all so AA's the whole scene thus dropping the performance.

As somebody said in the v1 thread of these drivers the color vibrancy and saturation is really impressive.
Keep up the amazing work you put into these drivers NGO team.

Delerious you rock; thanks for the numbers as I have a XFX 7900GT (PV-T71G-UDE7) and I plan on messing with it more aggressively. The AA info is much appreciated as well. My card was made before the black VIVO models, so it's plain green and 3rd fastest stock GT spd (after XXX and Extreme models). I'm about to put a Zalman VF900-Cu on it and figured might as well try some tweaked drivers as well before thinking about messing with the clocks.

This may sound like a newb question, because I am when it comes to using ngo drivers. Active NGO developers must really know what they are doing, because nvidia's official 97.92 only support the 8800 series cards! Why would nvidia hold back on supporting their older cards? Is this another sign of MS getting in the way, distracting nvidia because of DX10? Just wondering how this support was added back in to take advantage of the current build on 79xx and previous series cards. Hopefully it wasn't too painful. Great work, mmm saturated colors on nvidia? Whodathunkit?
