Awesome drivers

I realize my last post was a bit... harsh, but I would like to share my appreciation to the person(s) responsible for the optimized 162.18 XP drivers. These are, hands down, the best modded drivers I have EVER used. They completely destroy Xtreme-G, Omega, and the DHZeropoint in every way. Keep up the good work.

glad they work well for you, the thanks would be directed to Regeneration since he does all the driver mods for NGOHQ

I second the accolades to Regeneration, and maybe a bit to NVidia, for the latest NGO Forceware drivers. I've gotten quite a few comments on my posts regarding newer NVidia drivers hurting performance on legacy cards, even only one series back (currently the 7-series (which I have)). Even the NGO modification has not been able to improve on this, though of course the IQ was obviously better.

Today I installed the latest NGO creation based on the 162.18 Forceware in my system; lo and behold, not only have these matched the performance of my beloved 91.47's, but they have exceeded it! Now I can have the latest bug fixes for the latest games, the best IQ available, and I am getting even more performance to boot.

NVidia has probably helped by finally providing a great, new driver that is also good for previous card series', but HUGE thanks to Regeneration for optimizing them and to NGO for providing then for us. BIG SMILES!

Since we're talking about the latest driver here... anyone else having problems with games such as World in Conflict? I get rather strange video lockups... the screen goes black (the sounds continue normally), and the whole things becomes unresponsive (no CtrlAltDel, no Alt-Tab, no Alt-F4).

I've read that the newest original nVidia drivers could fix this, but I don't want to part with those lovely NGO drivers...

keep in mind that the newer drivers will have fixes for newer titles such as World in Conflict

Yeah, but for ATi, there is Only the NGO 1.7.3. The 7.9 has much better performance and thats the only reason why I don't use the NGO Drivers anymore. I'm hoping for a newer release soon.

I installed these drivers but I noticed the install file was smaller than the 15822 version and also i noticed there was no writing to an NGOHQ folder in Program files like I had seen when I had installed other drivers from NGO. Hope my install went well - Device Manager shows new version for drivers - 16218 but install was different than before. Should i be concerned about this and thanks.

The 16218 beta extracts to temp directory, and it deletes the installation files after, nothing to worry about.

Thanks for your reply and for the great drivers. One last clarification in Add-Remover I don't se in NGOHQ setup files in this list of installed programs like in th eother drivers I have used. is that just a change in this installer? Thank you again.
