What’s New in Omega Drivers?
v1.169.21 XP
* Based on the Forceware 169.21 Official drivers.
+ Added resolutions not available on normal drivers and tweaked some that where.
* Added new D3D/OGL tweaks and removed obsolete ones.
– Removed all extra tools, only the drivers and Nvidia Control Panel are included.
* Lots of other internal changes that I can’t remember, been too long from last release, hehe.
Known Issues:
Since this is my first nvidia driver’s release in years and I have been
working hard on the website, some features will not be available at the
moment, like for example, laptop support, yeah, sorry, but I had to cut
something out in order to make the release on time with the new
website. Don’t worry thou, laptop support will be back on next release
for sure or in a possible re-release of the 169.21 drivers, that will
depend on how fast nvidia releases their next WHQL set.

v1.169.25 Vista
* Based on the Forceware 169.25 Official drivers.
+ Added resolutions not available on normal drivers and tweaked some that where.
* Added D3D/OGL tweaks.
+ My first Omega Drivers release for Windows Vista.

Other Important Notes:
* The drivers can be installed just by upgrading your current drivers,
that is, when changing between the same driver series, for example:
16x.xx->16x.xx, 17x.xx->17x.xx, etc.
* If you are changing from one series to another, ex 16x.xx->17x.xx,
it is recommended that you use uninstall previous drivers before
upgrading, this is done to prevent possible issues between driver
series.
* When possible use default settings.
* Always make sure you have the latest chipset drivers for your MB or
your laptop installed, this will prevent compatibility issues and other
problems in games.
What’s New in Omega Drivers?
v4.8.442 ATI XP
Known Issues:
1) After installing the drivers you will notice that they give you version number 3.8.442 instead or 4.8.442, no need to worry, is just a typo, sorry about that, I added the new version number when I was building the new installer and totally forgot about the driver build, since it was already compiled.
2) For the 2D->3D gamma trick to work properly you must NOT run CCC (if you have it installed); when CCC is open it forces it’s own gamma settings overriding any gamma you have set using a 3rd party tool. If you happen to open CCC by mistake, in order to recover the gamma correction values, you only need to run whatever gamma program you use and gamma should be back to your settings again.
3) Since Overscan has been from the drivers, if you need to connect your PC to a regular TV that DOES need overscan in order to view it properly, you need to install the official CCC Control Panel from ATI after my drivers so you have access to the new "scaling" feature and scale the overscan to fit your needs.
4) From Cat 6.6 and up ATI removed driver-level support for the following series of cards (including Mobility models): Radeon 7k, 8k, 9k-9250 Series. Since the Omega Drivers use ATI drivers as a base, that means they will also not include support for these chipsets, they may install, but the PC may give you a BSOD or a black screen upon boot, install newer drivers at your own risk. People that need to install Omega Drivers on these cards should use v3.8.252 or older, you can get these on the Archive section of my site.
