Over @ Driver Heaven, they have posted infomation on new Omega drivers.
Read More for info.
From the words of OmegaDrive himself: " I have updated the Nvidia drivers for Win9x/ME/2k/XP.
Updates:
* Fixed some graphic issues, the graphics detail will stay, but with less shimmering. (9x/ME/2k/XP)
* Fixed the XP problem with resolutions, now I used the standard nvidia resolutions + added my custom resolutions. (not tested thou, don't have XP installed, need feedback)
* Removed support for W-Buffer, it was giving more problems than helping out, if a game needs W-Buffer support, it will use Z-Buffer instead when the W-Buffer is not detected, so don't worry.
* Added RefreshForce to fix the 60Hz problem. (2k/XP)
* Added Artifact Tester to test memory overclocking limits. (9x/ME/2k/XP)
* Added the DirectX control panel. (9x/ME/2k/XP)
* Added Multires, to change resolutions and refresh rates on the fly. (2k/XP)
Download here. Enjoy!"

So whats this guy done exacly that any of us couldn't do with a decent tweaker like RivaTuner? Besides, if he thinks that adjusting mip-map detail can even begin to approach the benefits of anisotropic filtering.........well, I wonder what David Kirk of Nvidia would say to that. |

i know he messed with the LOD, which was something i have been doing for some time now. But that aside, these drivers helped a good bit in GTA3, it looks and runs better (with various other GTA3 tweaks applied) I'll download them and give them a try. FWIW, both the 9x/xp versions work fine for me. |
