DH zer0point drivers (ATI/nVidia)


Recommended Posts

These were released last week, but anyways.

For the ATI drivers...

*Based on the Official 6.2 Drivers

*New tweaks and optimizations to enhance driver performance and image quality.

*2 versions avalilable: one with the normal CP and another one with the CCC to reduce download size.

*This will be our last release with the normal CP since we're migrating to the CCC.

*DHzer0point Video Acceleration and IQ tweaks for enhanced video playback

*Adaptive anti-Aliasing Performance mode enabled by default, we felt this gave a mcuh better Image quality without a noticable performance loss. This is NOT the Case with the CCC release, you'll need to enable that on your own.

*H.264 Acceleeration enabled by default Requires compliant hardware and codec.

*PCI LAtency set to BIOS defaults, this stops the video card from hogging the PCI bus and can reduce skipping and stuttering in certain games.

Download with CCC

Download without CCC

For the nVidia drivers...

*Based on Forceware 8360

*Dual core/Hyperthreading optimizations from Nvidia

*Improved High End Pixel Shading Performance

*UT2004 and older early DX9/8 improvements

*Compatibility tweaks still included

*Fixed Resolutions bug

*All SLI options, rendering AA/AF, Overclocking options should be available

*Full Mobility support

*Hardcoded PCI Latency to BIOS defaults, keeps the video card from hogging the PCI bus, and can reduce or eliminate skipping from some titles

*VMR option available and enabled by default

Seeing how progress on the Omega Forceware drivers is going almost nowhere, I tried the zer0point nVidia drivers instead. They sure as hell cut the stuttering I experienced in UT2004 to a minimal level. :yes: Can't say anything about its supposed 'increased image quality' though.

let us know how they compare with ati and/or omega

I'm not too sure. But for those Half Life 2 / CS Source and Doom 3 gamers, this driver set has game specific optimizations for them, or so it says in the release notes. Strangely, I can't find those files in my install folder. :wacko:

    • Still hate Windows 11, I stuck it on my gaming machine again just for a nose to see what they had done, still as bad. Will restore Windows 10 back on it, suit MS anyway, they don't want me to run Windows 11 on it.
    • Ms did go with the you must sign into an account thing with Windows 8 for a while. The same sort of thing they are doing with Windows now and the MS account.
    • Hello, What sort of Microsoft Authenticator account login approval requests are you getting?  It is a generic authentication app and can be used with all sorts of services (Microsoft Account, Google Account, websites and services that support multi-factor authentication, etc.).

    • Windows 8? Nah. I found Window 8 worked well, get a third party start menu to get rid of the start screen, I used Start is back and windows 8 was pretty good. I used it even when Windows 10 came out as I found Windows 10 was iffy on my machine at the time was AMD FX Bulldozer based. It was only when I updated the innards to Ryzen that I had no choice but to go to Windows 10 as MS made it difficult to stay with Windows 8. ME, yes, that was not great, I liked the look of it, but it was not stable, shame really because Windows 98SE was the best of the dos based Windows.
