I know that Omegas are well known for ATI cards. Is there anything really good about them for Nvidia cards?
I might try these depending on the results of the bench and IQ comparison.

on 2nd hand, maybe i wont write the review or IQ comparison for these drivers. When i installed them, i noticed they changed things like disabled Vsync and certain other things in the control panel. This leads me to believe that what people have said in the past is true, that the only thing he does is pretweak the official nvidia drivers. anyway, here are the benchmarks. I changed the settings in the omega drivers to be identical to the nvidia official drivers, ex. enabled vsyc, etc. I noticed the differance when i first ran the test and the omega drivers were 25 points higher, so i went out to the driver control panel and corrected the settings to make it fair (disabling vsync goes a long way, but i dont think it is worth it, so in all my tests, it is enabled)

this leads me to the conclusion that: everything done in the omega drivers can be done in the nvidia reference drivers via the nvidia control panel tweaking of settings.

I am sure if its these drivers fault but I kept getting crashes in my games after installing them.

use driver cleaner to uninstall the old drivers first. I was able to install and uninstall without problems and the games i tried went great in terms of stability
