    Hey, everyone. I realize that a lot of you use mobile nVidia GPU's, and I'd like to introduce you to the DHzer0point drivers. These drivers are tweaked for the best possible image quality and performance. If you're not happy with the stock drivers at the moment, you can try these and see how you like 'em!

    DHzer0point 0.8425 Release Notes

    Improved Pixel shader and Vertex shader control
    Tweaks for improved video playback quality
    More OGL performance and IQ enhancements
    PCI Latency set to Motherboard default, keeps the Video card from hogging the Memory bus which can cause stuttering in some games and videos.
    VMR enabled by default
    Increased number of default resolutions if there are more you wish to see please let us know
    Custom Resolutions supported
    Everything under the sun available for SLI, Rendering options, weblink, multiple GPu configurations etc.
    VDS (Virtual DMA Support) Enabled, Allowing more control over DMA requests from and to the video card for increased performance.
    More tweaks for Purevideo, requires cards which support it.

    What to Expect in upcoming releases

    More resolutions
    More tweaks for performance as well as IQ in both 3d applications and Video.
    More of the best drivers in the world!


    You can grab 'em at DriverHeaven Downloads ( www.driverheavendownloads.net/zeropoint.htm)
    Enjoy!
    And please leave your feedback here!

    Hi guys, myself and fobis will be offering support for both the Nvidia and ATI drivers. I currently have these installed for my 7800 GTX and games look and play great with them.

    As always when installing new drivers, please uninstall the previous drivers, reboot in safe mode, run drivercleaner (I normally run Cab Cleaner first, then select the all the Nvidia filters, not the Nforce filters!), reboot and proceed to install the zer0point drivers.

    PS: You can obtain DriverCleaner here: http://www.drivercleaner.net/

    Great info, thanks for posting on the forums! It's good to see more than just Omega and standard drivers being mentioned.

    I'm going to give your ATI Catalyst drivers a go tomorrow morning. I'm still using the standard ones >.< heh

    When I installed the drivers, I noticed that the 1280x768 mode was not an option. Because I have a widescreen monitor, I need this mode...is it supported??

    Ok, I now realize that it never really installed the drivers. It said that the driver does not support windows xp.

    I am running a geforce go6200.

    If you can beat the Mobileforce Drivers from Tweaksrus, I'll give them a try.

    It's there, at least it is an option for me. Did you follow the uninstalling/cleaning process correctly? I'll pass this along to the folks at DH and see what's up. Sit tight! :)

    Yeah, I tried everything. The drivers would not install, it said they do not support windows xp. I heard about that somewhere else, but there was no solution.

    Hey, guys. I'm really sorry about all the installation problems so far. It seems that all of the mobile users are suffering some sort of problem installing these drivers and this slipped through the beta testing somehow. We'll be releasing a fix very soon, so please bear with us.

    Once we get the updated set up, it should work just fine. I'll let you know once we've got the updated set on the server. Sorry for the inconvenience, but we promise it'll work with all mobility cards, now.

    EDIT
    For all of you mobile users, you can grab the driver set that works with mobility cards here until the server is updated.
    Enjoy!

    So has anyone tried these with a Geforce Go 7400 card?
