NOT DRIVERS SITES; BUT WORTH CHECKING OUT: A place where you can download a catalog of cheats(some3700 cheats) which is updated every month or so and is downloadable to your hard drive(about 3 megs) http://www.cheatbook.de/ and for a program which can be used to change your wallpaper and do all sorts of other cool stuff to your desktop: I highly recommend this one: http://www.wallpaperchanger.de/ both sites are free
Here's a link that i find extremely useful: Driver Guide It's basically a driver website (duh) thats constructed differently. Its all visitor information. Its totally message board driven (broke down into manufacturer and model number) where people post locations of the hardest to find drivers. So far i've found drivers for an unbraded tv card (all the information i had was a tiny serial number printed on the curcuit board!), a 1995 15'' monitor and an unbranded modem. Very useful for all those bits and bobs you've got lying around that you bought second hand.
probably not all that impressive for the ppl with gf4's/9700''s but glexcess is a pretty decent opengl benchmark.
ATI Tool - For ATI cards only allows you to check for artifacts as you clock. Also can find the max mem or max core automatically.
but ATI TOOL can get ur 9800/9700 pro fried easily.....especially when u use the auto-finding max core n mem function.....it sometimes kill ur card.... thats wot i saw from their official forum...
Yup that's very true I'd recomend keeping an eye on it when running max mem / core function. Good little proggy apart from that though.
Thanks for the links I need to update this sometime, sure theres a lot more that could be added in addition to whats there already. Gonna start after my exams are done with I think...
