    Nvidia ForceWare Drivers

    Download Latest Official ForceWare Drivers

    Download Latest Official Beta Drivers

    ATi Drivers

    Different drivers for different cards, for these you will need to know the name and specification of your graphics card.

    Download Latest ATi Drivers

    ATi Softmod drivers

    Softmod Drivers


    Miscellaneous

    There are also many unofficial and tweaked ATI & 3dfx drivers available from Omegacorner, at the request of the sites owner I wont link direct to the drivers page, but I will link to the home page where you can navigate to the section you want. Please note neither I nor anybody else support these drivers, but for some they provide a decent performance boost and solve some of the issues with older ATi and 3dfx cards under 2K or XP.

    Omega Drivers

    Assorted other files, drivers and utilities can all be downloaded from:

    Guru3d

    XP Refresh Rate Fix

    Fed up of gaming at 60Hz under Windows XP or 2000? There are a variety of fixes available to 'fix' this problem, one of the best being Refresh Lock. Please note that you need 'proper' monitor drivers to be installed for this to work properly, as opposed to the default plug and play monitor Windows specifies.

    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.

    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.
