Hab vorhin mal bei Warp2Search vorbeigeschaut und bin auf nen Artikel über NVIDIA und Driverheaven gestoßen.
NVIDIA will mit Driverheaven zusammenarbeiten um direkten Kontakt zu den Usern zu halten, dort kann man dann Probleme mit Treibern etc. posten, es gibt auch noch ein Statement von NVIDIA selber:
There has been alot of discussion recently regarding 'Omega drivers', much of which is based on conjecture or on personal opinion. Although we cannot discuss the situation in detail, we do want to provide some clarification to NVIDIA's position on 3rd party developed drivers. We do, as active members of the 3D community, understand the need and popularity of 3rd party drivers but we have been reluctantly forced into taking this action. However this action is limited to a single occurrence and does not represent a company policy as to future thrid party drivers.
After reports of instability stemming from the third party drivers, we requested the drivers be removed from the website distributing them. The fact that this was being reported to us at NVIDIA implied that the drivers were not clearly marked as non NVIDIA and non official drivers and users were understandably upset that we were not taking action with respect to these drivers.
Only the drivers which users had complained about were asked to be removed from the website and we also asked for our logo to be removed to ensure that end users were not confused as to the origin of the drivers and subsequently the risk involved with using them.
NVIDIA does not, in any way, condemn the development of third party drivers; quite the opposite. We recognize the importance of third party drivers and for this reason we have not asked for work on the specific driver to cease. Our action is intended solely to ensure that the origin of the driver is clearly stated and the end user is made fully aware of the risks they take installing them.
Damit ist nun auch bekannt (Zwar nicht alles, aber immerhin) wieso NVIDIA die Omega Treiber "gestoppt" hat. Zumindest ist NVIDIA nicht gänzlich gegen 3d party Treiber, also können wir in Zukunft vielleicht auch wieder mit Omega Treibern rechnen.
Nun, der erste Teil der Zusammenarbeit ist eine Art von Q&A (Frage&Antwort), das heisst jeder kann in diesem Thread seine Fragen bezüglich NVIDIA posten die dann auch hoffentlich beantwortet werden.
Eure Meinung zu dem ganzen?
