NVIDIA in Spin Over Driver Redistribution

July 6th 2007 | Drivers

The wibble is in a wobble today over a cease and desist letter sent by flacks at Green Team HQ to community website NGOHQ. The folks at NGOHQ, which is based in Israel, have a habit of taking the latest ForceWare releases, modifying the .INF files to add in support for older Nvidia cards and then re-distributing them.

A spokesman for the site, ‘Regeneration’, accused Nvidia of "psychological warfare" on its customers by removing older product support from the .INF files of new drivers, effectively forcing upgrades.

By adding back in product strings to the file, ‘Regeneration’ suggests he is doing the community a favour, putting the ‘Unified’ back into ‘Driver Architecture’, Graphzilla’s favourite term for describing its one-size-fits-most driver downloads.
