Hello!
I've tried the Overlay enabler and it really works, everything it's silk smooth, Whaaoooooooooooo!!
It's a really bad news for expensive pro cards.

Anyone have any idea if this works with quadro chips as well? I've got an ELSA GLoria II (which is very similar to the geForce, from what I understand) but I don't have the directory in my registry that the update mentions.

Are you refering to the reg updater on this site? I don't beleive its driver dependent .
If so all it requires is win2k it seems. Just right click it and install it into your system . Have you tried it and it comes up with an error? If so, don't use it. The Gloria 2 should work though since its GEforce 2 based.

What? Please repost as this thread sounds like what everyone is looking for. I know I am so please repost.
um..well just look at the homepage of Highend .
"overlay" enabler for Geforce... its right there in the new tools updates..

NONONONONONO..
The Gloria II uses the NV15 chip, Geforce "1", NOT Geforce 2. That's the Gloria III 
Overlays works now? at last...

ok just to clear up some misconceptions here
that reg edit does not enable overlays it enables Back Buffers which is somethign else the Brush based tools use along with hardware overlays
now see in some of the original drivers the geforce and geforce 2 had back buffer as an optinon you could enable if you wanted
HOWEVER with the release of the Quadro and Quadro II they took the back buffer out of the regular geforce drivers and left it only in the quadro drivers
this reg edit enables back buffers again which causes a big increase in speed at least it did on my machine
paint fxs and everything went up probably close to 100%
i don't know if it's about Back buffer or Overlays or whatever, It's working(for now i've experienced slowdown only with the Nurbs texture placement tool).
The Back Buffer stuff is enabled in the QuadroQuadro2 chip by default.
