Omega drivers
How much better are these drivers than the ones that ATI puts out?
I realize that the omega drivers are based on the catalyst ones, but I am just curious. Do they fix others problems that the cat's don't or are they just streamlined to put out extra FPSs? TIA for the help. Steve |

Omegas are about visual quality not speed, so you could argue it 'fixes' some things if that's what you're after. Some people find they resolve problems they experience with the official drivers, but that's not an across the board thing by any means. |

They are for gamers not speedsters. They are optimized for games. Benchmarks
have been known to be lower. Randy "Steve" wrote in message news:mKaec.11202$wP1.29806@attbi_s54... How much better are these drivers than the ones that ATI puts out?

The latest appear to have lower my 3DMark01 score slightly compared to the previous version but may be improving image quality (tank explosions in UT2004 seem a little better). -- Julian Richards computer "at" richardsuk.f9.co.uk XP Home L7S7A2 motherboard Powercolor 9800 SE 8 pipelines with Omega drivers 1 GB RAM 10 GB + 80 GB HDs CD+DVD/CDRW drives |
