This has been discussed many many times in past. I suggest you search in
google groups for this topic. From personal experience, ATI and Omega are both EXCELLENT drivers. Omega's enable better overclock support for some chips (SE versions) and support Mobility series. Which is why I use them on my m10pro laptop. Omega often have better tweaks for games, so they tend to increase performance or IQ (or both) as opposed to ATI ones.. "Striker" wrote in message ...

I would think there's probably a lot more people here using stock Ati rather than Omega drivers, so we should expect to see more problems. Pure guess is, per user of either, they probably have equivalent levels of problems. patrickp - take five to email me |

I've been using Omegas since 3.7 and will continue to use his drivers OVER the ATI ones everytime. I don't update my drivers until Omega puts out his version of the latest. His driver package is amazing, and if you don't at least try them you're missing out. He regularly posts at www.Driverheaven.com forums. www.omegacorner.com Pluvious |

"of the people I know from various forums" - very possibly. However, if you were to poll _all_ the people who post here, I would suspect a large majority would use stock Ati drivers and, of Ati card users in general, even more so. patrickp - take five to email me |

Used Omega drivers for initial install. Don't leave home without them. |

Agreed, 90% will do a default install and leave it that way forever. Pure guess is, per user of either, they probably have equivalent levels of problems. Disagree, in 7 years of using Omega's I see almost no posts ever with problems attributed to Omega's so equivalence no, I don't think so. There was a spot in time 3 or 4 years ago when ATi tried to shut down the ' God-Bless-You-Man. At that time ATi insisted that the CPl be re instituted into his driver set[s] ( he did not have an ATi CPl ) and this did cause problems. This for historians is the only time I recall problems with Omega's. patrickp - take five to email me BoroLad |
