OT Performance Drivers

Fish40 · 01-13-08, 05:40 AM

What's up guys. I was just wondering if anybody uses Omega Drivers. I heard some good things about them, but I'm alittle scared to actually try them, especially since I'm not haveing any real problems with my current Cat. driver set (not the latest build).
I'm useing an ATI X1650pro, and it performs pretty well, but if the Omegas could give me alittle more "bang", I may try them. If anybody uses them, and has ATI, how did you install them? Did you have any probs? Under the "known issues", it mentions the possibility of haveing to reinstall your MB Chipset Drivers. From the looks of it, I don't think Intel even supports my Chipset (850E) anymore. Did anyone run into this prob. befor? Any info is appreciated

Thanks.

They are very good and works with my Radeon X1950 pro AGP, which I can't say about the new official ATI-drivers...

I haven't had any problems with them and no need to reinstall anything:

There's a thread where the latest Omega drivers (based on 7.12) are discussed, here. I've posted my opinion on those drivers. I have the same GPU as you.

I use the Sapphire ATI 2600 HD Pro 512mb AGP card and recently tried the OT drivers while they did work i got a bad case of transparancy issues via the periscope view... could see the sea both sides of the actual viewing circle so i've changed em back to the drivers that came with the card :- Drivers 8.401 (12-079) and Catalyst driver suite 7.8

these seem to be the best drivers that i've tried so far.

Cat 7.8's for me too! I have no problems with them, and I'm not about to start experimenting for no good reason.

Since trying the Omega drivers (yes i uninstalled them) before putting my original drivers back but now i've got problems. I would advise everybody switching to drivers on their graphics cards to do a full backup...

SH4 was perfect before altering the drivers, now no matter what driver set i put back on, and i do a complete removal / reg clean before reinstalling i now have graphical issue problems i've never had before. these are the periscope screen while the scope is down / up and underwater i'm now getting a gradient effect on water colour instead of the smooth colour change the deeper i go.

that'll teach me to change a good running setup
