| 291108 | 2004-11-12 23:54:00 | howdy, im wondering, should i get these "enhanced" omega drivers or should i just get the latest ati drivers, because at the moment i just have the drivers that were on the disk that came with my GeCube Radeon 9600se. Is there any performance boost in using these omega drivers?, i had them awhile ago and after a format i havent installed them again because i wondered was it really necessary. i know that these omega drivers have overclocking abilities, but apart from that is it worth getting these drivers? does anyone have these drivers installed? and is there a performance increase? and do you recommend using these drivers TIA |

| 291110 | 2004-11-13 02:07:00 | I doubt you'll notice much performance difference unless you are overclocking. But try it and see - if they don't work for you then install the ATI drivers. Mike. |

I notice you mentioned that you have a 9600se, the Omega drivers will let you 'soft-mod' that card into a 9600 pro, giving you a huge performance boost. However, if you don't play games, then there's no point in installing them, as you won't get any benefit from 2D applications. |

| 291113 | 2004-11-13 23:01:00 | Only mention of "soft-mods" I could find in the omega drivers was for 9700 and 9800 - no mention of the 9600. Mike. |
