401704 2005-11-04 00:50:00 I have been trying the omega drivers for Radeon video cards. By my calculations they are not anywhere near as good as tha ATI catalyst drivers.

With everything set for maximum performance I get a 3DMark of between 1540 and 1882.
With the catalyst drivers I get a reading of about 2500.

I thought Omega were supposed to be good. :illogical

Define "good"?...

Good IQ, good FPS, good stability, good overclocking?

3Dmark0x is hardly a measure of real world gaming performance.

When using Omega drivers, load up ati tray tools and make sure 'AI' is enabled (Set to 'low')

So I went back to the ATI...

Set AI to low???? I want it on max. And that's where it will stay.

So 3DMark 03 is no good?

"Good" = Better than the previous.

401709 2005-11-04 03:08:00 try a newer 3d mark. Prescott (11)
401710 2005-11-04 03:12:00 Use whatever drivers work best for your rig.

And thats a pretty crappy score for 3dmark 03.

Don't I know it?
If I set the card to the defaults I can get a 3dmark of around 7,000.
That's why I am getting a new card.

401712 2005-11-04 23:02:00 Have you tried the NGO Optrimized ATi Drivers (http://www.ngohq.com/)

I also noticed a drop in performance with the latest release of the Omega Drivers. The NGO one have given me the best increase out of all the available driver out there.

cheers
