cheers for the heads up, i'll go grab em
No problems :devilish:
Another day another download ;)
what do these do? do they allow you to overclock your card? Ive got an ati now and was wondering whether to overclock or not
u can overclock with official catalyst drivers aswell romanov, just download radlinker/rage3d/radclocker whichever u want.
then why use the omegas? ???
Just for general tweaks as far as I knew. I'm still on the 3.10 Cats :pQuote:

I though the new drivers didn't really help with the 3DMark score? Don't really care about it to be honest anyway. As long as it plays all my games at a good framerate I'm perfectly content. It's only when things go wrong or things get slow that I worry about that sort of thing.Quote:

I shall probably get these whacked on over the weekend. I wish they did omega Linux drivers...
would i need to use an arctic cool er with overclocking as ive heard the fan isnt up to much when doing this?
thnx

They install straight over the top, thats what i did with the omega 4.4 to 4.5 driver upgrade i am using them right now ;).Quote:

Inside the Omega driver package is a program called ATItools, just run this and it will test your video cards mem and core speeds till the graphics start to artifact and then it will lower the settings until the artifacts go away.Quote:

Yeah you do really need an arctic cooler or a zalman job. An arctic cooler will allow you to clock the nuts off your 9800pro :devilish:Quote:

Cats usallly get a slightly higher number of 3dmarks and some people claim the omegas have improved image quality- you cant really tell the differnce in all honesty.
Dont go incresing more than 5mhz at a time and kepp VPU recover activated si it'l sort the card out if you mess up
thanks for that the arctic cooler is much cheaper than the zalman so Ill go for that before overclocking :)
Good choice- mine is doing the job nicely. Just in case you arent aware yet there are three versions of the cooler. The only difference is what cards they fit- not cooling performance or anything like that.Quote:

Should be able to pick one up from pc world for £10
