But i'll be waiting for the omega driver myself.
I'll be waiting for the patch so I can o/c without corruption, I'm perfectly fine with the CAT3.7 at the mo!
The patch?!
i'll be waiting for the omega versions![]()
wasnt there a 3.9 omega beta released on the site? based on the 3.9's leaked by dell?
what does 3.9 have that 3.7/8 dont?
A few bugfixes and a shade more performance on benchmarks, according to posts I've seen elsewhere.
Do the omega drivers perform better than standard ati drivers? I might have to give em a go.Originally posted by Knoxville

Well supposedly ATI found a way to increase performance with the drivers but have made it so the 9800 onwards only see the benefits, the omega have a fix so 9500 (mod) and 9700 users can have these increases (supposedly it mostly AA and AF improvements.
Also the omegas have bug fixes, slightly better IQ and some nice utilities with it (Overclocking, triple buffering e.t.c.)

All drivers from CAT3.5 and up detect if you're o/c'ing and do their best to either set clocks back to default or crash Windows on you, certainly with locked cards (like most 9500, 9500PRO, 9600 & 9700). This is what the little patch overcomes, it's designed for CAT3.7 (and the Omega based on them) but can easily be modified to work with CAT3.8 although diffs are so small I'd stick to CAT3.7 (or Omega). All you need to use RivaTuner for is to apply the little patch to where ever you placed your backup folder for your drivers (default is 'C:\ATI' IIRC), then you install the now patched drivers and o/c.

To quote malfunction:
"There's a patch you can run with RivaTuner that hacks the driver so that it doesn't reset your card back to default speeds. Tested and working with my (sapphire) 9600 np and 3.7 CATs" and also tested by me with Omega based CAT3.7 and 9500PRO.

Any word on whether these drivers have addressed the heat issue that the 3.8's had?
