Catalyst 3.6 and Omega 2.4.74 report at Dark][Tweaker

Dark][Tweaker has thrown up their Catalyst 3.6 and Omega 2.4.74 Driver report you'll be surprised to hear that Omega's Drivers beat the Catalyst's 3.6 drivers in the 3DMark2001 benchmarks! I haven't used google to translate the article as I'll let the benchmarks do the talking.

Nothing against Omega, who has done great service for the 3dfx, Nvidia, and ATI communities, but concluding that anyone is a winner on any of those benchmarks is grossly inaccurate. Maybe when you scale graphs to .1 fps on the Y Axis you can make it look like a large difference on a particular benchmark but none of the differences appear to be within 1% of the next best score.

I think it is accurate because his drivers were consistantly faster. If they won about as many tests as they lost it would be a draw, but they were always faster then the regular 3.6s. I'm not in it for the speed though, I'm in it for the image quality.

well ... i would dis agree ... as eatch driver has it own EDGE.. as omega only Tweaks the defult settings..

the omega release Vs orginal I experianced a LOWER score with the omega in 2001se over the defult with the sliders simply moved to performance ....

I was shocked ... too but mabe its my setup i am geting better results with the officals...

I am running the latest beta nforce2 drivers and the latest sp2 beta... all the latest everthting

I tweak my system to the max as well ... often re-tweaking for a few extra points
