Final verdict Omega 3.6 based drivers?

~~BMG_Cya=-~~ · Aug 13, 2003, 03:33 AM

I haven't even tried the new Cat 3.6's much less the Omega's based on them for Win XP. Would like a few opinions
on how well the newest Omega's stack up against the 2.4.43's (Cat 3.4 based). I tried the Cat 3.5's and the Omegas based on them
and decided to stick with the 3.4/2.4.43's. So....

Omega's latest compared to Omega's 3.4 based 2.4.43's? Need at least 10 good, seperate opinions.
If I decide to install the Omega's, I'm going to do a re-format to get a nice clean install...reason I'm asking.

I play mostly D3D games, so Open GL means next to nothing to me. Thanks.

Last time I installed the Omega's were after a clean install of win XP pro. I used the 9800hack- they work great all the way around. even in openGL- I think they look much better, and with the 9800 hack they are noticeably faster especially when using AA.

My experience anyway.

--edit--- They were the ones based on 3.6 I was talking about--

3.5s are the best IMO.. I prefer performance than quality.. the 3.6 driver sets (both the omega and the standard catalyst) were giving overclocking probs. My 9700 did 420/380 with the 3.5s.. now I can't even go 300 with the 3.6s.. I'm sticking to the the trusty 3.5 for now.. until probably 3.7.

I would have to agree. The Omega 3.5's are my driver of choice!

NM...waiting on the 3.7's...Omega's. These last two Cat releases have been more about fixing bugs than performnace increases.

roger that. I just bought planetside and guess what.. I try to go to a vehicle terminal and bam.. crashed.. i think 3.4s/3.5s are the best ATM.
