Problem with Omega Drivers and 4.8 beta drivers

I have a problem where the drivers are breaking opengl so i cant run doom 3 or any opengl based game, and also it makes stuff really slow to refresh. I have no idea what is wrong, could someone help me out?

Welcome to DriverHeaven m8,

You probably installed the "modded ngo" OpenGL driver, if you revert to the normal ati opengl driver doom3 will run ok.
there's an option to switch it in the omega drivers.

another option can be to try the 4.9 beta which preforms better in doom3, still beta so be cautious .

Ok I uninstalled all ATI drivers, including Omega's and then i installed the 4.9's and it worked, Do you think that I would get better performance with the Omega ones, if i got them to work, or with the 4.9's?

for doom 3 use the 4.9's alot better luck with those. As for omega driver.... use those for the rest of the games basically people are having some issues in other games with 4.9 since they are still beta.
