Downloaded, and switching to normal XP to install.. No plans on making a 64-Bit version? Would be nice But 32-Bit Windows also works really well.

Thanks Omega

CS:S Stress Test ATI MR9800 256mb:

62.25 fps ATI 5.8 Mobile

61.96 fps NGO Ultra 5.8

59.01 fps DH 5.8

73.38 fps Omega 5.8 WOW!!!


When running ATI Tray Tools however my system freezes once it has loaded and then a few seconds later I get the blue screen lockup which lists some problem with infinite loop and 'ati2dvag'. Any ideas?

Thx again!

i know its a real long shot, but these dont happen to stop the vpu recover problem in GTA SA do they? 5.8 officials seem to still exhibit the problem for me

Thanks dude!!!!!!!!!!

Kemal

Thanks for the release

As others have inquired, are there any plans for a 64-bit version of future drivers?

Strange- on my x800xl AGP- either the drivers or ATi tray tools is setting my memory clock speed wrong on boot up. It is always either 4 or so mhz slow or a couple mhz fast.

Also my GPU temp seems to be a lot hotter.. (3 or 4 c) Not sure what is going on. Seems like it should just read the default speed off the video card bios?

Every re-boot it seems to be different. I will have to keep testing to see what happens.

I've played Battlefield 2 for a while already with these drivers. There's no/less stuttering at the beginning. Overall it runs a bit smoother.

danked

thx

BWX

Hmm, I don't know what's going on.. I lost 1030 pts in 05'...

I don't expect huge gains, but to lose 1000+? Something must be wrong.

-seems like the ATT and the Driver CP are fighting each other- when changing a setting in one, it doesn't register in the other, etc.. I'll try to reinstall.. Seems there are some bugs or something unfortunately.

I ran driver cleaner and followed the instructions for safe mode and all. Installed the omegas and played bf2.

I noticed some stuttering but diden't think anything off it. Then I press tab to show scores and everything is all mesed up like scrambled which I have never seen before. Kept playing and then my computer just restarted. A dialog came up that said it recovered from a crash when it rebooted and wanted to submit it microsoft and said it was driver problem.

So I didn't mess with anything to see if it would happen again but it didn't although I am noticing more stuttering than usual wondering if its the server or the driver. If I get that scramblled stuff again and a restart I am reverting back to the omega v2.6.42 which I had before and worked fine.

If anyone else has this problem please post so I know I am not the only one.

Omega can you please do a Windows Xp Pro X64 Edition of these drivers.
i dont use Windows XP Pro x32 anymore...

64 Bit version would be sweet ....... pritty please

BWX

I got really bad scrambling of the desktop after the initial installation- had to reboot to get rid of it..
I do also notice horrible stuttering in all the games I have tested. RBR is really slow and stutters a lot.. Weird because usually Omega's are much smoother. I think it has something to do with ATT.. That program seems not to let the driver CP make adjustment to basic graphic settings.. I lost 1000pts in 3dmark 05 and 01.. with same gfx settings and clock settings.. I am going to reinstall.. but before that run DC again.. I sure hope it solves all these problems.

scottyk87

Let me know if that fixes it because I will do the same. I also just tried clearing my BF2 cache because i noticed after I installed the drivers and loaded it up it did that optimizing graphics thing so I will see how this works.
