Want better performance? Get better drivers!
NOTE: Check the compatibility list (if any)

Always uninstall any old drivers you might have, restart your computer and then install the new drivers!

Updated : August 18th 2011

These are drivers for Radeon 6000, 5000, 4000, 3000 and 2000 series GPUs.

Is it recommeded installing these? I've always had a "ATI knows best" attitude when it came to my drivers

What's your experience with these?

I haven't had any issues with either of the drivers. Currently I'm using an Nvidia card and I've not had any issues. I also have a Radeon X800 Pro and used to Omega Drivers without any issues. FYI, the Omega drivers are tweaked by a programmer who works for ATi, I recommend using those if you have an ATi card.

New drivers are available.
I'll be updating my first post with new links when ever some new stuff comes out.

Aww, don;t ignore the ATI fanboys

fata1ity · « **Reply #8 on:** November 02, 2007, 10:49:05 AM »

I'm not dude. There haven't been any releases from ATi

FYI, I'm a ATi fanboy trapped under a nvidia 8500GT.

I loved my Radeon 8500LE and X800 Pro.

3800....drooooollllllllllll!

New nVidia drivers are up, still nothing from ATi. They should release something by next week.

is ATI Omega 3.8.421 and Catalyst 7.10 the same?

and will the omega 1 work on my x1800xt?

?

fata1ity · « **Reply #11 on:** November 09, 2007, 07:00:07 PM »

Yes, it will work with your X1800 XT.
The Omega drivers are tweaked for extra performance and does not use the Catalyst Control Center (less memory wasted, CCC = p00). Don't worry about quality, the dude is an ATi driver programmer.

If you have an ATI card I strongly recommend the Omega drivers over the other. Currently there is no Vista support! So if you're on Vista you'll have to use the Official drivers.

will my graphics really improve if up upgrade to omega?

? will i see a difference?

fata1ity · « **Reply #13 on:** November 09, 2007, 07:39:51 PM »

Don't expect to see some insane performance boost but they shud perform better than the Cats. Which game are you looking for performance? Don't say Crysis because only god can help you there

emorphus47 · « **Reply #14 on:** November 09, 2007, 08:10:06 PM »

was gonna say crysis but NM
