I'm staying away from these as one of the 'known issues' is a severe drop in
performance for wolfenstein enemy territory - not that I play that
particular game but whatever is wrong to cause something like that in a
mainstream title using a very popular game engine seems likely to affect
more than one game!

Also, My ATI TV stopped working after installing 4.1. I reverted to 3.10
and the TV is back to normal.

Thanks to your reply, I reinstalled 4.1 and rebooted a couple more times
and, Poof! TV is now working fine with 4.1 Weird is right! Thanks!

If Omega has already made them, you don't have to wait!

While he doesn't actually make them; what
he does do to them is well worth waiting for.

Asked before I'm sure ... but what advantages (in a nut shell) are there in
using the Omega drivers over the standard drivers e.g. better
stability/compatability, image quality etc?

Just curious as the ATI 4.1 drivers seem to be just fine for my comp (though
I did have problems with the Cat 3.8's).

Is the Catalyst 4.1 drivers competing with the 3.10's or am I
confused. Just got my 9800 Pro 128. Which drivers are compatible.

Both...

ATI have an interesting numbering scheme for drivers

3.10 means year 3 (as in 2003) 10th version that year.

So now we're in 2004, the first drivers they come out with are called
4.1 there's nothing more than that too it...

I'm currently running a Hercules AIW 9800SE with 3.10 catalyst drivers
and the pipeline unlock from ocfaq.com which has brought it up to
9800pro benchmarks.

Why am I using 3.10 and not 4.1... Well I could, but the best advice
with ATI drivers is... "If it ain't broke... Don't try to fix it!"

Thanks a lot. This had me puzzled.

I never had any trouble with the Catalyst drivers until the 4.1
drivers.
When I install de 4.1 drivers my monitor occasionally goes in to
save-mode. Monitor screens blanks and I have to reset my pc because
pressing a key does not wake my monitor.
