Hello group,

Are the OMEGA drivers recommended or do people
use the drivers from ATI?
http://www.omegacorner.com/

I have recently got a 9600 pro and would like to know
which drivers to use.

I play some games like Halo, half-life, IGI2, etc.
and am looking forward to HL2.

Thanks,

Navid

I downloaded the Omega driver and could see that the Omega driver is
somewhat
smaller in size; though after instalation, I could not see what changes
and/or how much
difference it makes as compared to the ATI driver from accompanied CD.
My card is a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT.

The Omegas are based on the official drivers so there isn't that big a
difference. They allow easy overclocking if that's your bag and they
seem stable enough.

They also alter some of the detail settings etc...

The only real advice I would give is for the O/P to try both
& see if he notices any difference and then go with the
preferred option.

I seem to be sticking with the official ones as I didn't
notice much difference personally.

I use the Omegas because of the 8 pipelines for the 9800SE.

I have a 9700Pro and I bought an exhaust fan to put next to the card.

Problem is my card wont work with it in.

I think it drags too much power?

I have a 550 watt power supply?

a cd-writer
a dvd writer
P4 Motherboard and P4 2.oGhz chip
Radeon 9700 P:ro
2 80mm quality fans
1 side fan
1 hard drive
1 floppy drive

It has 6 plugs coming from the psu - in 2 banks of 3

I have all the cd's and hard drive and floppy and 1 fan attached to one bank
and the rest to the other

if I install the exhaust blower my pc just beeps at me (i.e not enough
power) whicjever bank I plug it into

Surely a 550 PSU should handle this sort of power - I really dont have that
much going on in my PC????

I was running a 300 watt PSU which ran everything except the card and blower

these 2 items cant account for 250 watts can they?
 
Sorry guys wrong thread with that one.

i meant to say - I have the 9700 Pro (Powercoler) with stock cooling - and
the fans etc previously mentioned - what drivers would work best with mine?
and which drivers would be best for overclocking and what sort of values can
I clock to with stock cooling.

I heard somewhere that the 9700 Pro can be clocked to beat the 9800 pro????

I know a lot of questions but a keen newbie to the wonderful world of ATI.

Regards

Jim
