Best drivers for 9800XT? (first ati card)

[DamienKC]

Hi there, need some advice from all you ati-knowers :p.

This'll be my first ati card, it's a 9800pro flashed to XT. I don't know which drivers are overall the best, so it'd be nice to get some idea. I'll be playing CS 1.6/HL2/CS:S. Benchmarks won't be much, since...it's just a 9800 series card :p.
So any input would be nice.

Thanks!

Just get the latest officials, or omegas, should be fine...

Omegas definately the omegas.

Omegas and dont foregt to overclock the puppy. The only time I would not do this is with a new game like doom that had a bug fix and Omega has not caught up yet. Of cource Omega often has the fixes first.

Another vote for the omegas

Thanks!

Dont knock a 9800 Pro...my Pro owns most 6800 U's in DX8 setups...and my older 9800 Pro would of keep right up with a OCed 6600GT or higher in DX9...

OK so the "Omega Radeon Catalyst v2.5.97a (4.12)" are the best ones? Are there any patches or any stupid stuff like that I should know about?

[TimoneX]

Nope they work like a charm as is.

9800xt.... why? those cards are 400$ why not x800?
