What drivers Should i get for my Radeon???

Boostin14PSI · 07-29-03, 08:27 PM

I going to be reinstalling windows and i was wondering what the most stable drivers are for my radeon?? I have been using the lastest drivers from ati but others say they are not so good.

I've heard that the Catalyst drivers are the faster of the two (Cat and Omega)

Boostin14PSI · 07-29-03, 09:08 PM

what version cat drivers the newest or cat 3.5?

I did pretty good with my Omega drivers, got 21400 in 3dmark01SE. These were the ones based off of the Cat 3.6's though and others have told me that the Cat's will be the quicker of the two.

Cats are a bit faster but omega's look tons better. Both are very stable, at least the 3.6's that just came out last week. Tested both with zero problems.

I use omega's and always will. Its worth it for my gameing experience..

Omega 3.5

the Omega 3.6 had a refresh rate problem for me but the Omega 3.5's have no problems that I have seen. They are a keeper, and yes the image quality is much better than the Cat's. Plus the Omega's let you soft mod your Radeon 9500 or 9700 with ease
