Di solito gli omega vanno sensibilmente meglio dei Catalyst.

ecco il "READ ME":

OMEGADRIVE here!
These are my "optimized" drivers for the ATI Radeon family of video cards.

What's New? (2k/XP 2.5.67)

* Based on the official Catalyst 4.8 drivers.

* Added support for some new Radeon cards.

* Fixed a few laptop bugs (but still unsure about the video playback problem).

* Optimized the current OGL driver for D3, it should improve performance with
no loss in quality.

* Optimized FSAA performance for both D3D and OGL.

**************
Important Notes:
1. If you are using an Omega soft-mod and you are experiencing crashes, black
screens, artifacts or the "check board effect" during game play, run the new
included Driver Swapper utility and select the Normal driver, the reason is
that your card is not accepting the soft-mod due to broken/incompatible
hardware.
2. Using Special OGL file: Since this OGL file has some small bugs, if you got
video corruption in Counter-Strike, all you need to do is to add "-32bpp" to
the game's command line or set it up in Launch Options (CS 1.6 + CS:CZ). The
game will run FASTER and look better than using 16bit color.
**************

REMINDERS:
1- If you have the normal ATI drivers installed, uninstall the ATI Control Panel
BEFORE upgrading to these drivers, the Omega Drivers already have the CP
integrated and another CP will cause conflicts or other problems.

2- There is no need to uninstall ANY previous drivers (ATI or OMEGA) when
installing these, the new ones will overwrite any previous settings, but if
you still want to uninstall them completely, is ok.

3- In Windows 2k/XP, ALWAYS disable DDC in the ATI "Displays/Monitor" CP after
installing drivers to be able to use ALL the refresh rates and resolutions
your monitor supports, also this is the best way to avoid the 60Hz RR bug.

4- The WDM drivers for VIVO and AIW cards are not included, but they can be
downloaded separately from a link in my drivers page.

5- The Radeon cards do support FastWrites and they will work with it on
(on some machines), but it is not recommended, there is NO SPEED gain
when using FW, and this option will affect your PC's stability a LOT,
most game crashes and problems are because FW is enabled.

6- Install the included Multires utility to have access to ALL the available
resolutions in the Omega Drivers, standard Windows doesn't show all of them.

7- Always uninstall the previous version of RadLinker before installing the new
one included in the latest Omega Drivers.

8- After installing the new drivers and rebooting, if your desktop is SLOW and
games won't run, is because AGP acceleration has been disabled by Windows, in
order to fix this you MUST re-install the latest AGP chipset drivers for your
Mother Board (this also includes laptops). After rebooting check the Advanced
SmartGart Options in the Omega Start Menu and see if at least AGP/PCI read are
both ENABLED, if all of them are enabled, the better, but some MBs doesn't
support AGP/PCI write functions, if all still disabled, just click on "Retest
All" and press OK to restart.

I don't recommend the use of ANY external tweakers with my drivers (specially
Rage3D Tweaker), as they override my special settings and will make my work
useless. The only time I recommend a tweaker is when you have a specific
problem with a specific tweak and need to change it in order to make the drivers
work correctly. Also if you use a tweaker for overclocking, FSAA, Gamma or
Aniso settings, is just fine, but you'll be better off using the integrated ATI
CP for that (which is ok by me if you change any setting in it).

If you have any problems with this drivers please go to my webpage and look in
the ATI help section for answers. If still have problems look for the drivers
thread in www.driverheaven.net forums and let me know what is going on.

If you happen to find a new tweak or fix for a specific game or many games
and it proves that it works then drop me an E-Mail (don't post it in the
forums), I'll make sure credit will be granted to that person in this INFO file.

IMPORTANT: Don't bother ATI about these drivers as they are unsupported by them!

[Mostro!!]

ora scarico e provo

[mcardini]

Scaricati e montati.
Io non faccio bech, ma posso assicurare che "sul campo" la mia fida 9600XT è migliorata molto in Lock-On e sensibilmente in Flight Simulator.
Lock-On sembra quasi allegerito, veramente notevoli questi omega.
Anche Il2-Sturmovik, che faccio girare in OpenGl sembra aver guadagnato qualche frame.

Edit: I miglioramenti gli ho notati rispetto ai Catalyst ufficiali 4.8

[Mostro!!]

messi su.....

doom3 gira ancora meglio di prima, e nel timedemo faccio 1 fps in +
