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

What's New? (2k/XP 2.5.97)

* Based on the Catalyst 4.12 Beta drivers.

* New Radlinker installation method, now it should install correctly every time.

* Fixed gamma issues with color control panel.

* WMV acceleration is now off by default, you can turn it on in the Options panel.

* New quick shortcut for Radlinker, just right click your desktop and go directly
to all the Advanced 3D settings.

* Fixed Standby/Suspend/Hibernation bug.

* Added a lot of new resolutions for wide screen monitor/dfp users.

* Fixed the Forced Anisotropic settings, now they should not reset to Performance mode.

* Removed the special Counter Strike OpenGL from the package, now that CS:S is available,
this is no longer necessary.

* Fixed some uninstall issues, now the drivers should completely be removed if you select
to do so.

**************
Important Notes:

1. Well, at last, the fix for the dreaded overlay video on some laptops bug has been found.
The cause IS NOT the ATI drivers or any of my settings, the cause is a hardware bug, more
specifically a BIOS bug. In the testing, many people already updated their Sager notebooks
with a new BIOS provided by Sager and the video problem is GONE! So I encourage you to
go to your manufacturer's web page and see if a new bios update has been issued for your
laptop, and if not, e-mail the manufacturer so they can rush out a fix for this.

2. CCC will work with the Omega Drivers, but is NOT recommended that you install it, all
the functions found in CCC are already included with RadLinker Omega Edition or will
be included in a near future as this new CP project develops.

3. Now the Omega Drivers will use a built-in, special RadLinker version ("Advaced 3D" tab)
with the following features:

> Uses NO resources.
> Doesn't require .NET to work.
> New settings for both D3D and OGL.
> Golbal controls to set both D3D and OGL in one pass.
> Automatic Per-application profiles.
> Integrated Overclocking.
> Desktop and Game Color/Gamma control.
> Game Color/Gamma control for profiles.
> Temporal AA settings (T2 & T3) and Temporal AA Threshold control.
> Trilinear filtering can be forced for Anisotropic filtering.
> Catalyst AI support.

This new CP was made in conjunction with ChrisW, maker of Radlinker, as an exclusive
feature for the Omega Drivers and we will keep adding features in future releases.

4. Since RadLinker is now a vital part of the Omega Drivers, it will not be an option
to select during setup anymore, it will now automatically look for and uninstall ANY
previous version and replace it with the new one.

**************
REMINDERS:

A- 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.

B- 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.

C- 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.

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

E- 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.

F- 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.

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

H- 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- 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.

J- See Omega FAQ on my site for further questions.


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!

Beh...sarà difficile che escano i 4.13....
Casomai i 5.1

[Gabie81]

Raga, ma nelle opzioni avanzate 3D del radlinker, non c'è più la suddivisione D3D ed OGL?

[F3D3]

Mi date una mano per favore? Non capisco le barrette del'anti aliasing e dell anisotropico che valori sono.
Sono tre tacchette e quattro rispettivamente, cosa indicano?
Dove è il minimo e dove è il max?
E quelle altre tacchette affianco?

Grazie per l'aiuto.
