I tried DNA drivers before, were very unstable. I suggest to stick to CATs or Omega

Blade_Runner · #26 (**permalink**) 7 Jun 05, 03:02 PM

Yup DNA's dont equal Omegas with regards to IQ and performance.

Blade_Runner · #27 (**permalink**) 15 Jun 05, 09:45 AM

Some Updates from Omega ! he has been quite for some time now

Looks like Rad linker has been stopped and ATT will be used instead ! Damn i am so used to rad linker

Now to the important stuff...

I have been working in some very big changes for the Radeon Omega Drivers, first of all RadLinker will no longer be part of my sets, is not my decision, it was ChrisW, he is no longer interested in developing RL further and I respect his reasons for it, so is time for me to move on. Second, the new tweaker that will ship with the drivers will be ATI Tray Tools, by Ray Adams, and of course, I'm working with him to make a special version for the Omega Drivers with features not found in the original ATT. Third, with the help of Ray, I'm rewriting all my tweaks for the next set based on the Cat 5.6, I want to clean the old code and start fresh to remove some possible compatibility problems in the future. With that said, expect a release sometime this week of the Radeon drivers and also, for Nvidia fans, I hope to have something as well (don't worry, I have not forgotten u guys)

Wanted to knw if ny1 has tried ny of the last 4

BTW ny1 here does driver comparisons

PCJedi · #29 (**permalink**) 20 Jun 05, 11:32 AM

@Rocky, is it not that 77.62 are XG drivers while the latest forceware drivers are 77.50. I could not find 77.62 in Forceware. could you please post in a link if they have been released. Nikhil is driving me up the wall.

I have not had peace since he posted that 5900 score in 3DMarks.

Rockyme2002 · #30 (**permalink**) 20 Jun 05, 11:44 AM

Hmmm.....
These r Beta's , so use at ur own risk......

nd also these r said to accomodate the new 7800GTX, so dont expect ny HUGE performace tweaks in these.
