neapolis reviewed v3.8.421 (Updated) on Jan 25, 2009

OK, that is very nice for hard-core gamers. One idea though. If there are so talented people, that are capable of writing drivers, why not write alternate drivers that will be an alternative to the PRO-drivers for FireGL , FirePro cards ... BUT for the regular graphics cards! :-) This would enable to run pro-apps smoothly on regular cards. (pro-apps not beeing able to run smoothly on "normal" cards are a complete cheekiness anyway!)

Best driver for ATI Cards!

No mobility or hardware vendor limitation!
This driver installs with all! including mobility Radeon cards of all vendors unlike ATi Drivers which check for OEM hardware and prohibit driver installation.

Best of all this driver comes with the normal control panel without slow CCC!!

Btw -Lord-, did you tried to use the new DriverHeaven's ModTool.NET 0.8.0.0? The IGP 9000 is supported the so you will able to use Vista on you lappie. But only for XPDM drivers since AFAIK IGP9000 supports only PS 1.4 and up to 64 or 128 MB framebuffer. So it has no sense to buy something better then Vista Home Basic.

the omega drivers are the bomb, I must admit. But, just like the official ATI drivers, there is no new support for the Radeon 9000's, more specifically the 9000 IGP for laptops. This single item prevents me from being able to use Vista on my 3.46 GHz laptop and that's a major disappointment.

AntiochMedia reviewed v3.8.360 on Jun 11, 2007

The older legacy version of Omega tools were my saving grace for getting my ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 to run on Windows Vista with dual screen support with a 22" 1680x1050 screen. I tried many other options, but this worked best.

The drivers are great. I would love though for someone to focus on creating wrappers for non-Vista certified video cards to support Aero even if it's slow.

hook_ reviewed v3.8.252 on Aug 5, 2006

I had an intresting situation with my new X850 XT card and latest Omega Drivers. Drivers installed correctly and worked fine. I played latest games with graphic options tuned high without problems. But suddenly after 1-2 day uptime, Direct3D games failed to start. Only thing i get was black screen. So i had push the reset button. Same thing happened two days later. And two more days later, same annoying black screen.

It was weird to because after the reset, everything was back to normal, but day or two later i was experiencing this. So switched back to original ATI's drivers and guess what, no black screens after two days. I can keep playing without having reboot my machine.

So i guess this teached me that unofficial drivers doesn't always provide best solution.

The main reason omega exists is that ati drivers in general can not be installed on laptops

Moreover laptop manufacturers do not update their drivers for months.

The omega developer submits his drivers with modified inf files so as to install them on whatever ati hardware you have.

I think these are fantastic drivers compared to the original ATI versions, haven't tried DNA drivers so i can't compare those.

As for the requirement for SP2 to be installed, i don't think it's that much to ask, but i for one suffer no negative effects by updaing to SP2, but this might not be the same case for others.

But in response to users that refuse to update to SP2 simply to spite the company (god knows why this would upset m$ anyway :P), they are idiots and don't deserve these drivers anyway.

yokozuna reviewed v2.6.83_7z on Dec 4, 2005

eblade, tools&options-->general options-->general-->overclocking limits. If you use a good R.9550 card (eg. made by Gigabyte) you should reach 420/520 and above.

I use Omega drivers both in my laptop and my two workstations. No problem with the drivers. In the past there were some other tweaked ATI drivers like Unian, NGO, Forsage, etc. Today the competition is rather weak. Some users prefer WarCats with CCC (need .Net framework). I prefer ol' good Omega drivers. Small, plain and run smoothly. 5/5

to jackhummer: 200/200 is terribly low (the core is underclocked??). The standard for R.9550 is 250/200 (in Europe and Asia it is preferred to describe DDR (Double Data Rate) memory clock in a bit different way - 250/400). Please mind that the GPU is RV350 or 360 - exactly the same as R.9600 (the core runs at 325). The thing is that the card can be locked to prevent oc (see this: http://www.techpowerup.c...verclocking/vidcard/107 - but be very careful with reflashing) or may need, Vmod (core) or better cooling (mem radiators). Sometimes the card can be so-so and nothing helps :-( Anyway, I own a Gigabyte 9550, and after some modifications it runs 450/580 (290 in America). What is interesting it is cooled passively.

zeus_hunt reviewed v2.6.83_7z on Dec 3, 2005

Does it have support for ATI motherboards with inbuilt graphics...basically...X200

eblade reviewed v2.6.83_7z on Dec 3, 2005

I'm not sure what's so different about the drivers, but the ATI Tray tool that is packaged with it is amazing. Every tweak you can imagine is included. Only beef I have with it is that it doesn't support as high of an overclock as my card does. (Radeon 9550 ocs to close to 430mhz chip and 250 ram speed, but the driver tool only gets up to about 375.. i have to use ATI Tools to get more than that)

yokozuna:
cool, that's awesome. i do still like ATITool, but not having to load more junk is good :D

I -think- the card is an ATI branded 9550. It's passive cooled, and I can run it at 420/250, anything much more than that, and the computer flips out on me. ATI Tool and the Omega Tray tell me there are artifacts at that high, but I can't see them, for sure.

So, no possibility any more to set the D3D colors (especially the GAMMA) and those of the Desktop seperately.

if they doint work for you, maybe your card is unsupported. there a few OEM cards that differ greatly from the ATI reference designs that have problems with Omegas, my old modded 9500 Pro couldnt run them without a million artifacts but ran ATI's Catalysts without a problem.

Been using these for 3 years now and Omegas are FAR superior to Catalysts and all other Cat variants. with any software release, there are the occasional bugs, but for the most part, these are FAR less buggy than officials. the IQ looks noticely better while giving you >= performance of officials. better quality and at least as good performance, generally less bugs/issues, packaged along with ATI Tray Tools which is a must for all ATI cards anyway. and since Omega is on the ATI beta driver test team, you know his stuff works. doesnt get better than these.

now...just waiitng on x64 Omegas. Rumored release of the x64 September Cats. we'll see soon enough.

ModderXManiac reviewed v2.6.42 on Jun 28, 2005

The Omega Drivers have been recognized by ATI to be the best modded Catalyst drivers on the 'net.

Alot of obsolete tweaks have been replaced by new ones to ensure maximum compatibility with the newest ATI hardware, while still enhancing the performance on older hardware. ATI tray tools has been added to replace Radlinker, great idea. Last, but not least, the file is a much smaller download, which kicks this up a notch in my books since I'm on DIALUP!

Great alternative to Catalyst, stable, really helps with the performance of my Radeon 9800 XT, and the nVidia Forceware Omega Drivers are great too, though they are well outdated, the drivers have almost tripled the performance of my geforce 5200.

The author really knows what he's doing. He is, afterall, a beta tester for ATI.

I'm never going back to Catalyst.

I think it's a great program for desktops, and use it with my Radeon 9600! However, I have mixed feelings about it's use on laptops.

I have tested it on a laptop with an ATI IGP 320. Quake III and Unreal Tournament 2003 ran noticeably faster than my laptop manufacturer's ATI drivers. But there were noticeable tradeoffs. I did experience poor performance with PowerDVD and WinDVD (e.g. choppiness). I even tried tweaking the settings and reinstalling those programs without any luck! I ditched the Omega drivers on my laptop and my DVD programs played without skipping a beat!

I don't necessarily believe that ATI is withholding drivers from the public for the sole purpose to deny performance enhancements. I believe it is it to maintain a good consumer experience.

Only the mirrors with the "updated" tag have the new set, get the drivers from them.
______________________

here's Omega's take on the drivers:

(10/01/04)

Well, I have a few surprises for you this time!

First, new Radeon Omega Drivers (v2.5.90) are available!

These are based on the ATI 8.07 Beta drivers, which incorporate some major performance improvements over previous drivers for cards with 256MB of ram, and some small improvements for the rest of the cards.

Second, a lot of changes have been made in this release, most of them enhancements and fixes, so PLEASE, take a look at the readme file in the downloads page BEFORE mailing me with questions, I'm really tired of getting questions that are already answered in there.

Third, the Omega Control Panel has changed and new stuff has been added, so if you have any questions about it, just take a look at the new "CP HELP" ATI section I designed, it explains most of the advanced settings.

Fourth, I'm proud to announce that this is the FIRST DRIVER SET IN THE WORLD to incorporate fully working controls for the new ATI "AI" feature, and great part is, there is no need to install CCC or .NET in order to use it. ATI won't be relasing drivers with AI support until Cat 4.10 and I guess other "people" will start releasing drivers with support for AI now that my drivers are out, oh well, let's see IF they manage to make it run without CCC... ;)

Fifth, I have excellent news for laptop users that had the video problem since Cat 4.6, take a look at the readme for the full info.

Enjoy!

Finally fixed the VMR9 slow fps issue. Also looks like there were a few desktop performance tweaks/fixes. Overall, a great set of optimized drivers.

I orginally switched to the omega drivers back in the day, because they fixed problems I had been having with the stock CATs.

This time is the first time that I have returned to the stock CAT's. I had so many problems with this release of the omega drivers..stuttering menu, problems in BF Vietnam...yuck.

Still...I will give them a decent rating for the old ones.

Works good for me. Improved graphic quality, even on the desktop, somewhat faster than the former drivers. Excellent work! Best of all: the variety of resolutions provided with these drivers.

Ummm these drivers are great but they were released 5-18-04. Almost a month ago. Little late.

So far, so good on my emachines m6805 laptop. Too bad ati is lame and won't allow driver updates for the mobile chipsets... good thing for drivers like this.

The Omega Drivers have always been the premiere drivers for gamers, after using them for the first time, I never went back to the original cats. 5/5 here =)
