Where do you get omega drivers? Are they better? I have a 9800 pro 128 all in wonder, will they work on this?

I personaly have quit using the Omegas.

Reasons...in my machines' case FR and image clarity appear better when I use the Cats.

Also....appears my registry seems less cluttered with the Cats.

I would assume that depending on ones' machine configuration driver performance would be dependant on that fact alone.

Using 9800Pro here with 128 vid mem.

Now shows 128.8 with the Cat 4.7s.

Also...a word to the wise.....If it ain't broke...don't fix it.
If you're maxed out on FR now...depending on monitor refresh etc. changing drivers isn't going to help...so I would suggest not cluttering up your system with useless video driver links.

Overlag, I feel I gave a pretty good Overview on the Omegas in my post above!

As always, not everything works for everyone!  Use what works the best for you.  Thankfully there are choices out there.

Good Flying,

With stock Cat drivers I can alt-tab out of any game or program. With Omegas I can't , games will crash/lockup/create rainbow colors, any version. Go figure.
