Title: New graphics card... what driver?
Post by: Soulyss on September 13, 2007, 12:06:51 PM

Just got a new graphics card to replace my aging ATI 9800 AGP board.

New board is a ATI X1950Pro PCI-E.  Which version of the Cat's would I be looking @ using? I think the drivers are shipping with some sort of control panel software these days.. it is worth getting?  In past I've used Omega drivers but it's been awhile since I looked @ them either... thoughts?  opinions?

Thanks in advance.

I tried the cats that came with my X1950pro and they were producing some odd black-out transitions in AH2. Tried the latest, and i got a different odd black-out transition.

Someone suggested to use the NGO drivers. And they worked perfectly, and i got about 25-30% increase in framerates to boot!

Im using the 1.7.2 version, and it comes without the crappy new control panel too :)
