I just got a sapphire radeon 9800 pro and im wondering if i should install the omega drivers. i am not going to overclock my card and i dont have the cooling for it. I mainly play cs, cs:s, and other hl based games. also ut2004 sometimes. so im wondering if i should just stick with the offical ati drivers that i have now or go with omega drivers. and if i do go with omega i need to completly uninstall the offical ones right?
 
I upgraded to Omega drivers myself last week with my 9800 Pro, got a few marks higher in the various 3dmark benches. Go ahead and install the, you just need to uninstall the ATI control panel if you have ATI drivers installed.
 
just the control panel i need to uninstall? or all 4 things i have listed here it says ati software uninstall utility, ati cataylist control center, ati control panel, ati display driver

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.

naw, theres no difference. i made the switch from cats 4.9 to omegas 4.9 and noticed no 3dmark increase, no game fps increase, and certainly no oc increase....
 
one of the main points of omega drivers are for image quality improvements.. I def notice a dif..
 
On my X800Pro I noticed no difference in anything whatsoever with the Omega drivers.
