Graphic driver

Post by jemc »

ok i have a question about ATI radeon drivers.
which one do you recommend and which one do you have? i have Catalyst package and i don't quite know other drivers.
please help me with these drivers because i think Catalyst kinda sucks and i don't know which one to choose. oh yeah, that's probably because i have a sucky 9100 :cry:

Umm... There is only ONE official driver for ATI and thats the catalyst one. This keeps getting updated (around twice a month or so) so you have to keep this up to date.
The only other one I know are called Omega drivers. Some people claim (its generaly accepted) that these provide a better performance.

Edit: opps jemc knows the answers to his own problems. :D

Are there any unofficial drivers for nVidia chipsets that are better than the official ForceWare drivers?
