9700 hacks

[Lowen B. Holde]

I have heard of two possible different hacks for a 9700. One is via
the Omega drivers that takes to a 9800 and the other supposedly takes
you two a 9700 Pro. Anyone care to explain what these hacks do?
Worth doing? Tkx.

Basically it activates the "hidden" optimization in the Catalyst drivers
which are available the card "recognized" as a 9800. That is how this hack
is possible by fooling the driver into believing that your card is a 9800.
It sure worth every hassle, as there is 7~10% of performance gain in AA&AF
scenarios.

Any word on when Omega's next set of drivers based off the Cat 3.5s
will be available?

I have a 9700->9800 hack for Cat3.5, I will sent it to you if you want it.

Wasn't that hack or optimization incorporated into the Cat 3.4 anyway? Which
is why the 3.4 had been expected so impatiently by the community?
