They should, I have a 9700pro and saw an improvement in games and IQ.

Is it that noticeable ?
Since I also have 9700Pro I might as well try the Omega ones

I'm not a big fan of Omegas, I would sooner stick with the official drivers.

They usually give me better fps (not by a big margin) but there is one
problem with them that I'm having with each and every build
Every time I use omega's drivers my computer starts up slower ,when I
enter my windows account the start menu is unusable for a biger period
of time and the hard drive is more active at startup !
Guess I'll just try the official Cats this time around (I'm curently at
5.11)

I'm using the official CCC 5.12's and when it first loaded after the
reboot it took about 5 minutes for my system to settle down but after
that no problems. Since then it boots normally not any quicker but
pretty normal. My games seem to have a little nicer IQ and I picked up a
few frames in OpenGL. D3D is the same as it's always been, great. No
60Hz bug for this guy. I run at 1024x768@85Hz and it runs sweet. Radeons
suck at anything else.

Yes,I know about the usual system tests that happen each time new cats
are installed but this prob with Omega's happens everytime I boot my
system (

I'm running 5.12's, CP only version (CCC scares me). Runnning fine. I
picked up a smidge of performance in 3Dmark05.

I don't actually notice it in games - no change at all, but more
importantly, no problems. Running an X800 Pro. My x1800xt arrives
tomorrow, along with my 4000+ San Diego processor, MB, etc.

Where is the CP only version of the 5.12 cats?

Don't drool on all that lovely kit and short something out! Hope it
works okay and gives you something to play with over Christmas.

Where is the CP only version of the 5.12 cats?

Me too - I tried the CCP with .NET 2.0 with VERY bad results. I'll wait
until I can get the CP only version
