What do Omega drivers have that 'normal' drivers dont? Have you noticed a difference?

Haven't a clue mate . I needed some drivers for a secondhand card that came with no disc . Searched around and found Guru3d . Read a bit about the Omega drivers and thought they would do . They came with a few handy tools like MultiRes and Ati Tray tool . So far they seem to work fine , tried the ones for Radeon and Navida .

I used to use the Omega drivers a lot.

But...... they actually scored less in benchmark tests and although they did actually work fine I could discern no difference in performance (talking games here primarily) between them and the official video drivers from ATI and Nvidia.

Blimey Alf, we going back a coupla years here but if I search the old grey matter, yes, I believe that was the one area where they scored.

Definitely richer graphics as I remember.

Whether or not you could get the same effects through tweaking Windows and Monitors settings, I know not.

Summing up, I'd say Omega drivers work, they may possibly give you an improvement in a small way but they really ain't nothing to get too excited about.
