    i just installed 4.6 and so far i think its the best ati driver. cause i gained 60 points in 3dmark03, 5fps in ut04, about 7 in call of duty and far cry seems to run smoother. try it :good:

    Speaking of Omega version, Omegacorner.com just became OmegaDrivers.net. And the Cat 4.6 drivers are now available!

    yeah... hows omega drivers? i installed it once and it wont let me turn on fastwrites thats why i havent mess with it since.
    will the omega drivers make my gaming faster (fps) but lower my image quality or is it the other way around?

    To turn fast write on with the omega drivers:

    - Go in the control panel of your video card (right click on the desktop, go to settings)
    - Click on advanced
    - Go to the smartgart tab
    - click on retest all: it should be on now
    - Reboot
    - Go in the BIOS
    - Enable fast write
    - When you boot in windows, go back and see if the changes were made

    EDIT: Personnally I don't see a difference as far as fps or image quality go. But they are more stable and if you have problems with the official cat drivers, the omega ones will more often than not solve them.
