Which Drivers give the x1900xt the best performance?

Fingersniffer · Mar 8, 2006, 05:16 PM

I have seen many posts over the net having this debate and I was hoping someone here could provide a good reasoning over whatever drivers you choose to be better for the x1900 overall.

I am a gamer, I play BF2, and I am currently running the ATI Cat 6.2

I have no tried anything else yet as I'm trying to get a good answer before trying another set.

And the answer does not need to just apply to ATI drivers, they can also be Omega drivers etc.

Also, should I run the new ATI tool and have it control my fans etc and if yes, could someone please give a good tutorial on how to do so properly. I have no real intrest in OCing my x1900 as it runs anything on maxed settings without a problem and I dont care about getting a few more points in 3dmark06.

Well, you have to note that drivers perform differently on each and every system, regardless of the specs. My suggestion to you would be to try out the different driver options out there and see what you like best. I personally love the DHzp 6.2 set so far, but I've heard many great thing's about Omega's 6.2, as well. Like I said, you really just have to try them out and see which one you like better.
Good luck,

Your best bet would be with the latest 6.3s

6.3 have some small performance benefits in certain games like Cod 2

but i am hearing also some complaints about bad stability or graphic glitches in some titles so that some guys went back to 6.2

No complaints for me with the 6.3 and my current sollution which is not X1900 though
