ATI compliment Driverheaven and Omega Drivers

Zardon · Nov 9, 2003, 06:10 PM

We have worked hard behind the scenes with ATI to bring you the best driver support, the most exciting competitions, interviews and exclusive content we possibly can. Its been a good year for both ATI and Driverheaven!

For those of you who havent yet seen the exclusive pictures of the ATI booth at Microsoft PDC take a trip to this thread and you will see the Driverheaven quote they used on their banners:

Performance, features, stability and quality, Catalyst 3.8 has them all, and more importantly it has them all in abundance - www.hardwareheaven.com

Driverheaven's many high quality articles alongside Omegadrives fantastic third party drivers have featured in many magazines the world over, here are some of the things ATI have had to say about us in magazines and at events ...... and the support we give to ATI and their customers.

"We have a great relationship with DriverHeaven. This can be seen by the many exclusive interviews ATI has provided this website. The quality of their content and staff is a great asset to the ATI enthusiast community. Keep up the good work Zardon, Veridian and the rest of the staff"

"ATI supports the enthusiast community wholly. Omega Drivers are in fact a good example of ATI’s user community at its best. What they are in principle are CATALYST drivers with different settings enabled via registry keys and other such methods. This provides users an alternative to ATI’s CATALYST default settings. While there are a few different modification drivers out in the community our relationship with the creator of the Omega Drivers is of the highest working standard. The author of these drivers is part of the CATALYST beta driver testing team, and also in direct contact with ATI. In fact we would go so far as to say that if a user chooses to go the mod driver route, they go with the Omega Drivers."

Id personally like to thank all of our members who come to this site and make up what has to be one of the greatest and most helpful online communities anywhere in the tech world. Since we have opened we have expanded our network to three dedicated servers with plans to increase this even more in the future, and our forum has grown to over 48,000 members. Our hit rate is in excess of 25 million a month and we eat about 4 terrabytes of data in the same period of time.

Thanks to everyone for all their support !
