How do I tweak my settings with the omega drivers?

I was scoring pretty low frames on half-life 2 (like, 20 fps at the big barn in the canals where g-man is) on my geforce 6800 regular, so I got the omega drivers, and it's around 30. but I also want to make it faster, I installed preformance, but it's no diffrent in speed over quality, and people tell me I Can unlock pipelines and other tweaks with these drivers. how do I do that?

don't use the omegas. they are based on the old 61.77s. Try something like the 66.93 officials or 71.20 betas.

you can unlock pipes with rivatuner:

do 71.20 drivers suffer from hl2 water looking like pee? and right now I am using 69.70, i belive they are called.

and I tried unlocking the pipelines, but I checked a box that was required, and it said it could permently damage my hardware, so I was afraid and stopped.

not sure about the 71.20, but 71.24 for sure.

any tweaking to pipelines, OCing, etc has risks. if you're not will to accept the consequences, don't do it.
