Omega driver install?

Silverfox · Mar 29, 2003, 11:39 PM

When I install the omega drivers in my system I will be installing ATI products for the first time. I presently have a nvidia Geforce and will be replacing it with the 9700 pro in a few days. I will completely delete all components of the NV product prior to the installation of the new ati card and Omega 3.2 drivers install, but my question is will the Omega 3.2 drivers install a control panel in my system, or do I have to download this separately, and if yes, which one is compatible with the Omega drivers and where do I find it? Thanks for any replys!

the control panel is included in the drivers, so you only need to download one file, altho its a lot bigger

. if youre coming from a nvid card i'd suggest a format b4 you put the radeon in, otherwise there may be fragments or missed files which may interfere with your new card.

Thanks Rilkes, but where do I find the format your suggesting and where do I find it and download it?

lol, by the format, i mean a fresh install of windows. eg: a clean, formatted hard drive. this will ensure that there are no conflicts that leftover (nvidia) files may cause that could hinder the performance of your new card.

ahh if only formatting was as easy as a quick download
