Omega driver question

zapoqx · Nov 4, 2007, 02:26 AM

So I've been around for a while, but never really posted. So hi and I guess onto the main topic at hand:
I've used Omega Drivers before, but I decided to try using it now on my HD 2900 XT Diamond (The 1GB gDDR4 version). The problems I came across:

The video wouldn't install automatically. I had to install it by driver location.
The Multimedia side of it I guess would be the avivo or WDM or something isn't installing no matter what I do so I assume it isn't in the drivers.
When trying to open the ATI Tray Tools, it says "Unable to retrieve information from BIOS! Please report to devloper about your board!" - I'm not sure if it is talking about my Motherboard or my video card, but if it is talking about the mother board, I don't understand as I had Omega installed on here on an older video card and it never had an issue. So I have to assume it being the video card. If so, I don't know how to report what is needed for that situation if that is the case.

For Number 2, the only thing I can think of is that I need to install the ATI Control Center to get it running.

So what is it that I need to do to get them fully working?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I forgot that maybe I should say I am trying with the newest Omega Drivers that have 7.10 Cat as base.
EDIT2: I just found out the cause to the ATI Tray Tools issue and apparently, HD 2xxx is not supported. I did overclocking with the ATI official drivers before so would that mean that I may have a performance hit?

Greetings!

First of all, the card is new enough that 'maybe' it's not included in the actual supported video cards. You should post the Hardware ID so that someone can check that out for you.

Well... I guess I'll post the hardware ID then and I hope this is right:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9400&SUBSYS_25521002&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9400&SUBSYS_25521002
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9400&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9400&CC_0300

For now, I think I'm gonna go back to the ATI official drivers cause I just tried playing something and it rather disturbed me that the fans didn't turn on in the video card which made me freak a bit.
