Omega 3.8.421 Problem?

kershner · Dec 2, 2007, 12:30 AM

Hey, I have a GeCube Radeon 9250 PCI card. Not the best by any standards, but it gets the job done. I've been playing Painkiller and Black and White 2 and WoW with pretty decent performance. I wanted to try out the Omega drivers however, so I installed them.

After installing, I run dxDiag to find that my Display 1 (Radeon card), does not give me the option to enable Direct3D...anyone know how to fix this? I really wanna try out the optimizations on the Omega cards, but if I have to switch back to Catalyst then so be it I guess.

maybe redown load and install after drivercleaner in safe mode?

you need to get catalyst 6.5 & below

Previous Catalyst™ Drivers for Windows XP - For Radeon® 9250 and earlier dunno why 6.11 is there too

it's a dx8 card right, so everything pre dx9 became unsupported after cat 6.5, you'll need to go get omega 6.5, not the latest omega, & you should then be fine
