they work really well, fast performers, seem stable as well, recommended.

Zardon;before I commit my 56K Modem to a 15 Meg download can you please give me any differences you have noted from the XP 094 drivers. I am still playing with the 094's and these are the most tweakable set ATI has sent out yet; Since you are giving them the thumbs up OK I will download; Just curious as what to look for or are they just the 094's cleaned up?

They gave me a 200 pt bump in glexess. I'm pretty sure I had everything set the same. But don't hold me to that. They do seem smoother than the original catalysts from ati in the island demos. Those are what i grade the drivers with after I install. Haven't played with them yet, i'm going to do some jedi knight 2 after i post this.

Oh, I do have WinME (just to let you know) but noone posts over there.

heh the 7.72s are the 6094s people

they are the reference version of the drivers for oems which means everythings been made neutral so that the 3rd party card makers can optimize them for their cards on a company by company basis.

So its the 6094 Cats just like yall already have....just without ATis specific settings

I know they are reference drivers, but I don't notice any real difference in quality and they are a bit faster without ATI giving them their suggestions in fine tuning. I think (or at least in my mind) they work a bit better than the "ATI" version. I think i'm sticking with them until something better comes a long.

Something better like Omega/Plutonium drivers?

Funkybuffalo · Jun 19, 2002, 04:00 AM

Well kinda...I have WinME (no action in that room) and usually run Omega's drivers. With him on a break-of-sorts, it could be a while till I have better drivers.
