-----------------------------------------------------------
Halo: Combat Evolved

OMEGA 4.2 1024x768 Average frame rate=32.67fps
CAT 4.3 1024x768 Average frame rate=31.85fps
OMEGA 4.3 1024x768 Average frame rate=32.45fps

-----------------------------------------------------------
3DMark03

OMEGA 4.2 1024 x 768 4463 3DMarks
CAT 4.3 1024 x 768 4184 3DMarks
OMEGA 4.3 1024 x 768 4552 3DMarks

-----------------------------------------------------------
ChameleonMark

OMEGA 4.2 1024x768 glass= 175.676 fps, real= 184.34 fps, shiny= 175.573 fps, Average= 178.530 fps.
CAT 4.3 1024x768 glass= 170.565 fps, real= 176.714 fps, shiny= 171.642 fps, Average= 172.974 fps.
OMEGA 4.3 1024x768 glass= 169.694 fps, real= 178.828 fps, shiny= 171.642 fps, Average= 173.388 fps.

-----------------------------------------------------------
3DMark2001 SE Pro

OMEGA 4.2 3DMark Score 7304
CAT 4.3 3DMark Score 7287
OMEGA 4.3 3DMark Score 7369

-----------------------------------------------------------
Doom III Leaked Beta (Catalyst 4.3's ONLY)

CAT 4.3 1024x768 104.8 seconds = 28.5 fps
OMEGA 4.3 1024x768 102.4 seconds = 29.1 fps

-----------------------------------------------------------

As I excepted, the Omega 4.3's are on top. It appears that ChameleonMark told a drop in FPS with the Catalyst 4.3 set. But other than that, they are rock solid. They are all pretty close to each other, so I don't see much of a performance boost. But, the Omega 4.3's do offer the best performance out of the 3.

This isn't an official benchmark or anything, it's just benchmarks I did to see the fps difference between the 3 drivers. Please no flaming or this thread will be closed! Only discuss what this thread about. Thank You
