zer0kewl is on a distinguished road

sorry to ask if its asked before?

but how do i get the same performance with omega drivers?
as with the standard ati catelyst?

are the any tools around that create's custom profiles for each game?
8x asf for cs for example
and 16x for quake 3?

tools to check for errors in xp maybe?
i just remember that i got more fps in pro
then in home edition xp

if had xp pro already license
and xp home came with my new pc!

So you want to get the same performance as ATI Catalysts, but with Omegas? Uninstall Omegas? Omega tweaks his drivers a specific way for IQ and stability..and sometimes a small (real small) performance loss can be felt.

As for profiles, a few programs out there can do it, but I don't know them off hand. I know that Rage3DTweak supports them though, but I believe Omega doesn't recommend using Rage3DTweak with his Omegas.. Kinda like countering his tweaks or something.

Omega's are not a performance set of drivers per say. They are designed for improved image quality. They do offer two OGL install options to choose from as well as including RadLinker and the ATI Tool for creating game profiles,overclocking and artifact testing. Also the 9500/9700/9800 soft mods are available during the install routine. I hope this helps
