Why use the plutonium xp 8.1 drivers over the official ATI drivers?

Monsoons02 · Oct 22, 2002, 03:28 AM

I've been searching through various posts and I can't really find good information on these drivers. Why should I use them over the official ATI drivers?

Update: Should I install these, then install the newest ATI patch? Or just use these until a new version comes out?

Well beacuse they are tweaked, optimized and normally faster then the normal ATI drivers, but plut 8.1 is based on 6166 which is an "old" driverset comparing to the latest 6193. IMO the official beta 6193 drivers are faster and better the plut 8.1, but maybe Cyborg will release a new plutonium set based on 6193 drivers, that would be cool.

Well, I use 6193, they work nearly good as PlutsXP 8.1 for me - when Cyborg tweaks them, then we will see...
