OG Driver lineup 5.1 - Cat, DNA, Omega and uniAN go head to head

Kesomir · Feb 6, 2005, 01:49 AM

Online Gamers proudly displays it's latest ATi Driver Lineup

This time we've been able to grant the requests for addding the uniANs to the list.

So, Catalyst 4.12, Catalyst 5.1, DNA 5.1, Omega 5.1 and uniAN 5.1 go head to head this edition.

feel free to post comments on the article asking for clarification or to request anything for the next lineup.

While people understandably have passionate views relating to their favourite drivers please keep this thread civil. If you feel the need to let rip please do so via comments on the article itself rather than here.

Um I think they should wait on Omegs 5.1 drivers he poll them because video problems with that set. On his site he going release them later on. There no down links for them. He fixing new release right now not sure. Thats what I get from his site so far.

I'd love to see OpenGL stuff in the mix too. We all know ATi is strong in D3D as it is. Any chance on adding that?

Pretty cool. Even more confirms the fact that Omega 4.12s are simply the best driver's available today.

Yeah we're planning on adding a Doom 3 benchmark soon (possibly for the next article if I get my act together).

Article has been updated with the new Omega 5.1 release.

The scales of your charts are highly exadurated 8 looks like 1000 lol....
You need to use a lesser scale

Don't think there was this time, although we've had problems trying to test past uniAN releases because of install issues.

That problem should be fixed in the Public Beta that was released on DNA-drivers.. (labled 3.7.5.2 but it's just a 3.6.5.1a and if i get to it ill release the update tomorrow)

Looks like an interesting article. I really like CCC otherwise id probably give these a shot.

Chikitta · Feb 7, 2005, 03:15 PM

You can actually get the CCC to work?

I never had install issue's with CCC and while it looks pretty, I still prefer the old style CP

Yeah the old style CP looks better anyway, but I've only got the control center to install once.

Would anyone like us to add another set of modified drivers to the next article (the uniANs were added this time)? I'm not sure how popular other driver sets are, so if enough people are interested we'll be happy to include more drivers in the next article.
