Help with Omegas!

mohair27 · Mar 24, 2005, 12:05 AM

I was finally able to install the latest Omega drivers after a week of trying on my new system, but when I right click to go to the display properties all the tabs show but I can't adjust the AA and AF. There is no way of adjusting this, the advanced 3D tab is there but no adjustments for the settings. HELP!!!!!

can you take a screenshot and post it?

No I can't I've uninstalled the Omega Drivers and went back to the Cats. But I would love to have the Omegas working. The Catalyst drivers work fine, but I can't stand the crappy Anti Aliasing.

what do you mean?

mohair27 · Mar 24, 2005, 05:41 AM

I mean the official ATI drivers work fine except for the Anti Aliasing, its not up to my standards.

Judas · Mar 24, 2005, 05:44 AM

the anti aliasing of both drivers are identical.... (we bit lost)

how are they different?

Mind you not all (older) cards support AA. What is your card type?

mohair27 · Mar 24, 2005, 09:56 PM

I have a Connect3D Radeon x850XT Platinum Edition, I always had great AA on Omega drivers but not the ATI ones. Is it possible my computer is not seeing the card or maybe I installed it wrong?

Here's what I did when I installed my new card,

Downloaded Omega Drivers

Removed Old Ati Display drivers fom Control panel

Rebooted into Safe Mode Ran Drivercleaner

Shut down computer and removed x300SE Card

Put in the x850

Started Windows cancelled all the windows auto installers

installed Omegas rebooted and then there was no way of changing the AA and AF settings

I also tried to reinstall Omegas several times and got the same results. But I do notice I have some conflicts:

These are not conflicts, it looks to me like these are simply the same devices/same connections. It's normal for them to use same resources, so there is nothing wrong here.

Since Omega has not released any drivers since 5.1, I would suggest you stick with newer official releases or with other modded releases, such as NGO, which have released drivers based on official 5.3 cats. There may simply be some issue with devices detection in Omegas.

Also, have you tried installing anything besides Omega 5.1-based, such as 4.12-based?

I'm going to take my computer into the shop, nothing I've tried seems to work. Thanks for your help everyone.
