I'm glad these driver's are released since I despise the CCC its just way too sluggish for me I guess.

My only problem is that I can't get the ATITools to work I try an open them and it says "Unable to retrieve information from BIOS! Please report tp developer about board!" I don't get it

, I wish there was something I could do.

Mmm... City of Heroes/Villains fixes from the 6.2 cats, with much better stability and better performance. And still no CCC. Thanks Omega, you're still the man.

~~bobbytomorow~~ · Feb 21, 2006, 07:07 AM

I've been using Omega Drivers awhile now and they are THE SHIT! Thanks man.

Nyana · Feb 21, 2006, 08:39 AM

Nice to get another Release from you .. will try them this afternoon.

MEABeemer · Feb 21, 2006, 10:00 AM

ALLRIGHT!!!
THANX OMEGA!!!

Now I can finally make full use of my X1900 XTX!

Just one question Omega!
Does it matter if I use Ray Adams' original "ATI Tray Tools 1.0.5.824" or the one included with your package?!

C U L8R!!!

Dyre Straits · Feb 21, 2006, 10:09 AM

Great news!!

Omega, just want you to know how much your efforts through all these years has meant. Thanks again for your time and contributions to all of us.

I don't know what Omega's opinion on that is, but I've been doing this for a while. It saves me having to reinstall ATT if I opt to use a new Catalyst release for a while. As far as I can tell, the only Omega-specific thing about his ATT version is his custom profiles, and I tend to use my own profiles anyway.

Of course, if there's something about the Omega ATT package that I'm missing, please let me know so I can take it into account.

Dalton Sleeper · Feb 21, 2006, 02:08 PM

I tried to overclock my GFX again, never reached over 570 on memory before but now it got to 610 after many 2MHz steps, then i got stripes of all colors all over the screen.
Also the find max didn't work when showing memory in DDR. My memory was running at 1120 but when hitting the button it said 1000 at the bottom at the 3d window, then nothing happened.

Same here, I got a X1600 Mobility (Chipset-code 0x71c5) and it doesn't get recognized by ATITools.

To what email-address should I report this?

Apart from that: Thank you VERY much for the new Omega-Drivers!

Kind regards,
Richie

During Installation I answered that I have a IGP graphic card by mistake. Will this be a problem? What is changed ?

Overclocking is disabled in ATT when you select IGP/Laptop, this was done to prevent lockups and non-functional ATT with those chips, if u need the overclocking just re-run the installer and select NO when asked.

I will be more specific on next release to point this out.

Well, that, and I also disable the option to play with the memory timmings in on the video card (to prevent unskilled people from damaging their cards) and a new option that I disable OC for IGP chips, as noted before.

p0ly4000 · Feb 21, 2006, 08:21 PM

help, cant use extended desktop, only clone since Omega ATI Drivers 3.8.205 & Omega ATI Drivers 3.8.221 and latest ATT 1.0.5.824!!

The MS option of extended displays doesnt work and the Omega-extended-display button doesnt work, cant push the button!

ATi x800XT PE, Dell 1702FP LCD, TV Universum (S-VHS), Intel P4, MSI 865PE Neo2-Platinum, XP Pro/SP2

..other peoples have the same problem too (google)!

P.S.: Have pure Omega driver's installed with cp, no origin ATi stuff was/is installed!

Spellbot 5000 · Feb 21, 2006, 10:58 PM

I just installed these yesterday, and they've generally been great. The only problem I'm having is about 1 in 10 times I turn on my PC, the monitor goes blank just before XP loads; every other time it loads fine. I've never had this happen before with previous Catalysts, so it must be this new set.
