Best ATI Graphics drivers?

[Kwaliti]

Any suggestions on ATI drivers, cus the new Catalyst drivers suck?

Certainly, you are BONED if you dare try and run Vista Catalyst drivers. the XP drivers are the best right now, and until after SP1 is released for Vista, I don't think the drivers will be getting any better.

Slowly but surely, they should improve, but until then >.>

I'm doomed, unless I get an nVidia card.

try OMEGA drivers, I don't see a difference between these and official ones, but some people love omega onez

The Nvidia drivers aren't much better, so it's really up to you.

I'm running one of the new ATI HD2600XT (the lower-budget but better-working DX10 card) and the drivers work great on XP Home, I can't say the same for Vista Home Premium though.

the nvidia ones i use by tweaks are us are pretty good, but i dont update them regularly like some people, usually once every 6 months, i mean if its not broken dont fix it right?

i hear DNA drivers are good too, but i suggest tweaks are us if they do a ATI one. the actual driver name is X-Treme G.

I love my ATI drivers so no complaints here.

Think about it, ATI is pumping an ASSLOAD of money into their drivers to make them Vista compatible. Along the way, the actual quality of the drivers will improve with all of that spending and research as well.

... tried Omega, tried WarCat, nothing, my FPS is so goddamn low (goes below 10 on certain occasions). My friend has completely identical hardware like me, and he has better FPS than me, and he runs on some ancient drivers, 6.14 or something like that.

I only wish ATi would pump a proverbial "ASSLOAD" of money into their Linux drivers.

 

[brad.dude03]

Yes, Linux always gets the short end of the stick from everyone

Except for hackers and the internet.

Yes, but for the other 99% of the world...
