The Catalyst Omega driver provides a total overhaul, including a new built-in downsampling tool called VSR, as well as ironing out a host of bugs and improving the performance of AMD graphics cards across the board.
Key to the Omega drivers is optimisations to many hardware configurations which should boost efficiency and, AMD claims, provide up to 19% better performance on dedicated graphics cards than the previous driver release, Catalyst 14.11.2, and a massive 29% boost in performance for systems sporting AMD APUs.
To keep this short AMD will release the new omega drivers shortly
The AMD Omega Catalyst drivers are expected to be available to download shortly.

The Omega driver is coming from AMD direct? I had not heard of this, man I must be out of the loop.

Sounds cool though, cannot wait to try it.

Ahhh... remember in the early days when Radeon 9600s, 9700s, 9800s were ruling the roost? Omega drivers were making tweaked drivers for cards like those but then stopped doing them around the X800 series. Not sure why they stopped but I think i heard AMD was giving them shit for tweaking their drivers so they stopped. Last driver package they ever done was Catalyst 4.8

Omegadrivers.net is still there, and while it doesnt do much of anything anymore theres just a crappy frontpage that shows nothing driver updates.


I wonder if AMD decided to bring these guys onboard?

I used them, Im not sure if they were any better then ATi's own official drivers but a lot of people praised Omega drivers.

Just hearing the name alone takes me back to the days of windows XP and when I used to spend nights playing L4D and TF2

I imagine a lot of performance could be gained if you remove all of the compatibility code and axe the driver customizations for titles to make them look prettier. I think their claims are plausible but it probably applies to very specific titles that got little attention from AMD.

Speculative or not there is a pile of bad news over here including this.

They did, however, also test for themselves and had this to say:
Quote:2
In our own testing, performed by our resident hardware reviewer Steve, we noted significant gains on high-end GPUs in a number of titles including BioShock Infinite and Metro Redux. However in some games, even those in AMD's Gaming Evolved program, there was no performance improvement at all: Watch Dogs, Battlefield 4, Sleeping Dogs, Tomb Raider and Crysis 3 are regularly seen in our hardware benchmarks, and recorded the same performance as the previous driver.

Let's hope they don't get put back a month, and then another month, and then another... Such is the case with drivers to fix things these days.

Also I don't trust a tester called Steve. He needs to be called Max, or Sebastian or something with pazaz.

This is real, but AMD has changed the NDA, so we can't report on it yet. Apparently some sites "forgot" the updated date.

Fucking guys named Steve, always assholes.

AMD needs to get their software game together, its been far to long since they came through on anything software related, its not that their drivers are bad, but they have been slow as crap to make anything new happen, and some truly awesome ideas are held down for to long and forgotten.

nope, not 3rd party. Its their own thing. Though I dont know why they called it 'omega driver' most of the enthusiast community knows where the name originated, but I guess AMD took it because it wasnt copyrighted and everyone knows omega drivers were tweaked drivers from back in the day so it only makes sense to bring the name back

The driver itself can never be "3rd party", it's always the original AMD code. You cannot make any changes to it once it's been compiled (and that is the only state in which anybody can download it). I understand that some of the more experienced "3rd party" hardware developers might be able to make several enhancements to it, but there's no way you can obtain such material (in form of a codebase snapshot), unless you're working at AMD.
What guys at Omega did was simple re-configuration (using installation *.INF and *.XML files, which is not something that can make a big difference in regards to 2D/3D/GPGPU performance). This technic is common with OEM, and is basically a way that you can configure your SKU to better support things like eDP Link Training or Non-EDID Mode, stuff that helps with compatibility and not, you know, the compute power.

This driver has nothing to do with the KillerSneak who was doing the Omega drivers. These are Catalyst Omega (Alfa and the Omega?), probably signifying a new era of drivers.

Btw, cool we'll get VSR on AMD cards as well. All the usual 3rd party hacks don't work anymore with latest drivers and since NVIDIA released it for their GTX 900 series, i guess there is no point in buying GTX 970 just yet. Overclocked HD7950 still has plenty of grunt for 1080p, VSR will give me enhanced visuals in older games and potentially we'll get some extra boost. Bring it on AMD.

Let's hope they don't get put back a month, and then another month, and then another... Such is the case with drivers to fix things these days.

Also I don't trust a tester called Steve. He needs to be called Max, or Sebastian or something with pazaz.

you son of a bitch, leave us steves out of this!


also, looking forward to the VSR/resolution scaling.

So I suspect you think the the open source radeon drivers (not fglrx) for linux are not done by a third party?
http://www.x.org/wiki/radeon/
I wasn't even thinking about Linux while writing that post (for a lot of reasons, really). Everything that I said applies only to Catalyst for Windows, since it's the primary product and everything new and gaming-related has historically been put into this branch first.
By the way, do you honestly think AMD cares about bringing the Omega series software on *NIX in the nearest future? My guess is that they'll just leave their customers with current FOSS solutions (Radeon SI and R600 those are, I believe).
