Best ATI Drivers

Duncan · Dec 27, 2005

Im currently using the latest ATI Catylyst drivers, the official ones. Before i built my own PC a few days ago (xmas pressy), i ran the OMEGA drivers on my 9600pro. I know the omega drivers have optimisations in the catylyst center etc, and this is good as i myself have no idea whatsoever on customizing these drivers (officials).

Id just like to know everyones opinion on the best drivers out there.

EDIT:
I also earlier found out that my gfx card and sound card are on the same IRQ. How much of a performance issue is this, as i have no idea how to go about changing it.

well eastcoasthandle has posted this post quite a few times so he obviously believes quite strongly that IRQ sharing is bad for video cards:

I personally have no idea but lucky for me there's no sharing here.

As far as drivers I just use regular catalyst and OC with ATITool.

Thanks for that link, im gonna try looking around the BIOS, if not ill move the PCI Sound Card around a bit.

Anyone else got any opinions on drivers?

EDIT: Theres an option in my BIOS for IRQ's, but it only goes from IRQ1-IRQ15, all of these are set to PCI DEVICE, IRQ16 is whats being shared.
