What happened? My 9800 Pro works fine.
Although, I must say, some kind of option must have been reset... because I
went through an episode of failed fullscreen attempts. There's just
something with my machine, certain games have problems with it, and just
won't let the games run full screen, of even run. So I have to tweak config
files, or play it safe, until I finally get it how I want.
Fortuantely half-life 2 has a safe mode, and i just setup the video options
from this, and things are back to how they were.

Check out #3 for the cool extras:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Based on the Catalyst 4.12 Beta drivers.
* New Radlinker installation method, now it should install correctly
every time.
* Fixed gamma issues with color control panel.
* WMV acceleration is now off by default, you can turn it on in the
Options panel. (for Laptops with issues-pluvious)
* New quick shortcut for Radlinker, just right click your desktop and
go directly
to all the Advanced 3D settings.
* Fixed Standby/Suspend/Hibernation bug.
* Added a lot of new resolutions for wide screen monitor/dfp users.
* Fixed the Forced Anisotropic settings, now they should not reset to
Performance mode.
* Removed the special Counter Strike OpenGL from the package, now that
CS:S is available,
this is no longer necessary.
* Fixed some uninstall issues, now the drivers should completely be
removed if you select
to do so.
**************
Important Notes:
1. Well, at last, the fix for the dreaded overlay video on some
laptops bug has been found.
The cause IS NOT the ATI drivers or any of my settings, the cause
is a hardware bug, more
specifically a BIOS bug. In the testing, many people already
updated their Sager notebooks
with a new BIOS provided by Sager and the video problem is GONE!
So I encourage you to
go to your manufacturer's web page and see if a new bios update has
been issued for your
laptop, and if not, e-mail the manufacturer so they can rush out a
fix for this.
2. CCC will work with the Omega Drivers, but is NOT recommended that
you install it, all
the functions found in CCC are already included with RadLinker
Omega Edition or will
be included in a near future as this new CP project develops.
3. Now the Omega Drivers will use a built-in, special RadLinker
version ("Advaced 3D" tab)
with the following features:
> Uses NO resources.
> Doesn't require .NET to work.
> New settings for both D3D and OGL.
> Golbal controls to set both D3D and OGL in one pass.
> Automatic Per-application profiles.
> Integrated Overclocking.
> Desktop and Game Color/Gamma control.
> Game Color/Gamma control for profiles.
> Temporal AA settings (T2 & T3) and Temporal AA Threshold control.
> Trilinear filtering can be forced for Anisotropic filtering.
> Catalyst AI support.
This new CP was made in conjunction with ChrisW, maker of
Radlinker, as an exclusive
feature for the Omega Drivers and we will keep adding features in
future releases.
4. Since RadLinker is now a vital part of the Omega Drivers, it will
not be an option
to select during setup anymore, it will now automatically look for
and uninstall ANY
previous version and replace it with the new one.
**************
REMINDERS:
A- If you have the normal ATI drivers installed, uninstall the ATI
Control Panel
BEFORE upgrading to these drivers, the Omega Drivers already have
the CP
integrated and another CP will cause conflicts or other problems.
B- There is no need to uninstall ANY previous drivers (ATI or OMEGA)
when
installing these, the new ones will overwrite any previous
settings, but if
you still want to uninstall them completely, is ok.
C- In Windows 2k/XP, ALWAYS disable DDC in the ATI "Displays/Monitor"
CP after
installing drivers to be able to use ALL the refresh rates and
resolutions
your monitor supports, also this is the best way to avoid the 60Hz
RR bug.
D- The WDM drivers for VIVO and AIW cards are not included, but they
can be
downloaded separately from a link in my drivers page.
E- The Radeon cards do support FastWrites and they will work with it
on
(on some machines), but it is not recommended, there is NO SPEED
gain
when using FW, and this option will affect your PC's stability a
LOT,
most game crashes and problems are because FW is enabled.
F- Install the included Multires utility to have access to ALL the
available
resolutions in the Omega Drivers, standard Windows doesn't show all
of them.
G- Always uninstall the previous version of RadLinker before
installing the new
one included in the latest Omega Drivers.
H- After installing the new drivers and rebooting, if your desktop is
SLOW and
games won't run, is because AGP acceleration has been disabled by
Windows, in
order to fix this you MUST re-install the latest AGP chipset
drivers for your
Mother Board (this also includes laptops). After rebooting check
the Advanced
SmartGart Options in the Omega Start Menu and see if at least
AGP/PCI read are
both ENABLED, if all of them are enabled, the better, but some MBs
doesn't
support AGP/PCI write functions, if all still disabled, just click
on "Retest
All" and press OK to restart.
I- If you are using an Omega soft-mod and you are experiencing
crashes, black
screens, artifacts or the "check board effect" during game play,
run the new
included Driver Swapper utility and select the Normal driver, the
reason is
that your card is not accepting the soft-mod due to
broken/incompatible
hardware.
J- See Omega FAQ on my site for further questions.
I don't recommend the use of ANY external tweakers with my drivers
(specially
Rage3D Tweaker), as they override my special settings and will make my
work
useless. The only time I recommend a tweaker is when you have a
specific
problem with a specific tweak and need to change it in order to make
the drivers
work correctly. Also if you use a tweaker for overclocking, FSAA,
Gamma or
Aniso settings, is just fine, but you'll be better off using the
integrated ATI
CP for that (which is ok by me if you change any setting in it).
If you have any problems with this drivers please go to my webpage and
look in
the ATI help section for answers. If still have problems look for the
drivers
thread in www.driverheaven.net forums and let me know what is going
on.
If you happen to find a new tweak or fix for a specific game or many
games
and it proves that it works then drop me an E-Mail (don't post it in
the
forums), I'll make sure credit will be granted to that person in this
INFO file.
IMPORTANT: Don't bother ATI about these drivers as they are
unsupported by them!

They killed OpenGL in my case. I ran Driver Cleaner and went back to
my Omega 2567s and all is well. I may try again, running Driver
Cleaner 1st next time to see if that works. Never had any problems
with upgrading his drivers before this.. The 9500->9700 softmod works

Quick follow up. Removed drivers and ran Driver Cleaner in Safe Mode,

seems great except I am missing a row of tabs in Control Panel and

Did you install Multi-Res with it? I use ReForce which is similar, and
had to knock those refresh rates down from 120 to 100. That was in

They also include the 9800SE softmod plus from what I can see they
seem to have fewer problems most notably with updating to a newer

Some but not all 9800SEs with 4 pipelines can be made to run like
9800(pro)s with the full 8 pipelines. With an Arctic cooler, mine runs
as faster than XT.

Actually I have it now. The problem was that I had skipped the
Radlinker Install, and without it those property tabs aren't
available. Did a (re) Install of Radlinker and all is well!

Simple. They provide an outlet for compulsive tinkerers whose main goals in

It's actually the opposite, the drivers are already set up with his
recommended settings. If you want to make an ass of yourself at least try
to learn at least a hint of what you're blabbering about first, so you won't

Upon installing Omega's drivers I noticed a 10fps gain in Doom 3 than ATI's
drivers gave (Same release too, 4.10 i think)
I'm pretty settled on Omega now. The latest release based on the 4.12b is
great too. Sure I never tried ATI's 4.12b this time... but I'm sure the
results will be much the same as they were for the 4.10s. Omega will be
better, or at least the same.

And the Omegas are optimised for image quality not frame rate, which
is an extra bonus.
