I just recieved my Asus Radeon 9800XT. This sounds stupid but which drivers do I install for it?

1) The ones that came with the CD
2) The latest catalyst drivers from ATI website
3) Omega drivers

Thanks

Personally, I 'd go with the latest Catalysts from the Ati website. Use that as a starting point and experiment with others after that if you like, but for me the stock Cat's are great.

First install everything from the CD, otherwise you will likely miss out on the DVD player functions and other little goodies.

THEN upgrade to the latest drivers from ATI.

It's a two step process but usually ensures that you have everything you need.

Also rememember to have the latest mbo and chipset drivers installed to avoid unrelated hassles.

That's my view.
