Can anyone please provide a link for the Omega drivers that are used with the Fire GL T2 GPU? I would like to try them but i cannot find them.

Thanks..

I tried to install the normal ones a while ago and had pretty bad results.

a flickering LCD problem and a lack of any type of acceleration.

Hi

I have A31 with Omega driveres..I compared results..with Omega drivers speed is bigger about 10%

No problems with my 32MB ATI 7500.

what about the one originated from IBM website.?
cannot compete with Rage3d or Omega drives?

one on ibm's site, to my experience, is just the ATI one with a few superficial label changes

i remember that with Omega drivers,
i have read some thread here before, it has dissipate more heat for GPU and ATi. compare to IBM's ati driver.

I'm using the catalyst 6.3-based omega-drivers on my t41p (with ATI FireGL 2), and they're working great. (had some problems with the official IBM release, and have found the omega drivers to be better for my system)

more heat dissipation with other non IBM official driver??
have you tried it out?

raabjerg · #12 Post by **raabjerg** » Mon May 22, 2006 9:03 am

I haven't noticed more heat dissapation, but there is heat when gaming, of course. Either way, I have trouble understanding how an alternate driver could create more heat from a hardware device...

Drivers are at www.omegadrivers.net

Select "ATI Radeon" from the top menu and "win2k/xp" on the next page

how do you prove that it has a better performance compare to the official driver???

raabjerg · #17 Post by **raabjerg** » Mon May 22, 2006 4:37 pm

I haven't run any tests, but have always felt that the omega drivers gave me better gaming performance. (and for the Radeon 7500 on my old T42 enabled me to play some games I couldn't with the IBM driver).

I figure, when the IBM/Lenovo drivers are lagging behind (timewise) on implementing the newer catalyst versions, better to use drivers based on the newest ATI-releases

my tp increased 500 score in 3dmark03. but the driver seens only work in 3dmark, because i can't use it to run counter strike or Need for speed.
