what are these drivers?






New DNA drivers have been released. These are modified/hacked ATI Catalyst drivers, use them at your own risk. The drivers have been optimized with two things in mind, better Image Quality and more/stable frames per second when compared to the Beta Catalyst drivers from ATI.




*** OverClockProtection for 9000/9200/9550/9600 not removed ***
*** We are working on it, The OverclockProtection is only ***
*** removed when using the softMOD install ***

All the modded drivers I've ever tried, are great for gaming, however If I were to use one I would probably stick with Omega's.

The drivers I've seen and used are always IQ fixes, I've yet to try any that actually were better for 3DM, IQ and bug fixes yes, optimizations that translate to more 3DMarks no...

There was evidence that DNA stole Omega's drivers and added his name to them..

I dont like DNA drivers... Buggy... Less performance and no usefull stuff...

Stick with Omega... He's a GREAT guy... Think he works at ATI BETA driver development... Or sumthin??

Didn't mean to freak out on ye, things seem a lot less offensive when you type them sometimes, strange!
