Radeon Omega Catalyst Drivers will provide gamers with an alternate set of drivers, ones that have more options and features than the original sets. The drivers contain optimizations, extra features (like OC capabilities), more resolutions and internal tweaks that can give them the edge in a gaming enviroment over the normal drivers, which are often tailored for synthetic benchmarks. All Omega driver sets are tested to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.
Yes
- Based on the Official ATI Catalyst 7.10 drivers, but unlike them, these will work with AGP cards just fine
- Added support for a lot of other cards that where not present before (like the x1950 AGP, Mobility HD2600 and many more)

Based on Catalyst v7.1 drivers, but v9.5 are out now as of May 2009. Anyone notice any ACTUAL performance gains in using these versus the legit drivers?

OK, that is very nice for hard-core gamers. One idea though. If there are so talented people, that are capable of writing drivers, why not write alternate drivers that will be an alternative to the PRO-drivers for FireGL , FirePro cards ... BUT for the regular graphics cards! :-) This would enable to run pro-apps smoothly on regular cards. (pro-apps not beeing able to run smoothly on "normal" cards are a complete cheekiness anyway!)

Don't know what the fuss is about?
Like asking why everyone's pc doesn't look and act exactly alike

Best driver for ATI Cards!
No mobility or hardware vendor limitation!
This driver installs with all! including mobility Radeon cards of all vendors unlike ATi Drivers which check for OEM hardware and prohibit driver installation.
Best of all this driver comes with the normal control panel without slow CCC!!

Omega drivers are nothing special. Not faster, and certainly not nicer. Besides, I have an AGP X1950GT and it runs perfectly with the official 7.10 drivers (smartGart enabled). Don't know what the fuss is about.
