NEWS / Neue Omega-Treiber mit DirectX 9 Support

Nachdem die Weichnachtsfeiertage nun gut überstanden sind, versorgen auch wir sie wieder mit aktuellen Nachrichten und Artikeln...

Bereits vor wenigen Tagen hatten wir über den Release der Radeon Catalyst 03.0 Treiber von ATi berichtet (News), nun bieten auch dei Jungs von Omegacorner erste DirectX 9 Treiber an. Zwei neue Treiber, für Windows 2000/XP und Windows 9x/ME, wurden auf Qualität optimiert und basieren auf ATi´s neustem Treiber-Paket...

Omega 2.3.55 (2000/XP)

• Based on the official 6255 ATI drivers
• DirectX 9.0 support. (that explains the version number change)
• Fixed the Mobility problems. (I hope, not tested)
• This relase is a mix from the 6218 drivers and the 6255 drivers, this was done to fix the stuttering and OpenGL problems introduced in the new catalyst 3.0 drivers, these drivers should NOT have those problems
• Since they D3D core is based on the Catalyst 3.0 drivers, Dx9 is a MUST to use these drivers
• Fixed the Alpha Blending Acceleration, now Windows will have full HW Alpha Blending support
• The SMARTGART control panel is GONE in this release, Why?, because it had no use, that CP was used to troubleshoot problems, not to fix any. Those settings can be adjusted in the computer´s BIOS and FastWrites can be turned OFF in the normal PERFORMACE tab found in Windows (but is better to turn it off in the BIOS)

• Based on the official 9076 ATI drivers
• DirectX 9.0 support (that explains the version number change)
• Removed some old tweaks that are no longer necesary
• Used the 9072 OpenGL driver since the new OpenGL ICD was very buggy
• Since they D3D core is based on the Catalyst 3.0 drivers, Dx9 is a MUST to use these drivers
