The purpose of the Omega Drivers is to 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.
I've used them in the past for games that I was seeing bugs in and they were taken care of in the Omega drivers. For my job as a reviewer I stick with the main public drivers that 95% of the consumers use. Try them out and have no fear. They are good stable drivers most of the time

I think mine has heat sinks on the memory also. I can't tell w/o taking my case out, but it looked like there were heat sinks. I got mine shortly after they came out and paid like $320 for it on EBay.Apoptosis wrote:Which 9800Pro do you have? I got the original one that has DDR2 and the individual heat sink on each memory IC. I love it ;) Faster than the 9800XT's that I played with!
For #1, like on Xoxide you can buy Cu ramsinks (for DDR memory) for only $2 more than aluminum (set of
For #2, CU transfers heat better, so if there is a fan over it wouldn't it be cooler than aluminum?
I was just going to buy those Cu heatsinks and put them on my FX5600, since the memory on that is the same size as normal memory, so are you saying that I would be better off buying the Al??
My video card cooler would blow air across the bottom heatsinks (bottom of the card) and my exhaust fans would draw air across the top of the card (my card has 4 pieces of memory, put ramsinks on both sides).
