    Newest drivers are almost always the best.

    I still havent found as good a set of drivers as the Omega 6.9's. They were stable, no graphical corruption and ran beautifully.

    6.12 are the best for XP. You need 7.1 if you have vista.

    I haven't noticed a difference in the performance of any of them from 6.9 to 7.1. The catalyst 7.1 are buggy and have some graphics corruption in some games. The Omega 7.1 are working fine with no corruption, but once again no noticable performance game. I just like to have the newest drivers.
