    Hello all I just got my new M6810 and wanted to ask what graphic drivers you prefer.

    Omegas or Catalyst w/ mobility mod

    Radlinker isnt a big deal to me as I will be useing ATI Tool.

    Have heard mix reviews on the drivers asking which you think work better, Thanx.

    I've used both and can't really tell the difference. Although I had a number of prob's with getting doom3 to run with the 4.7 based drivers from both ATI and omega (I have an ASUS M6Ne), also the 4.9betas from ati were a bit problematic with doom3. But other than that I have been happy with their performance.
    If o/c etc aren't your thing then I think the ati mod would be my choice

    I have the M6809 with the ATI mobility 9600. I cannot get Doom 3 to run for more than 3 minutes before the program errors out. I have attempted to update the drivers to the catalyst 4.7 and 4.8 and both time the installation will not complete. The 4.7 give me an INF error and the 4.8 nsays the hardware is not supported. Any thoughts?
