Just cause they are new doesn't mean they are good/beter... I learned the hard way that my current drivers(61.76) are the best for my card, I tried over 10 drivers and ran a Benchmark after each, the best scores i go was with 61.76. I think anyone updating vid drivers should do a benchmark b4 and after and see what gives them a better score

I want to try the Omega drivers, I've heard they're better. Right now they don't support versions 70.xx and up, but soon they will and then I'll try them.

I found out the hard way too. I tried updating my drivers and it fucked something up badly. I had to do a system restore. (I am an ATI X300 SE owner).
|
You're lucky, my parents were cheap when it came to hardware.
No. Seriously. No.

Your facts are correct. ATI cards do run better on HL2 & CS:S. The new drivers just suck, I would stay with the default ones.

|
If you're talking about sticking with Windows default drivers, then that is not a good idea. When I install the latest drivers over the default ones, I get around a 30 FPS increase and no more artifacts.

|
I was talking about the drivers that come with the card. I'm just sticking with those because I had a bad history with updating the drivers.

That I also meant. Upgrading from those drivers or the Windows default drivers is a huge increase in FPS overall.
