    any real world benchies?
    I mean like AM3, real game performance and quality?
    AA and AF peformances?
    Comeon guys ( specially those with broadband ) download em and try it.
    I cannot just go and download each driver out there on Dialup :D
    If they are worth it then maybe yes.

    Had these running since release, no installation probs or bugs since, didnt notice any difference in fps from the official but id choose the DNA over the omega or official every time.

    If u want to see more comments then go here, where support is given.

    I had a minor problem with NFSU with the cat 3.10 drivers. The game would stutter every now and then, These drivers seem to fix this.:)

    I unfortunatly did NOT like these drivers. They did something wierd with my refresh rates, and I couldnt scroll or open windows like normal (@85hz). It was very 'slow' and chunky like a VERY low refresh rate.

    Tried everything to fix it. Had to revert to official 3.10's

    :(

    You mean you couldn't change you desktop refresh rate?

    I had this same problem and was about to post of DNA's forum about it, but i found out the problem. Its down to uninstalled files from Omega drivers.

    This set of drivers gave 5952 for my 3d2001se
    the Omega's 3.10 gave me 6004

    The DNA's said that my 9600 Pro wasn't a compatible hardware? :confused: I just installed the original 3.10 and I'lll add the RadLinker for overclocking myself.

    I think DNA's and Omega's don't like clean installs... it's happened to me before... I have to install normal ones first, then unisntall and then the DNA/Omega ones.

    Omega's should work ok after a clean install because they can be installed without needing any other drivers. DNA's drivers need you to uninstall the ATI control panel because they are not complete drivers.

    ah...
    I thought so about the omega ones... but the time I installed them cleanly they had problems with mine exclusivly I think.. I'm not sure... I think it was with the 3.4... hmmm... 3.2... don't remmeber exactly. They released a hotfix for that, or something.

    Just out of intrest heffeque. Your overclocked 9600 is at 432/216, do you have any problems playing games with it clocked like that?

    Also do you have Samsung Ram?

    No problems at all. I had to change the Advanced settings to get the exact 432/216 ---> that would be 432/432DDR. I thought that if I had it synchronized it would run faster (that happens with AMD's processors) but It wasn't true, it just ran that same as un-synchronized. I have it at 426/231 and it runs a bit faster. I had it at 475/275 once, but it needed heavy Voltage load for it to run correctly (that shortens the video card's life) so I only had it that way for the benchies :D

    I would recommend you to do CPU between 420 and 445 to be safe; and as for memory put it between 215 and 235. The Ram that PowerColor's 9600 Pro EZ has is sh*t, so don't push it to 250 and up levels. Normal Pro levels (300) would kill it.

    Any questions?

    I have three case fans and a extractor 2 fan psu. Would this help is keeping the card cool under heavy Overclocking?

    Cheers.

    Heat is not the only reason a video card can die. High voltage or just a high enough overclocking can kill it. Maybe you won't notice it the first days, but it can die in a month or two... I think the best overclocking is the SAFE overclocking: heat is NOT a problem for the 9600 because of the 0.13 fabrication unless you overclock it extremly, but anyway, all those fans in the case aren't that usefull for a videocard that doesn't heat up that much, so don't woory about your 9600 overheating because it wont. Those fans are usefull for the CPU though.

    Is your 9600 a normal Pro or an EZ Pro?
