I Installed a Powercolor 9600XT. It came with Cat38 driver; I installed the Cat310's instead. There is no Overdrive tab as seen in this PICTURE. I thought that the Cat310's were supposed to support Overdrive. The Powercolor card is the same as an ATI (it has the ATI logo on the fan and board) so there should not be anything unusual about the card. Does anyone with a 9600XT or 9800XT see the Overdrive tab in their Display Properties?

from what i understand overdrive doesn't work on many of 9600xts at the moment aside from the retail ati ones, but later driver revisions should change that.

Interesting it is! Right on the back of the Powercolor box, they list Overdrive as one of the Graphics features. I know that it can manually be OC'd but this is a machine I built for someone else, so the Overdrive feature would be nice to have. Maybe the next Catalyst will get it going.

This is a dumb suggestion from a dumb person as I've never used the omega .10's, but might try them?

I do have the Omega 10's, but I can't remember if I tried them or not. I tried so many different drivers, I lost track of which ones I used. I gave the machine to the person I built it for and it is running great with the Catalyst 3.10's, but if I get a chance to work on it again, I might give the Omega drivers a shot and see if the Overdrive panel is there. Thanks for the suggestion!

The RadClocker was left out of the new Omega CATs by the authors request

EDIT: You can read about it Here

EDIT: oops, i thought you were referring to the Omega CATs, i dont use the ATI CATs.
