people claim they enhance image quality/stability at the expense of a few frames. i've never noticed a difference between ati's and these though. just try each set out a see what works best.

I have found that my systen is more stable with the Omega's for some odd reason. That's might be just me though.

There was a topic over on the driverheaven.net forums where a person had tested various custom driver packages. Omega, Ati cat 4.1, Neutral, DNA, and Asura. He/she did not do any image quality testing, but actually found that many of the driver packs offered increased frame rates/scores/etc over the standard catalyst pack, albeit a very small percentage. Also, almost all of the packs took a hit in one test or another. Im running the Asura 4.1 catalyst right now and I am very happy with the performance and image quality.

Edit: Looks like the new Omega's have a version of radlinker built in. Nice suprise.

I've only used the Omega drivers since I got a 9800NP (my first ATI card) a few months ago. I have yet to run into a problem with any of my games or applications.

I find that I can OC better with the Omegas and that my card is more stable, could just be a coincedence but that's how it works for me.
