ATI Display Driver: which do you use?

[yeti]

I was wondering whether there are optimized/custom alternatives to AMD's Catalyst drivers- I used to use Omega drivers (www.omegadrivers.net) but that driver is no longer maintained.

Any suggestions?

is it advisable to use the non-official drivers?

Yes, if you know what you are doing. Check the Wiki entry on Omega Drivers.

ATI doesn't publish a lot of the info needed to make a driver. Chances are sky-high that any unofficial driver will be inferior.

Plus ATI is very keen to make sure that its gfx cards perform at the best possible level, so any suggestion that their driver is not optimized is kind ludicrous.

Most of the optimized 3rd party drivers just cut out feature that the end-user might not notice to gain fps.

ignorance is bliss, and I am truly enjoying my holidays, but are you referring to Omega's Wiki (which I can't find) or a mybb wiki that I'm unaware of?

I am running 9.11 with Win 7 64-bit.
Not had any problems here.
