    standard would be sager.com there ati driver for my model. and no, lol, but then again i though omega drivers where better?

    so you think i should uninstail omega and slap on sagers stuff?

    Try ATI's reference drivers first. The OMEGA's are a hashed together set of drivers that are made from files of different versions of ATI's releases and tested to see if they work. IMO, you're asking for unknown variables by doing that.

    The Mobility drivers will be part of your chipset drivers package which you can get from your laptop manufacturers website.

    You really want to get the official drivers, the Windows ones really suck for performance.

    ran me 1300 its only a 15" screen but still really nice with combo dvd drive,



    Now, i went back to the stock drivers, but the game runz like shit, i havn't tried FarCry to see what the deal is b/c i let my freind hold it.... but painkiller glitches with everything on low and hardly anything checked? it must be the driver / i put on doom 3 just to see if my laptop could handle it and it could run it with the omega drivers, but i can't test it now either b/c i think the game is weak and i don't have it anymore :) so any feedback would be great

    "and i still can't get on omega's site to d/l there ati driver for laptops" there something i need to enable to look at there site? i never had this prob b4

    Ugh?

    I'm confused :confused:

    Stock drivers.... meaning the ones you got with the laptop? You can't get Mobilitry drivers from ATi, since they only provide the graphics chipset itself. You need to go to your laptop manufacturers website, plug in your details and get the latest driver update for your card. You should get the chipset drivers, which will include the graphics drivers.

    And, of course, get the relevant patches for whatever game you're trying to play.

    And dont get the omega drivers if you're having issues!! It will just complicate them having the extra settings which will change if you go into the control panel!!

    yea i went to sager.com got there ati drivers for my notebook, and thats great and all, but what i am trying to do is get to omegas site and d/l there drivers, b/c all i have to do is uninstail the control panel of this ATI driver and it worked super great b4 with no bugs no glitches,

    how can i d/l the driver? do i have to have settings on internet, or firefox to see his site or something? the damn thing won't work i even get direct link to the site and it won't work? it's .net?
