I've been using the most recent version of Omega's ATI drivers for years now, I've gotten much better performance from those then stock ATI drivers. Give 'em a go if you're up too it, just Google "Omgea ATI Drivers". I think there's also a dedicated section for them on guru3d as well, I'm not 100% sure.

System: Well... it's certainly clocked... and bright.

Haven't those stop being updated?

@ the OP: Get the XG Catalyst 8.12's. Best drivers out ATM.

Slappa, I'm not 100% sure if they have or haven't, I'll check when I get home from work. I know I strictly used Omega when ATI messed up one of the Catalyst drivers and had no AGP support.

Yeah I remember using the Omega's back when I had my crappy X1300. Tried to squeeze every last bit out of it.

EDIT: Just checked and the last update for ATi was 7.12 Omega's
