Default Recommended 3rd party drivers?
I am looking into switching to a 3rd party tweaked driver for my Radeon card and I am looking for recommendations if anybody has info... Omega and ngohq doesn't seem to update often and they are currently basing their drivers off of an old CCC version. Tweakforce Extreme-G seems pretty up to date though. I dont know if i am missing any others to look at...

I wouldn't bother with any tweaked drivers. They are rarely kept up to date (e.g. Omega drivers) and offer minimal performance gains.

Ati does a good job with their drivers and since 3rd party drivers arent updated often dont bother. Just get CCC 9.8 from game.amd.com and u should be fine.
