I installed the newest (4.8-based) Omega ATI drivers Last night and it did nada for improving Dom 2 framerates on my (128mb video RAM) 9600XT versus ATI's own drivers. I get ~30fps at "normal" detail level. No offense to the IW guys, but I suspect the "problem" (for lack of a better word) is in their engine and not in the Open GL drivers, because the Omega drivers did improve performance for Doom 3. OTOH, Dom 3 also plays well on my 600MHz Celeron laptop (8mb video RAM). Overall, a game that plays well on antique (anything 2+ years old) hardware does have something good to be said about it. It would just be a nice bonus if it would actually take advantage of all the fancy horsepower my (3.5GHz) desktop has. Still, I bought Dom for it's strategic depth, not it's graphics, so I'm not complaining. heh
