I never measured frame rates with drivers. I rather did a judgment with common sense about them. Maybe I am mistaken about which driver is faster but the competition is between the ATi drivers, Omega Drivers, & the NGO drivers.
My Guess About the Three:
ATi Drivers:
1. They are prone to be optimized more for Benchmark results rather than gaming.
2. They focus so much on stability and would risk any other variables for stability.
Omega Drivers:
1. They are optimized for gaming performance, to its extreme but not focused on stability.
=> I say this due to a personal experience with a Radeon 9700 Pro. It crashes more with BF2 than the three. And sometimes it doesn't handle other games in case of drawing.
NGO Drivers:
1. It's the compromise between quality, performance & stability. Yes! I've never had any problems with these drivers.
Conclusion:
- Why risk stability for performance? Is it nice to play a game so fast and then crash?
- Why risk performance for stability? Do I want to play games or run benchmark programs? Too much stability is the same as stability if both optimizations don't crash!
- Finally, the NGO drivers are not bad! And, don't worry I am not in any way part of the NGO team. I am just a user, and you can check my IP if you wish, I live in Egypt
Thanks for the NGO Team for this work!
