How Good are the DNA-Drivers for ATI Cards?

Posted by Cliff on from the worth-the-download dept.

dark_requiem asks: "I've been digging around online to find some way to pump a bit more power out of my Radeon 9800 for Half-Life2, and I ran across DNA-Drivers. According to the developer, these are hacked versions of the official Catalyst drivers, optimized for speed and image quality. I've been trying to find a good review of the performance of these drivers, but haven't found much. Has anyone tried these before? Are they stable? What kind of performance advantage do they offer?"

    DNA drivers are merely a repackage of ATI's 4.12 beta drivers with some registry tweaks/modified DLLs. Those 4.12 beta drivers supposedly increase Half-Life 2 performance by a great deal though, so you might want to give them a try.
