Omega Radeon drivers and window drawing


Recommended Posts

I just installed the newest Omega drivers for my Radeon 9800XT, and it's running horribly in Windows. I think for some reason Windows isn't using my graphics card to draw things. When I right click for a menu to fade in, it's like a slideshow of five frames. Any window that needs to draw constantly takes up a lot of CPU, especially Task Manager.

Does anyone have a solution for this? Thanks.

i have the 9800XT and well i was running the ATI drivers that were lagging on loading any new windows.... then i switched over to the

Omega drivers.. 4.11 based on the beta.. and they work way better then ATIs drivers... i wouldnt go back!

Only thing is you have to fully uninstall ATI drivers and then install the omega drivers...

On the website expect new omega drivers this week.. based on the 4.12 drivers

I just installed the official 4.11 drivers and it's still doing the same thing. Do you think this could be a conflict between my ATI TV Wonder and my graphics card?

Edit: I was trying to uninstall the drivers for my ATI TV Wonder, but I can't find it in the Device Manager. I physically removed the card from my machine a month ago because I wanted to put it in another computer, so I don't know if the drivers are just hidden or if Windows automatically uninstalled them.

Omega's 4.12b will be released sometime this week, as he says on his site.

My guess would be that the drivers are hidden, because when I pulled out my NIC without unistalling the driver, I got all sorts of errors on the next boot, and i had to manually remove them. Might be different for a vid card, though.

right click 'my computer' > properties > hardware > device manager

You're kidding, right? :blink:

Anyway, you don't need to uninstall the drivers. They aren't being used because the device is gone. They don't even apply to the Radeon, so I don't see how they would be conflicted... I've heard of some Driver Cleaner software, but I've never used any, so I don't know what to get...

Start>Run "dxdiag"

click on the "Display" tab and make sure under "DirectX Features" all three options are enabled.

    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
