Let's pretend you are using Windows XP ?-->LookHere

Depends on your os version an the version that the video card is running.

[Calum]

squall, care to clarify that a little?

Why don't we just wait for the OP to post back with an answer to the first question?

[computeruler]

best as in the driver that will make my card get a better 3dmark06 score or something running xp home sp3

[squall_01]

I dont recommened that he update to sp3 or anything, till they have it working.

[computeruler]

works fine for me so what would be the best driver from the list in the first post?

[squall_01]

Sorry I ment got lost ignore posting.

computeruler, please ignore squall, he's actually making no sense at all to me.

The best driver is usually determined by trial and error, give some of them a shot and see which drivers perform best.
I would start with these if you must try modified drivers.
Be aware however that no matter what drivers you use, that card will still suck - sorry, but it's integrated graphics, there are no miracle drivers or programs out there to increase your graphics performance drastically.

[computeruler]

not integrated but pcie x16 but it does suck ok trail and error ill try it

[squall_01]

Sorry I ment got lost ignore posting.

 

[Calum]

Sorry, I stand corrected.
The X1050 is not an integrated chip, I was thinking of the X1100/50.  The naming of this product is especially confusing as it is actually an X550.
It will still not give any acceptable performance in modern games no matter what drivers you try.

squall, what are you actually trying to say?

[computeruler]

seems pretty good in some fps with graphics on almost high ones from like 05 and 06

[squall_01]

Ignore the posted made

Games have changed a bit since then. The X1050 (a.k.a. the Radeon 9550) doesn't support some new games, like Mass Effect and other games that require 3.0 shading.

I had a 9550 for a long time and found the ATI driver to be the best one to use. I never got better performace from custom drivers and this card.

[computeruler]

so i should just stay with the driver from the cd or what ever and custom drivers wont make a difference?

[quaxo]

I didn't use any benchmarking software, but my eyes didn't notice any difference.

If you made any posts that didn't work out squall just delete them.

[squall_01]

I should but too lazy to get around to it.  Will do it soon.

3dguru is a great site for drivers. I would use the newest driver they have thats certified for your card, avoid betas. It easy to update drivers and its always best to have the latest ones as they help with newer games. I also wouldnt bother too much with modded drivers like Omega. You can try them but the gains are usually minimal if at all.
