7-9_vista64_dd_52447.exe
7-9_vista64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_52447.exe

Neither work for me, those the right ones I assume?

Any performance improvements?

yes

 

[Teaf]

Tried again, worked.

Seems it won't install if you have spaces in the installation directory as normally I change the directory to C:\Program Files\ATI, instead of C:\ATI. Now to test!

[EDIT]:

just noticed that AMD game site, when'd that happen!?! I've still got bookmarked direct links to the download pages on the old style page.

Plus what are the southbridge drivers for? Are they just if you have an ATi/AMD chipset on your mobo?

 

[killer_uk]

The site was launched a few days ago

Southbridge drivers are only if you have a motherboard that uses an ATI chipset

 

[Rackerz]

Are these different from the hotfix drivers?

Some interesting new options in the Color tab.

Options for:

PC Standard black and white levels
Microsoft MCE black and white levels

PC one for computer graphics and MCE for video supposedly.
Are these new to 7.9 or did I never see them in 7.8?
