yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!

EDIT: Still says 8.12?

Mr Paul · 29 Jan 2009 at 11:05

Hmm links haven't been updated yet ggrrrrr

HeX · 29 Jan 2009 at 11:05

Until you click the link and then you find it is actually the 8.12 hotfix drivers.

Hence if you read the other 9.1 thread you'd find we've hunted down some actual 9.1 driver mirrors

The files above are the official ones, they have been taken from the Sapphire site, and then put on a mirror.

Anyone got a link to the release notes?

Alpherah · 29 Jan 2009 at 11:32

Well for what its worth, going from previous latest to 9.1's i gained about the following:
WoW - 12fps
TF2/Source engine games - 5 FPS
Crysis - 7fps
Grid - 9fps

Probably down to the 'Multi threading' change moreso then anything else i guess.

all i managed to test so far, all dx9 too btw since im running xp

-edit-
4850 Crossfire setup.

gareth170 · 29 Jan 2009 at 12:08

krisboats · 29 Jan 2009 at 12:33

Crysis is also playing marginally smoother for me on my 4850 at stock speeds estimated extra 2-3fps.

Winkie · 29 Jan 2009 at 13:06

gotta hand it to ATI , after all this waiting the damn thing still wont give me the crossfire tab for my 2 4850's only 8.10 will give the crossfire tab. Anyone else have same prob ?

HeX · 29 Jan 2009 at 13:16

I've got CF 4850's, the 8.11, 8.11 hotfix, 8.12, 8.12 hotfix 1 all wouldn't work with my cards (blue screen after install).

However the 8.12 Hotfix 2 work perfectly.

I've not had chance to try the 9.1's yet.

Rambo89 · 29 Jan 2009 at 13:21

Mirrors edge now plays smoothly on my 4870X2.

Will try GTA see if its playable.

TaKeN · 29 Jan 2009 at 13:28
