I dont care if this driver offers any performance increase, I just want to see The Witcher fixed.

Hopefully I can get back into The Witcher with these drivers - been meaning to replay it for over a year now. :cool:

Cat 9.12s for vista and 7 are here : http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=311190

Think I'll wait to download off the ATI site though

download speeds are really slow. also it's a zip file so doubt they're real.

i'll wait for them to appear on AMD's site

Got to make sure I don't install these by habit, 'cause they won't work this time around for me.

Martini1991 · 16 Dec 2009 at 08:39

I'm going to try something to see if I can get the officials off ATI, give me a minute and I'll report if they're on the server yet.

Omega · 16 Dec 2009 at 08:41

So has anyone installed these yet?!

Martini1991 · 16 Dec 2009 at 08:43

The officials aren't on the servers yet.
The sapphire ones I'm not going to try lol

Nice increase, can you try xtreme? Only interested in GPU score

gareth170 · 16 Dec 2009 at 10:15

dirt 2
1920x1200, ultra setting, 8x aa, gpu at 800/1250

9.11

46fps

9.12

52fps

i think both are low due to having 2gb of ram, i had to rma my 4gb kit so im waiting for the replacemeants.

wolvers · 16 Dec 2009 at 10:21

Gareth, are you comparing with the 9.11 Dirt2 hotfix ones there?

gareth170 · 16 Dec 2009 at 10:37

yes, but it gets the same fps with the normal 9.11.. the hotfix only adds crossfire..

The hotfix also fixed the menu screens in Dirt 2 for non crossfire setups.
