Awesome :D

...now to see if it fixes the problems of the x2 starting up with one core at 3d speeds on desktop. Oh and the shadow speckles in crysis dx10.
 
Loadsa, FYI that release notes link doesn't seem to work. I get access denied, not sure if others do. :confused:

Cheers for the heads up though!
 
i reinstall windows xp every new driver because i want to be 110% sure theres no left overs of data bytes that arent used :rolleyes:


Not
 
The only reason I am going to uninstall the beta's and driver sweep this time is cause I think they came with a load of extra stuff thats not needed. It was over 100MB, so not sure what the extra stuff was.
