Hey guys, do I just click install or do I have to do something in Catalyst to remove old drivers?

Remove old ones first using the ATI catalyst uninstal utility in the control panel> program list and as soon as they are uninstalled, stick the new ones on then restart.

wrong, his post was 44 mins ago lol. The 10.4 preview are BEFORE these in driver version and only have the faster loading times for 5xxx series cards in BFBC2, these ones however support the rest of the product range.

 

[Speed]

Ah right, my bad. The ones on the 14th were just for the 5xxx series.

 

[James J]

Don't think so, he made the following post on the 14th:



The URL is for the the whole product range with the BF2BC fix:

Jeeeez!

True, but who said it is that kind of speed!

Yeah not tried them out myself, but I'm sure if there were more changes they'd make a song and dance about it!
