Wow. Big performance increases over a set of drivers not even designed for the cards in question?

If you want to play that game, I've seen increases of almost 1000% just buy upgrading from the built in W7 driver to 11.2!!!
 
Sounds like ATI drivers are still crap and no different to last the time i owned/used an ATI card....


Think am going be sticking with buying Nvidia cards

Stop trolling.

If it wasn't for your good drivers, there would be, in some cases, literally no reason to buy an Nvidia card over an AMD.

As for these drivers, mixed results seem to be appearing so I'll wait for the full release I think.
