ahh. nice. so is the driver any good? should i install it over my 9.11 beta drivers?

 

[tmaxxthomson]

ok, just had a read. and wow!! those drivers give the ati card some hike! passes the 295 in its own TWIMTBP game xD and crossfire smashes the quad SLI. maby these drivers are the beginning to show us what the card can really do??

 

[hudson86]

are these 32 or 64 bit ?

are these 32 or 64 bit ?

I think both, installed fine on win 7 x64

i have installed these drivers, so far so good, and theres a definate improvement in nfss on two tracks that i tried, one tokyo which i could see a slow down with old drivers, with these the slow down is still there but nowhere near as bad, bring on the patch from ea and the game will be mint

These drivers haven't worked for me, I installed over the top of the 9.11 betas and CCC is still showing driver package 8.67 direct3d v8.14.10.0708.

I'll try uninstalling and removing all trace of the 9.11 s

 

[straxusii]

I can't believe these are the 9.12 betas, both the driver package version and the driect3d driver have earlier version numbers, CCC reports this is cat 9.10.

About to compare vantage between these and 9.11's

Edit: dropped from 16626 to 16512 vantage GPU score, given the version numbers I dont think these are the 9.12 betas.

I can't believe these are the 9.12 betas, both the driver package version and the driect3d driver have earlier version numbers, CCC reports this is cat 9.10.

They aren't 9.12 betas, they just have certain fixes that will end up in the 9.12's The 8.98 drivers that are only around for XP at the moment should be the real 9.12 betas if they ever show up for Windows 7.

if true that explains my results in the other thread
