However the driver from the popular downloads link is labled as 9.1 (509.zip) and is ~62MB and contains the propper 9.1's.

Ahhh OK, I see, think the site has choked

Does anyone have any idea when there will be a AGP Hotfix release for the new 9.1 drivers??? I`m currently using a Radeon® HD 3850 AGP, and would like to try these new drivers out.

Hex, care to stick the drivers on one of those file upload sites? Or at least the one you downloaded and are running.

*Prays its the vista 64 ones*

Just found these links:

http://www.sendspace.com/file/pskts7 << Vista 64

http://www.sendspace.com/file/k6gd1i << Vista 32

They have apparently been downloaded and checked to be the correct 9.1's by folks on the AMD forums.

Will do a few tests later when home to see if it improves anything

Seem fine, just cranked up Supreme Commander and all seems well, I don't really play any "new" games so I'm not a good candidate for "benchmarking"

I think I'll just wait until the ATI website is updated, at least that way you can be sure to getting the correct version.
