Catalyst 8.8 Betas

Jmatt110 · Aug 4, 2008, 05:25 AM

Hey guys

Just saw this over at VR-Zone, new Catalyst 8.8 Betas. I haven't installed as they only linked (assuming) 32bit XP and Vista drivers. Not sure of the legitimacy of them.

Here's the post, including download links: http://forums.vr-zone.com/showthread.php?t=309825

I'll test them as soon as they download :/

Those aren't download links, they are links to the original reports.

The betas don't work right.

It's time for 8.8 though...

They scored within 100 points of eachother when I ran 3dMark06.
