Is this only recommended for those experiencing the problems, or for everyone? I assume the first?

Can you install these over older Catalyst drivers (like 7.12's for example), or must you use the newest ones?

I'd be willing to do a comparison test to see if they up performance. I won't have time this weekend, though. New parts, dates with two women, and a lacrosse game

I will tell you if this works in around 20 minutes.
In counter strike source, I get random moments where it just LAGS out. Like its not really random because it only happens on a certain map and in like 2-3 areas on that map....But ALWAYS happens!

I only have issues with my X2, when someone throws a Flash granade in Counter Strike Source or COD 4, I thought i damaged it while overclocking, hopefully this fixes that issue...

Well i wasnt having problems but i installed it anyway just incase it showed any improvement and it was horribble i actually got micro stuttering.
8.2 his alot better than 8.3 but i use the Extreme G optimized 8.2 driver its awsome.

I wondered why my HL2:EP2 was stuttering and acting shitty. Using the flashlight made the game unplayable. Same for COD2 and other games.

Wow, just wow. Just actually listened about how powerplay is randomly dropping the power usage of the cards during loading & strenuous playing. GJ ATI, well sort of...

meh, its like ppl sticking with the 4.12 drivers back in the day, i moved on and had NO problems, some did.
as to the feelind special, thats how i felt back in the nf2 days when everybody else was having perf drops from using the nviia chipset drivers and i was getting a small perf boost from them. i think its just that some systems like some drivers/settings and others dont, nothing more or less then that. |
