These are different.

(Those were alpha drivers I leaked months back.)

Fastmix · Sep 30, 2008, 01:56 AM

It adds a fan sensor in CCC as well as a slider to enable manual fan control.

Binge · Sep 30, 2008, 02:00 AM

P4-630 · Sep 30, 2008, 02:05 AM

I think I just wait for the final 8.10 from AMD ATi.
But thanks anyway rflair

Evo85 · Sep 30, 2008, 02:16 AM

Thanks for the heads up!

I dont D/L Beta drivers. Just because of the instability factor. But nice to know another set of drivers in the works.

Binge · Sep 30, 2008, 02:23 AM

These are more stable than 8.9. Fixed my flicker problem with crossfire and gave me more headway to OC believe it or not.

erocker · Sep 30, 2008, 02:24 AM

I love it so far!

I'm using crossfire, one 4870 and a 4850. The 4850 is using an aftermarket cooler so it reads 0%.

Evo85 · Sep 30, 2008, 02:27 AM

LOVE the manual fan control. Now I can dump RivaTuner!

freakshow · Sep 30, 2008, 02:29 AM

how are these with a 4850?

Fastmix · Sep 30, 2008, 02:31 AM

I have noticed for the 4870 that if you reduce the memory clock....you get a little screen refresh not a flicker anymore but when you restore the clock there is nothing...Looks like Ati is working on the powerplay issue.

philbrown23 · Sep 30, 2008, 08:23 PM

wow major performance hit on all 3dmarks here uninstalling now

erocker · Sep 30, 2008, 08:28 PM

I got a 5fps bump in Warhead and 7-10 fps bump in GRID. I'll have to check out the 3dMarks tonight.

EastCoasthandle · Sep 30, 2008, 08:37 PM

Games should be more important then 3dmark. For example if you get a bump in game and a decrease in 3dmark then it's still all good. Try a few games first.

erocker · Sep 30, 2008, 08:38 PM

Right. With the last few drivers I've noticed a decrease in 3dMark06 and an increase in Vantage. That's a good thing.

Risco · Sep 30, 2008, 09:06 PM

These drivers kick ass! I got performance boosts across the board, especially in shader heavy Crysis and Crysis Warhead.

This is the first time I can say a big thumbs up for ATI since I bought the card. They still have not fixed the set game vysnc and enable ccc triple buffer issue in OGL..
