It installed fine on my 3850AGP. Ok here is the trick:
1./ DONT uninstal the old driver
2./ Just install the *drivers* not CCC on top of existing
3./ Reboot, then turn up hardware acceleration
Done
RESULTS SO FAR:
1./ Lightsmark 2007, up +12%
2./ Open Furmark, 3337 to 3344 (nothing much)
3./ Aquamark, no change
4./ 3Dmark06, no change worth mentioning. Stock 10,299. Overclock 11,663 *
* I hate doing the 3Dmark benchmarks. They take SO LONG to do. Wish they would do something a little bit more zippy.
agreed.
and to 3m06 performance, I saw a 400 point drop between CAT 8.2 and CAT 8.5
