I'm using 7.12 but even 7.9 worked with my AGP card.

No diff on a X1950pro in 3Dmark06 & didn't expect one.
7.9 gave me the highest mark this year.

Ohwell back to gaming.

If you are still playing Crysis, stick with the hotfix drivers.

This might be my last ATI driver installation for a looong time :cry: (should get 8800gt finally start of the next year).

Oh and haven't uninstalled any catalyst 7 version driver the whole year, before a new one and still going strong. (and I've only used the display driver without CCC). Will put this on on top of previous ones as well and it will work too :) (people are too obsessed about uninstalling previous drivers, or I'm just lazy to do it :p)

ohh your gonna need to uninstall when you get yout 8800

Of course, will run catalyst uninstaller, clear registry and propably do a manual delete to what is left and looking like ATI :) In the mean time I enjoy my ATI days, only once I had a driver issue in past with x800gto and current card, not bad for over 2 years of use.

I'd like to see some xFire support, for sure

Are you running the retail game? There was a workaround by using the config folder from the demo version to run crossfire.

I'm running crossfire and can play the Crysis demo with the 7.12's. The 7.11's were crashing when the game opened.
