Okidoki so those RC1 ATI Drivers that i installed that gave me constent BSOD`s was in the 1% then lol

Beta 2? Seems an odd "announcement" to make at this time, as RC1 is out and is itself a whole lot better than the Beta 2 public release. I think VR Zone got something mixed up here. Here's a link to the official 5/24/06 ATi press release from ATi for its beta 2 drivers:

Who cares about how good a company it self think they are

Yeah, that seems a bit silly to post a Beta 2 Crash analysis when RC1's been out for a week or so, now, making those findings completely out of date for Beta testers.

Good thing its about beta 2 and not RC1 cause the RC1's don't work worth a damn on my machine.

it's a joke if you think RC1, it's fairly close if you think beta 2...
