Actually, the ones Terry is referring to just don't come with anything (CCC/CP), but they will be (or are) the 6.5 drivers.

In any case, THIS is the thread Terry is referring to. Now, I could link you directly to the end result, but hey.. I'm feeling cheeky too.

Hope they fixed some small bug that gives me small horizontal lines in random. They are mainly blue and go across screen. I haven’t found them in cat 6.3 but cat 6.4 has it….

[EDIT] Ok, if I take the alternative DVI operational mode off it will show in cat 6.3 the weird thing is that when I installed cat 6.4 the alternative DVI mode was on....

I sent a bug report using the Catalyst Crew feedback and suggest you do the same. Any CRT monitor I use with CrossFire, well, the Monitor properties and Avivo Color does not appear in the CCC tree. Using Digital Flat panels, well, the Digital Flat Panel properties shows up and Avivo Color. Odd!

As I mentioned, there is no CCC or CP for those drivers. So, using the older CCC/CP may or may not work properly, and it probably will definately not work without the CCC/CP either. Maybe Neon can confirm this, but I don't think you will get Catalyst A.I support without the CCC/CP too.

Cat A.I. defaults to "normal" when you have just the drivers installed.

So it looks like no release this week eh (software is rarely released on fridays because companies want to be available if serious damage control is necessary)? May is getting rather long in the tooth

Havent really tested them out yet but i will report soon, vsync seems to be working now lol or it could just be my eyes, though i have a lcd so it doesnt bother me much....

would have been better to have release notes with these stateing what was fixed ect... performance seems on par with 6.4`s so i would say these are bug fixes release only...
