Downloaded these last night and got to try them out this morning. I have to say, I'm impressed. I've been using the CCC version of the drivers since the beginning and there is definitely a HUGE difference. I haven't done too much in the way of testing but Battlefield 2 plays beautifully and Doom3 benchmark went up from 88fps to 90fps from Omega 5.7s.

Thanx to Catalystmaker and Zardon for this early release and also to the whole ATI and Driverheaven crew. This is by far one of the best online communities I've seen in a long time!

ATI and DH rock!

FnF is an unknown quantity at this point
Some tips for people who are hating the memoryuse of CCC/booting times:

- Disable the preview of the car driving on the road.
- Disable splash screen
- Disable hotkeys
- Disable systemtray

Now CLI.exe is around 5MB when Idle, and around 25MB when used

just realized CCC is only using 1.5 mb on my system and only 1 cli.exe with the tray tool off. NOW THAT IS SWEET!

Sweet with DriverHeaven having such close relations to ATi... Knew they were close, but this close??? Getting drivers first and everything. Can it get better?

Wonder if my 9700 will like these drivers or not... Time to test...

and of course DH and ATI Rock, but all of us already knew that...

Doesn't mean there are no performance increases People have reported higher 3dMark scores with these sets, so it wouldn't hurt to give them a try

Yes, I know. I'm just happy with my current set. Every game I play works fast and beautifull. I will install this one with CCC just for give it a try.
The worst case? I will be happy just like I'm now!

My 9600SE performs slightly better. I don't know if it's too noticeable, but it does. So your 9700 pro should have a slight performance increase with this set.

Anyone try the ATI Media center? I plan to purchase a ATI USB TV tuner
But lots of negative review from the web, some claimed that it use a lot of CPU power
etc etc.

Can someone tell me the performance of latest ATI Media center, how does it perform in USB
TV tuner card? Does the latest USB TV tuner comes with ATI Theater 550 chipset?

5.8 are tiny bit faster in some games over 5.7, like Battlefield 2.

Overall, though, both are pretty equal.
