yeah I got 80 more 3dmarks. They have seemed to add more flexibility to the drivers when it comes to the second display, I found before I couldn't get movies to stretch to fit the full screen before, now I can

Screw the synthetic benching crap, I want someone to bench modern gpu limited games at high detail like Doom3, Farcry, Hl2. I dont want any timedemo benches, I want to see the min fps rate you all get with the new drivers vs the old.

I have the new Cat 5.6 downloaded, but haven't installed it yet.
Question... the ATI site recommends having SP2 installed for best results. I uninstalled SP2 a couple of months ago because of some conflicts. I wonder how much difference it really makes? Please, could those that are posting results include which OS and if you are running XP, please list whether you have SP1 or SP2? Thanks.

You Probably won't notice a thing, if it did, i would think it would be only slight performance increase/decrease...

i noticed that too, just not as much. instead of getting 30-40 in firefights/smoke i will get 40-50. maybe gave me a couple fps difference just walking around the map.

Just wanted to add that I gained about 1500 points in Aquamark as well...
Also, what does this Catalyst AI thing do? I've seen it in ATI Tray Tools through the past few driver versions, but I've never played with it, and I can't figure out for the life of me what the heck it does?? Anyone know??

i love them so far, gta:sa runs smoother since im running it with the max draw distance with 4xt3 AA and quality 8x AF at 1280x1024 at very high settings, its like half life 2: san andreas
