Terry apparently did a little covert ops here and released it unbeknownst 🙂

 

[Electronic Punk]

Wow, that was out of the blue.

Normally there is a ceramony before any kind of release.

 

[Howling Wolf]

We jumped from 3.10 to 4.1 ? I didn't hear anything about 4.0 ... did I miss something ?

@HowlingWolf: There was no 4.0 release 🙂

 

[Sazar]

word of caution

Significant performance loss is noticed in Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. This issue is already resolved and a fix will be available in the next CATALYST™ driver release

so if like me you lot play a lot of ET... stick to the 3.10's 🙂

else get this set... it improves openGL performance a bit as well per the changelog...

*Wonders why Sazar didn't post this on the front page*

 

[Electronic Punk]

i insalled them and played a few games of command and conquer generals - zero hour and it worked great

 

[Erbmaster]

Think i'll hang on for the Omega version. Nice heads-up tho' Sazar 😉

 

[Electronic Punk]

Just been playing ET for a few hours... no problems at all.

 

[dubstar]

i see no need to upgrade, but its all about the new releases.. what they hell, im in.

 

[Petros]

I'd be cautious if I were you. I've heard this driver causes inexplicable rashes. It drank all my Ovaltine as well.

 

[wag]

Thanks for the Ovaltine info. I was just beating my child because I thought HE drank all the ovaltine. Whoops!

(Relax DYFS I was kidding!)

 

[chaos945]

Been testing it out on a few games only Halo had a problem. All the working games looked GREAT on my Radeon 9800Pro.



Worked:
Max Payne 2
Call of Duty
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Unreal II

Didn't Work:
Halo - Crashed "Inexplicably"

 

[Heeter]

My Computer crashes when I try to install it (Twice). Won't even boot into welcome screen, keeps restarting itself.

Had to go back to "Last Known Good Configuration"

Maybe it is because my FSB is O/C'ed? I am running @ 200 x 10

EP...same here. Enemy Territory seemed to work like a charm for the hour or so i played it!

What's your game name...i'll look out for ya!

 

[Electronic Punk]

ElectronicPunk of course... love being an engineer atm 😉

I'd be cautious if I were you. I've heard this driver causes inexplicable rashes...

I was wondering why I started itching after the installation! 😀 🙄
