If you want to overclock, NGO worked very well for me. I overclock from 378 core 338 mem to 384 core 351 mem and now I run BF2 all med- low no AA low shadows, wich is pretty good for what I have. I know NGO isn't well known but they're good. Give em a try and if you don't like it you consider Omega Drivers, DNA drivers and Catalyst ( 5.6 being the best, 5.7 as some bugs in games and no major updates ).

Omega Drivers : www.omegadrivers.net

DNA Drivers : www.dna-drivers.nl

NGO Drivers : www.ngohq.com

Catalyst : www.ati.com

Give em all a try and see wich fits you best.
