I'm willing to bet they still suck for THPS like the entire 6 series has

They may be leaked drivers......I've seen similar releases on torrent websites (maybe from guys that work at ATI, I dunno) Hey Mr. Pink if you try em PM me and let me know...thanks much

ATI drivers suck. After I switched to my 7900GS and installed the latest nvidia drivers, all my problems went away (crashes in games, crash to desktop on sythetic benchmarks, and the .CLI process using 100% of both my cores

). But I do miss the image quality; my old x800gto2 put out better images than this GS I have now, weird.
I just hope their new Linux drivers will be on par with nvidia's (one can always dream).

Yeah, that's real great for you. I've been using them for the last 3 years and no problems yet. Perhaps some particular bold words in my quote apply to drivers as well

My Windows installation is rather old (+1yr.) and due for an overhaul, so that may have been the problem (a software conflict with the drivers). But the fact is that all my issues went away when I got rid of the ATI drivers. And it wasn't the card either, because I switched to an old x800gto before I got this GS up and running. It's a known fact that stock ATI drivers are very bloated and can cause software conflicts (as all bloated software can); nvidias drivers are lighter (that does not mean they don't have issues as well, particularly with image quality). ATI Linux drivers are not that bad, but they do have several issues which the nvidia drivers do not. Of course, I would like to see better ATI Linux drivers since my laptop has an ATI chip.

My sig was not meant to insult anyone, it was simply meant to state what I believe. If you take insult from it that's your own fault.
Here's my FAQ, among others which you can find by clicking the FAQ button under my rep.
How to optimize ATI drivers to save resources
1) Hit Start -> Run. Type msconfig -> enter.
2) Uncheck the highlighted box and hit OK.

3) Hit Start -> Run. Type services.msc -> enter.
4) Find the ATI hotkey poller and disable it (Note: This will disable 3D clocks on Raden X1K series cards)

5) Now reboot and you will have four to five less running process in task manager and the drivers will still be fully functional (including the controll center)
