Does any know this includes the hotfix for the Powerplay bug that has been plaguing HD3000 people like me? They forgot to include it in Catalyst 8.4 since they released it right before those drivers.

Whoa, 10~30% added performance in Halo!!! :P

I wonder how that improvement happened... And how on earth did they notice? Are they still checking the new driver releases with such old games? If they are then I have even more respect for ATi/AMD.

wow, improvements for games that have been out for a over year now. at least my wimpy 8600gt had a huge driver improvements in many current games at the time not several months or over a year later. STALKER for example nearly doubled in framerate just a couple weeks after the 8600gt was released thanks to drivers. yes Nvidia may not release them very often but from the looks of ATI drivers seems to not really do very much for current games anyway.

Getting a bit tired of installing a new driver every month. Funny how that works. And I have to install the Theatre package too. Oh the humanity.
Edit: Sarcasm people, Sarcasm...

i'm really liking the windows/linux paired roll-out. i'm also really liking that we're apparently seeing a driver dev shop that has switched over to some kind of Agile methology.

A monthly driver roll out plan is one of the sweetest things since sliced bread.
