OMG.

Do not upgrade to these drivers with a 9600 Pro card. EVERYTHING while i'm on my desktop renders at a snail's pace. Some things aren't even being rendered.

I rolled back to the Cat 3.9's - everything is perfectly normal.

Did you do an install over the 3.9's, or a clean install (using driver cleaner, etc.) ???

Tried both. Usually installing over the driver's works well because ATI's drivers clear the current drivers out (but leave a cache in case you need to rollback the driver).

I will try them out on my 9600pro when I get home and see if I get the same results.

Friend has 9600 PRO. He did not have that problem.

I will be installing on my 9800 Pro later on

I will try it too....do you have a link by chance or should I just go to http://www.ati.com?

Installed them after cleaning out all old drivers, and no issues so far. Loaded up BF for a little single player testing, and no problems to report......will stress test tonight after I get some more packing done........

I'll wait for the omega's...

ugggh......OMega drivers have been nothing but nightmares for me.....I'm fairly sure they killed my 9700pro (yes, it was o/c'd), since the exact same thing occured to my 9800pro, brand new non-overclocked, only the 9800pro recovered from it....I'll never use 'em again.....

I found the source of the problem I have. The ATI control panel was causing everything to render very slowly - so I downgraded back to the 3.9 Cat's (still with 3.10 control panel just to test) and it still rendered slowly.

Then I completely uninstalled every ATI driver file, reloaded my Cat 3.9's and everything is running great.

well, I played for 3-4hrs. tonight, no problems whatsoever.....maybe something else is the culprit evan, dunno......gotta love how consistent hardware and drivers are!
