Yay, finally working one for Vista 64-bit. Rflair's Vista 64-bit ones were corrupt.

Worked flawless here. I dunno but every single driver rflair posts works way better for every time I try ´em. Ive tried DNA, oficial ASUS and those uploaded from ATI. Until now I get even more fps on games for everytime with rflair, can it be their not signed?

The files' date is 5/16 for official release and rflair's one is 5/5. Some files' size is different. So, I think the official one is much newer.

I'll upgrade today to 9.6 but I'd like to ask something. I use to play COD 4 online. Every time, the game freezes for a few seconds, then i can hear my 4870 fan reving up and down and then the game continues. After a while same happens again. As soon as i exit the game when i finish, i get a system message that the graphics driver stop responding and that has recovered. I have 9.5 installed. And sometimes when it freezes in the game, i get BS!! What could be the problem. The temperature of the card ast 70% fan speed is 65 degrees. No overclocking

if you were running Vantage then no, it was running fine at my end this morning.

I might give 9.6 another chance now that the official ones are out. I just did uninstalling of rflair's which were giving nothing but problems. They didn't even want to uninstall proper.

Took me ages to get 8.12 properly running. I was getting what, three 4870X2s registered on my device manager. Wtf.

Even screwed up my desktop layout.

Are these official drivers the same as the beta ones posted a few days ago?

They are newer.

Dark-Colonel

These work great, Crysis Warhead and Demigod running solid and smooth (as before).

Sticking with them.

This drivers fixed UT3 black screen problem for me it's my first time gaming on Windows 7 64 and am surprised I was able to max out the game out an get 60fps on 32" screen

So are they the same as the betas we've been using or are they updated?
