    Have you tried this one? You can even use a download manager to speed up the download :)

    BC2 loading times confirmed on my HD 5770. Now it's like 7s !!. I think there is some solid performance boost like 10-15FPS vs my old 10.3b drivers.

    OpenGL is 4.0. In CineBench 11.5 32bit (64bit got error) there is massive speed-up. 60,15 vs 38,44FPS with 10.3b. In other hand in Heaven 2.0 score is lower 4FPS on average.

    Will do some more test and share.

    could some1 plz make a statement if the loading times for BC2 only improved while running it DX9 ,or any DX mode ?! ,ty!

    - asking because i read about loading times in general and heared rumors it would only affect dx9 so i'd like to get a clear statement =)

    I run in DX10 and speed-up is massive.

    One thing I don't like with this drivers is IDLE clocks are 400/900 instead 157/300 MHz.

    if it actually only would fix it dx9-wise it's kinda useless...

    well...gonna try it later but seemingly my 4XXX Ati won't benefit ,since all of you reporting imp. loading times using 5xxx series :/

  16. Well, I've installed these drivers tonight and so far im not overly thrilled with the performance. I've only done a vantage bench, crysis, crysis warhead and dirt 2 at this stage but ive actually lost a few fps across the board. Before I installed these i was running the 10.3/4 opengl march 29 release set.

    All benches were run with cpu at 3.6Ghz, stock gpu clocks and CCC was set to Supersampling AA.

    Dirt 2 I couldn't get a screenshot of for some reason when i hit print screen it kept coming up blank.

    This was run at max settings DX11 8XAA (Supersampling) @1680x1050

    10.4OGL :
    Min : 73.6 Avg : 91.3

    10.X :
    Min : 70.3 Avg : 85.6

    So for me, across the board it's been slightly lower performance compared to the march 29 Open GL driver.

    One Question I do have regarding these drivers is does it automatically install the application profiles? Did it even have them bundled? 'cause i couldn't find them so therefore hadn't installed any application profiles which could cause the lower fps possibly.
     
  17. oh and here's The crysis benches.

    ok..these are keepers for me....i won 2 min fps in crysis and crysis warhead and 2 fps in average..though i lost 2 fps in max......(i don't care for that)

    unigine heaven 2 also upped fps, so...generally i am glad with these, my games play smoother(though i am facing something strange, color in games is warmer...:3eyes:, but in desktop is colder...:3eyes:...wtf..?!!?!?, ah and i have to mention dx11 performance and image/shadow/reflections are upgraded with 8.74...)far the fastest/stable driver package for me 'till the next one i am gonna try...:p:banana::)

    Hi, I am using Windows XP 32-bit...I have tried the installers in the main folder and in the Bin folder...everything successfully installs except the graphics driver....

    Am I doing something wrong?

    NOTE: I removed all traces of previous drivers by going into safe mode and using Driver Cleaner Pro.


    I have Radeon HD 4870...I play BFBC2 and I really would like to get these to work.
