    Hello All Im sitting here Waiting for my XFX 5770 to show up, and I thought I would look threw the forums to see which drivers would run the best for this card. I read that the 10.5 Drivers had Pretty good reviews over the 10.7 and 10.8 so would this be a good start for me. And the only Game im running is Bad Company 2 Thank You

    Yes .. 10.5 is awesome, better performer than 10.6/10.7/10.8 ..

    I've used a lot of drivers for BC2 only one that didn't lag was 10.5 anything newer would lag really bad

    Well I Driver Cleaner and installed the card with the 10.5 and ran Heaven Benchmark and got a 800 score compared to the 9800 that got 905 weird. Oh then I got a Blue Screen Hum, I might have to Reinstall Windows 7 again

    are you comparing dx10 with dx10 or dx11 with dx10? dx11 generally has lower framerates due to better image quality.

    ^That'd be my guess. I assume you can't run the dx11 test from a 9800 card. Remember you're getting all that yummy tessellation goodness now. :)

    As for drivers give 10.5a a whirl for a bit then give TwL's 3.95 a try.. the difference is night and day.

    I'm using crossfire and the best driver for BFBC2 for my setup is definitely 10.5 using the 10.8a app profiles. It is also a good combination for all the other games I play as well, Dirt2, ME2, Metro 2033, DOW2, Starcraft2 & L4D2.
