    Is there one better than the current official driver that's floating around on Guru3D?

    The 10.10e's were good for my 5850, so you could give them a try :)

    this is the best combo I can find atm, 10.12's flicker due to the low clocks on vista 32 anyway.

    I rarely have errors with my drivers but lately there have been some:

    10.10 - OK
    10.11 - A few "the driver has stopped responding" errors which Win7 handles itself. Occasional FPS spikes in OG while playing World of Warcraft.
    10.12 - No improved GUI present. Occasional FPS spikes in OG while playing World of Warcraft.

    Since I'm moving towards a CF configuration I guess I'll have to try VON modded drivers instead of 10.10 for optimal CF performerance.
