• It's a BETA!

Included Utilities:

i had some texture and lighting problems with this release.when i was walking or running in cod and css there was some tearing of the ground and walls and the lighting was going dim then bright.also i goy 55fps in css stress test instead of 105fps with the 2.2 set.i have no idea how to technically explain what was happening but i reinstalled the 2.2 release and all was good again.im not sure if it was a driver issue or a issue with ati tray tools setings.cant wait for the final release,hope this issue is fixed.later
