They happen to provide a jump in 3DMark Vantage scores... At least 500 points in the GPU section...

Re: Catalyst 8.11 RC1 (8.542) for download
Since they are not released from an ATI source the could be anything. Installing a driver from an unknown source is a great potential risk to any system. While I'd expect these to be okay I feel it's worth saying since these packages are usually presented without any information. Personally I hope that ATI quiets the source of the latest leak, if they're not going to put out betas for download themselves.

Since the drivers are hosted in Megaupload I assume that some one is wanting more downloads to those files since he gets more "free" premium membership time in megaupload ...

Re: Catalyst 8.11 RC1 (8.542) for download
oh man...

this is my only refuge from the 8.9 HOTFIX...
it looks like ATI are not going to make an HOTFIX for my HD2600 PRO AGP...

mmmm... it works nice, but i don't love the idea of using only BETA or RCs for AGP support...

Maybe you need more assurance

I've tested these Driver and I have to say I am really IMPRESSED!

I get about 10% more fps in Crysis (1920, VeryHigh) - went from 20 to 22fps

about 5% more in COD4 (1920, max Details) -from 68 to 73fps

and about 45% more in Bioshock (1920, max Details) - from 70 to 100fps (!!)

WOW

(compared to the Farcry2 Hotfix!)

8.11 Cats will be AWESOME for Unreal Engine Games!!!
