    not sure if they are posting the mobility ones this month so I thought I'd post this, since grims 10.9 port helped immensely for me.

    Would the modded .inf file work for a 5850 as well or would the .inf file have to be changed somehow? Thanks!

    Awesome :cool: :eek: Thanks Chiefs. Dling them now oles! ;) :D

    Will post back later with any game performance results and stuff.

    How is everyone else finding them?
    So these are just desktop leaked 10.10b drivers that have been modded to work for our notebooks right?
    The real Slim shaddy mobility AMD 10.10s aren't standing up yet?

    Will the REAL SLIM SHADDY please stand UP!

    Cheers. :)

    tried it. I didn't see any difference in SC2, Crysis Warhead, Metro 2033, BFBC 2, and Resident evil 5 benchmark. Lost performance in Arcania gothic 4 15-20FPS difference.

    Depends on the driver your using and also which C++ files you have installed.

    On the older drivers I never used to see any CTDs however after on the newer drivers I started seeing a couple.

    Yeh same here hey chiefs. I'm waiting for AMD to do something. Cause its quite shocking how all you guys keep having errors and problems in games. Where some do and some don't. + overall performance could be better in many games. They should join Nvidia and help test the games so that they all will run better.

    Cheers. :)

    Not sure yet chiefs. I haven't had a chance to connect up to an external. I might give it a go later and play some MOH Tier 1 on the big tele oles. I've got a killer headache atm though so don't really feel like doing much.

    I'll let you know how I go though chiefs.
    Still no sign of the one we've all been waiting for though ey. Mr AMD mobility 10.10
    Where are you olessssssss???? ;) ;) :p

    Dam this headache. Wheres my panadol rapid.

    Oles chiefs. Actually I was running the external monitor and tele fine I remember now last time. I used it on my Sony Bravia tele and ACer external monitor. All worked fine. I haven't tried it with this new 10.10 beta driver though. If it doesn't work I'm not to fussed seeing as it was a proper driver for us anyway. It was just a desktop modded driver to install on our notebooks.

    However where the **** are our AMD 10.10 Mobility drivers. CMONNNNNNNNNNN............................

    Cheers. :)

    I'm sure I read that ATI/AMD release the new drivers at the end of each month.

    Let's hope that 10.10 really makes up for not having a 10.9 release...
