    Excellent timing, I'll hold off on installing new drivers in my new machine until these are finished and due a whole before/after comparison.

    Using Vista 32bits on my M17 crossifre 3870, do you think I should wait for the specific M17 drivers or will I see improvements with the general driver ? I think I tried it a few days ago buy he was not installed even though it seems to be detected upon setup....

    no just get the 9.1 for right now its the best out thats stable

    I have now installed 9.1 following Mr. Moo advise...... I wonder if I should try 9.2 now that its='s yet optimized for the M17 with 3870.....

    ....My main issue is Flight Simulator X... I believe I won't get any big improvements before the HD4870 is not released..... Maybe the 9.2 will bring something.....

    yea you will not get any real big gains just 1-3 fps a driver if that. The 9.2 has been shown to raise 3dmark06 scores by 200 alone but i haven't read alot on game benchmarks.

    must install 9.2 driver and when it gives the error exit and

    Download this file, and unzip to
    ATI\SUPPORT\9-2_vista32_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_75976\
    Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH_INF, and overwrite the old one.

    Then install the driver. (vista 32 bit

    Vista is giving me hell when I try to install video drivers no matter where I got them. I downloaded 9.2 from ATI's website and nothing installs but CIM when i run setup. No drivers found, no CCC, nothing. I can manually install them in device manager, but why would I have to do that if the installer is supposed to do everything? I redownloaded them twice and tried again after a clean vista install but the same thing happens. Also can someone with working 9.2 drivers post their gpu-z screenshot?

    Did that last night while trying 3 different .infs :p

    Still no luck. Can probably get 9.2 to work if i tried but the main issue is to get it to work without the scaling issue.

    What about 3DMark06? I heard that the new 9.2 should increase the score ... but does 9.2 outperform the AW driver?

    Why settle for 9.1 when you can download 9.2?
