    I tried to upgrade to latest driver for the 5870m but is there really a new driver installed or just a catalyst control center update?

    If I go to rightclick-screenresolution-advanced-adapter-properties-driver it says:

    Driver Date: 19.12.2012
    Driver Version: 9.12.0.0


    I went back to a really old version and then updated with the latest package and still the same.
    So is there no newer driver for the 5870m but just controlcenter updates?

    Yes, but what it says in the device-manager is what is used on the system.

    I have had former experience of driver packages that only updates the controlpanel and not the driver itself so basically I would like to know what everyone else has as latest driver. If its not too much trouble.

    Information - software:
    Driver Packaging Version - 9.012-121219a-151587C-ATI
    Catalyst Version - 13.1
    2D Driver Version - 8.01.01.1278
    Direct3D Version - Direct3D Version
    OpenGL Version - 6.14.10.12002
    Catalyst Control Center Version - 2012.1219.1521.27485

    Here's the 13.2 Beta 7 info, if you want to download that and install (as I mentioned in your other post). Your ones look a little old. I have had the same problem of packages not updating drivers, just control panel too. The fix for me was to install a different package.

    Driver Packaging Version 12.10.17-130226a-153761E-ATI
    Catalyst Version 13.2
    Provider Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
    2D Driver Version 8.01.01.1295
    Direct3D Version 9.14.10.0960
    OpenGL Version 6.14.10.12172
    Catalyst Control Center Version 2013.0226.1356.24951

    Alright now I have the same info as you in the CCC.

    Furthermore, the info in device-manager says:
    Driver Date: 26.02.2013
    Driver Version: 12.100.17.0

    Sweet, now on to see if Bioshock still works :D
