    Alright! The anticipation of this patch is much like waiting for BF3.

    HT, can you please do me a favour?

    After you DL that exe, does it DL another file? If so, could you please upload it to me so I can install the drivers?

    It's only 23MB so something can't be right. Usually pre-releases are like 120MB+

    Maybe it's still uploading? Maybe the whole file isn't up yet.

    I doubt it will take them long to upload since it's probably local to them, takes all of a second to upload it. And I'm sure they wouldn't make the page available until it was ready.

    Just be patient. I'm sure they'll correct it before too long.

    Does it have mobile support? :p

    Still error around here too.
    Btw, a bit of off-topic here: which tool do you guys use to OC your ATI mobile GPU? The only one I can use is the AMD GPU Clock Tool but with that one I can't save a profile and then I need to set the clocks again each time I shutdown the computer...

    My problem is that with MSI Afterburner I can't change the clocks. It seems they are locked to default, the only thing I can do is lower them :p
    I already searched for solutions but nothing worked...

    I can't believe it was because of EULA part. Shame on me! Anw, is it worth to disable PowerPlay?

    Thank you, btw!

    From Twitter:

    @cavemanjim: megaupload of #AMD #Catalyst 11.10 preview BF3 driver - bit.ly/r398JG

    Anyone has installed the megaupload version ? Does it work with mobile?

    Edit: they doesn't seem to work on mobile

    Edit2: at least it didn't install a new driver for me, only something else, my systems still recognize 11.8 driver actually

    Edit3: better to wait for the official release of this preview

    [AIO] AMD Catalyst 11.10 Preview (8.901.0) Win7.7z

    Nicest mod to a driver I've seen so far for mobility. No stupid self advertisements like asder does. And no need to do any stupid driver enforcement work arounds like DNA drivers.

    Awesome, just works without any aggravations and annoyances.

    I'm installing it right now. I hope it works fine. I'll let you know in some minutes.

    Thanks for the link.

    I tried the driver, but overclocks aren't working. Using AMD GPU clock tool, first attempts gave "not modified" notification. GPUz reads OC, but OC is definitely not enabled as JC2 bench results are basically the same. I got 32.8 stock 700/1000 and 33.8 @ 750/1100. [Previous results usually gave 5-6fps boost with other drivers @ 750/1100]

    Edit: Using MSI: AB, OC works... doesn't seem the best driver for Just Cause 2, AvP #s about the same.

    OverDrive and the drivers are working fine. As I always say, don't blame the tool, blame the fool. Blaming AMD and their drivers is getting really old. Not only is my overclock and overdrive is working, it's the fastest Crysis benchmark I've ever gotten so far.

    I use Sapphire Trixx because the OC range for my 5870 on Afterburner and Overdrive only goes up to 860 core

    How did you get AMD Overdrive? Do you have to use mobility modded drivers or something?

    "Clock controls" show up in my CCC but that's for my CPU only... No overdrive for my GPU (6750m).

    You can modify the range of your OC in MSI Afterburner. Mine now goes up to 920 or somthing like that.

    I don't use it at such high clocks tho.
