    Yep...this is why I am holding off installing them until I see them appear on ATI's official download page; I am not going to be using a pre-release driver package that has absolutely no release notes.

    :( strange no 4530 on the ATI downloads , you could try the 4550 , but even when modded , there is no 4530 in the .inf files , you might have to force a 4550 with the have disk methord. :mad:

    I had my HD3650 running as a HD4570 , no problems at all, the extra 400 points did come in handy also.

    I read that you can select your card as an HD3200 and you will still get the same HD4530 performance, I think it was E-wrecked, one of his threads anyway.

    It just shows as an HD4570 in the Device manager.

    I think it was just the drivers i was using E-wrecked bored mod 9.3 gives me 400 more points in 3dmark06 but it shows as an HD4570, than any other driver for some reason i haven't been able to figurer out.

    I PM E-wrecked for an answer , but did not get a response. :(

    It appears that he is banned. So, using the 4570 driver bumped your score in 3dmark06. Any actual performance gains in gaming?
