I'm playing Assassin's Creed 2, GTA4 and EFLC, Dirt 2, NBA 2k10 and Pro Evo 2010.

my current ones are:
Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0716
OpenGL Version 6.14.10.9236

These are the ones from the Sager website at the moment.

there's a 10.6 unofficial drivers but they work well with no problems... BF BC2 works well with them.. search on the forum.. u'll find a thread for it.

The official 10.4 are fine also as they allow for quick load times in BC2 if that's what you were worried about.

The leaked drivers sean was talking about are now as accepted being leaked 10.5 going with the numbers. 10.4 is driver 8.73 and the leaked drivers are 8.74.

Both drivers run fine without problems on the HD5870M but the 8.74 leaked drivers are the entire package. ATi drag and drop, hydravision, HDMI Audio etc are all included. The offical 10.4 are only drivers and CCC.

I dont' know why AMD refuses to provide a full driver package for Mobile yet...
