    Ok.. Here's the link to the ATI 9.1 Catalyst Drivers! Not sure how many of you keep up with this, but this driver is WAY late! It's about time.. I will begin modding a driver ASAP - the only thing holding me back? ATI is still messing around, and they have the page just not the proper files! OMG! This is the Cat download page advertising 9.1 - BUT IT's 8.12! Anyhow, I assume that in 44 minutes(12AM Pacific Standard time), the download will be updated. In the meantime, this is where to download the newest driver! I hope it's amazing, cause they have kept us waiting for quite some time.

    If you're impatient, mob mod the driver to install. Otherwise, new thread with E-wrecked's Bored Mod will be available as soon as this driver is. :D

    Thanks in advanced E-wrecked. What's the greatest benefit from updating to these drivers?

    re-posting links.. they appear legit - but I'm suspicious

    They performed within 1 point of my 8.12 3dmark benchmark.. odd. And, something just doesn't seem right. Anyhow..give it a shot if you like, will post modded version when ATI releases their official version.

    Flextronics still hasn't released anything since their revision of the 8.54 drivers though have they?

    ^^ correct. the new revision that was supposed to be released stinks imo. but its not a "release" software its for engineering at this time only but it performs worse than the previous one did
