    THIS PROVES MY POINT MR MODERATOR ARGHHH!

    sorry about that,lol.
    thanks for posting AGAIN HTWingNut.

    posted these here and in the gaming thread on release day like ive done for the last 3 years but some bright spark moderator (think thats what he was) decides to merge and delete the thread and pm me with a warning that i was breaking forum rules for multi posting.

    would just like to thank Charles P Jefferies publicly for sorting this out and service will resume as normal on the next release :)

    feedback so far on these can be found > HERE and theres quite a lot of happy 485 owners at last.

    Vs stock it's huge especially dragon age 2. Vs the modded 270.51 set not much difference.

    At the earliest Monday because release date says 4/18. Doesn't mean it posted 4/18 either.

    i posted it at 5.21 on 18th and then some bright spark moderator deleted it as id also posted it in the gaming thread as well and he decided it was against forum rules even though ive done the same for the last 3 years.

    anyways these drivers are good ones at last.

    I tend to stick with WHQL over the last couple of years only because of various issues with early release ones. Glad to see we'll at least get occasional support.
