Anyone else notice that [H] and Anand seem to be the only reviews around that uses the 7.10 cat's? Did they use some sort of magic to get that working or were other sites too lazy to go beyond the CD that came with the cards? The 7.10s were AMD's "performance" drivers so I'm not really sure how comparable some of these benches are. The CD drivers are reported as 7.9s but I'm not sure what that other version really relates to (the 8.43 number), maybe that's got some of the 7.10 tweaks in it? Wish they could stick to one numbering convention, it's really all over the place with AMD: I've got the 7.9 and 7.10 packages from AMD's site that also have ANOTHER version number at the end, 52443 and 53250.
Well that wouldn't be the first time - from time to time i somewhere elst then AT or [H] but usually i just get bored by the obvious cut'n paste from the spinndoctors presentations or disgusted by the amout of banners... AT and [H] are basically the only "mainstream enthusiast" hardware sites around. I mean [H]ard'nuff to tell me something and still not over my head. So Im not surprised that they have the skill/patience to get things to work - acctually I expect it from them. And the best of it all is that they are complements to each other not competitors
