Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Well I decided to try the catalyst 5.6, with Catalyst Control Center ( before: catalyst 5.1 with control panel ).
Installation - no problems.
Significant boost to 3DMark05: 5515 to 5720
Thought I would stick with these drivers, BUT these drivers significantly prolong computer boot-up...
Anandtech was not too impressed with the Catalyst 5.6 drivers:
"We just feel that if a performance gain isn't going to show under most conditions (not the least of which is heavy load) than it doesn't have a very large impact on user experience. "
"It goes...
According to the "inquirer", this new driver, which is supposed to be released June 6, will not only offer the usual minor bug fixes..., but will give a major performance increase to PC games:

New Catalyst 5.6 to give big boost to PC games...
Indoor cat.
Removing the claws may be the answer; but I am hoping to get a cat from the SPCA - and I understand de-clawing can only be done up to a certain age.
I wonder if anyone has experience with cats (who still have their claws) in the home, and LCD screens.
"will ur cat attack ur TV if u have one at home?"
I don't know; that's why I am asking.
But a cat is unlikely to damage a glass TV screen; but an LCD screen is more fragile.
I know this is a bit of an unusual thread.
I have 2 LCD's - I am thinking of getting a cat.
So people with cats (and LCDs):
Are the LCD's in danger?
Do cats tend to attack (scratch) LCDs particularly if they see images they find interesting?
If you have an ATI video card, the answer is no.
You need a program like ultramon to be able to display different wallpapers on the two monitors.
If you have an nvidia video card, I'm not sure what the answer is.
"just buy from dell
they have the best deals and best return policy"
I also agree.
Why would you want to take a chance of getting a monitor with a few stuck pixels right in the middle?
Dell will take it back.
"Do any of you that have the cursor lag happen to have their video card hooked up to 2 monitors?"
I have 2 LCD's (Dell 2005FPW, Viewsonic VX800) hooked up to 1 x800xt video card.
No cursor lag.
I have a 2005fpw - and before deciding to go with this, I was also considering the 2001fp.
But wide screen I think is the future - and wide screen video just looks fantastic on the 2005.
