I'm running Catalyst 5.6 and my 3dmark01 scores went down by about 1000 after upgrading from the old 4.10 catalyst drivers. Catalyst Control Center IMO sucks. It's flaky as hell and is just a pain to navigate compared to the older drivers. I also didn't like having to dowloand and install MS .net framework BS just to tweak my video card settings. Are there any alternatives or should I just revert back to the old 4.10's ?
 
I am running Catalyst 5.7 with the standard control panel. Everything is perfect for me. This is a BBA 9800 Pro 128MB. I recently did a fresh install of windows with the 5.7's and 3dmark05 scores went up almost 100 points from cat 5.6's. I have had all of them and I think 5.7 are working the best for me.
 
Yeah, go with the CAT 5.7s. You should enjoy a bit of a speed boost thanks to enhancements to the driver's internal memory management for 64MB and 128MB cards. At least that's what ATi said. ;)
 
You do know you can get the drivers with the regular control panel instead, right? You don't have to use CCC.
