I am not pleased. I have been running xp for years, I just bought a 5870 and installed windows 7 rc 64 bit. I used the drivers from ati site for the 5870. Diablo II locks up at times. Call of duty 4 will not play in multiplayer mode, only single player. I tried drivers from the cd, same thing. I would go back to xp, but I see there is no xp driver for the 5870. This is lame, and I am not sure who is at fault, windows 7, or ati. I like upgrading so that the 2 games I play, don't work on my new fancy hardware and OS.

The Xp drivers on the disc work fine for XP but I haven't tried the same games as you play. You can also search out the RC7 driver, it also comes in XP flavour though I haven't tested it yet

He just said he installed Windows 7.
OP.... try the 8.66 beta drivers off of guru3d. I am running Win 7 64bit with my 5870 and I am playing COD4 and COD5 with zero issues. The beta's will show an MSI icon but igonre that because they work with all the 5870's. Did you have your CPU overclock already before the new card and Win7 install? I would make sure your OC is completely stable with Prime95 and let it run for about 8 hours strait. Keep an eye on temps. I assume your video OC is stock until the issues are resolved?
It's not clear that it's the actual video card either.
This is why I asked about his overclock and previous setup before the ATI. Trying to help him narrow down the problem.
I am sure my oc is stable. I have run linpack many, many runs with no issue. This just began with windows 7 and card install.
You could always drop down to stock clock to rule it out. Give those latest beta drivers a try off of guru3d.

Your COD issue could be related to punkbuster. Make sure it is up to date as there were previous issues with it and Windows 7. http://websec.evenbalance.com/downloader/download.php?file=1
Try the MSI 9.10 beta drivers. They work fine for me. They have drivers for both Win7 and WinXP.
