    The only ones I had problems with were the ones below 10.3 (GSOD) but iIrc 10.4 solved (at least for me). After that I didn't notice any bugs.
    Notice any grammar or spelling mistakes? Feel free to correct me! Thanks

    Apparently they forgot to include the BC2 fixes in these set of drivers despite what the release notes suggests

    Careful with installing these - some users (including me) are getting BSODs on reboot after installing.

    30 passes Linpack stable, 24hrs Prime95 stable, 4hrs Furmark stable. No other driver package causes issues.

    Finally got these to install correctly. Took three tries, running an express uninstall of all ATi software and DriverSweeper in between.

    To anyone wanting to try these out, I'd recommend completely uninstalling all ATi software (via Cat Install Man), including all Crossfire app profile updates, running DriverSweeper, rebooting, installing Cat 10.6, rebooting, installing Crossfire app profile update. That was what eventually worked for me.

    Edit: from reading replies in AMD forum thread it seems BSOD on reboot errors are mostly experienced by those running Crossfire. I note that both posters here experiencing this (Logue above and I) are running Crossfire setups.

    Man, I tried these, not a good thing... Had to use system restore to get back to desktop. BC2 framerates went from 60-70 to 20 with the 10.6 wdm, using the 10.6 preview drivers it goes back up to 60-70. This is with my 5830's crossfired runnin eyeinfinity @ 5760x1200.....

    ok, it worked for me also using Driver Sweeper

    did normal uninstall then reboot -> driver sweep to remove leftover ati files & reboot -> install 10.6 & reboot

    from http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=2271776 P30379

    to http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=2195167 P32167 O_O

    oh, and this drivers seem to mess up with gta4:



    can't increase any graphic settings ! the game thinks I don't have enough memory !

    I'll let you know

    I like to uninstall->reboot into safe mode->driver sweeper->reboot->install->reboot->install CF files->reboot and start up some BFBC2

    Edit:

    Drivers working great, CF seems to be better to me. NO BSODs

    Interesting, I wonder what the common thread is. Bunch more posters over at the AMD forums are experiencing BSOD issues, so it's clearly a real issue.

    I had a BSOD on reboot when installing the Cat 10.6 betas and assumed it was due to beta drivers. I not have the 10.6 Official and only updated the drivers without using driver cleaner.

    No issues, and I run Crossfire 4890's

    For some reason, right after I installed 10.6, my second 5870 is disabled in CCC and there's no option in the drop down menu (anymore) for crossfire settings.

    Is anyone else experiencing this?
