We tested with the latest available testing driver from AMD which is 8.361 – and this is the shipping driver for Radeon HD 2900 XT. There is a new driver floating around but that is not entirely stable yet. We would not be surprised if AMD releases its Catalyst 7.5 monthly driver soon and that should probably see some performance improvements and fixes of known bugs. The driver that we are using now is not perfect and AMD has noted some known issues. For example, in some of our tests, the older Radeon X1950 XTX is actually faster than the HD 2900 XT – this is a driver issue and we hope AMD fixes the problems very soon.
