Well with there current 8.38 RC7's (released on the 22nd) I hope they fix it more because it went down anywhere from 25% to 183% at least from the 8.38 RC2's (released on the 14th).

**Lane-k** · 05-23-2007, 06:53 AM

Well we will see.. personally i wait some better optimisation, but like i know ATI drivers evolution, i know there's a lot of luck we will need 2-3 drivers in more: remember the X1K series..

Anyway it's 17h00 here (GMT+1), So it's only morning in US/Can.. we can wait a little bit more i think..

**gunit** · 05-23-2007, 06:56 AM

who said it was gonna be released today anyways, ATI?

**Lane-k** · 05-23-2007, 07:19 AM

I was ask me same the same thing.. it was more around the 23 ? is this date is really fixed..( i try remember if i have not read too 25 somewhere...).. If i was at the place of catalyst crew, i will try give a good driver, so i will let them time for do it..one day more or one week more is not a problem at all..

there is No 8.38 for Windows XP , i already tryed all of them (RC´s)

All of them are for mobility x2400 & X2600

And the 8.38 RC for Vista i think its the same mobility x2400 & X2600 driver with MODDED INF.

There is beta RC 2 and RC 7 for XP and Vista. Trust me I'm using RC 2 currently on my computer and its a full install. Its not the ones you guys downloaded with the ATI symbols for the file icon, its an AMD logo and it decompresses them to an AMD directory not an ATI one. The Vista drivers are 50-70 megs and the XP drivers are 150-175Megs currently. The links here are for mobiles of course but they aren't the ones the 2900 needs.

I'll see if the guy will let me post links to them.

Added note the 8.38 RC2's preform a little better than the ones that are listed on ATI's site currently. Not much just a little, as well it doesn't fix the fog effect in HL2.

**Lane-k** · 05-23-2007, 08:22 AM

Agree with Deathman.. we know this beta driver was from Asus and for their next Laptop, specially based on Santa Rosa.. for their internal work..

Nothing special apparently, ask Tom.

**XeRo** · 05-23-2007, 11:26 AM

hmm So release should be tonight? That's the general feeling I got from the ocUK thread.

**mascaras** · 05-23-2007, 11:30 AM

yep so far +- same thing as 8.37

So now I think about it these could be dated compared to the finals that should come out tonight , still these are nice to have while we wait.

and he also said maybe the final driver should be released tonight

I read it from this article. I would take this to mean probably sometime next week is when we see the new driver.

**Lane-k** · 05-25-2007, 01:43 AM

I have got contact with AMD about a problem with driver, they send me the driver will come shortly.. I quote:
(Also try and install the next version of the Catalyst drivers when they are released shortly. (Catalyst 7.5)

**tristan** · 05-25-2007, 09:34 AM
