What is looks like to me is that ATI seeded the review sites with an alpha driver, with the correct profiles for the games they were using. I can match 3DMark06 for example, and some settings on COH, but most others are a bust.

    The reason I am thinking this is that a few review sites are getting the same results I am:

    http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...md,1992-4.html (pains me to link this )....

    They likely use drivers out of the box.... I am just not getting the high octane results I have seen on the other websites, even with the same HW supporting.

    EDIT: the actual driver version reported by catalyst is 8.52.6-080709a-048489c-ATI

    One hundred years from now It won't matter
    What kind of car I drove What kind of house I lived in
    How much money I had in the bank Nor what my cloths looked like.... But The world may be a little better Because, I was important In the life of a child.
