[Computer Base]ATi Radeon HD 4870 X2 Cat 9.x + GTX 295 review

[SKYMTL]

The driver is available to the public (42, the answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything!) : http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...6&postcount=42

The driver is not available anywhere on the AMD site from what I can see and in that respect is not available to the public. Granted, someone with access to the AMD FTP seems to have gone and posted it on various file sharing sites but that is by no means "public".

As for the other comments regarding the beta nature of the drivers used it is as simple as this: the GTX 295 needed beta drivers for the preview or it wouldn't work. Simple as that.

On the other hand I had so many issues with the HD 4870 X2 drivers sent to us before the GTX 295 launch that I basically gave up trying to use them. They weren't even close to final and including them in a review would have been pointless at best. Calling them a "9.1" beta is like calling a Yugo a Ferrari. They are 8.12 drivers with a few bits and numerous bugs tacked on and nothing more.
