Did you grab the beta ATi drivers before they went down?
This is a discussion about Did you grab the beta ATi drivers before they went down? in the Everything New Technology category; Seeing that this is the 1st time in the entire catalyst program that beta drivers have leaked, I was wondering if anyone besides me was brave enough to try them and how your experiences were??

I haven't tried the newest ones but it isn't the first time they have been leaked. I've used beta catalyst drivers before.
but I'd be curious to here how they are working also..

What was supposed to be difrferent about them? I heard they were going to remove the 3dmarkxx hacks that falsely elevated the score (kind of like the stuff nvidia did)...anything else?

actually this was the 1st time actual internal catlyst drivers were leaked by ATI, these are not OEM drivers like some that have popped up.
I threw em on my system and they are running pretty good. It was said there wasnt going to be a big performance boost in these drivers like there was in the 3.4 drivers, mostly compatability and stability improvements. I threw em on and they are running fine, the one thing i noticed is that some of the display corruption problems seem to be resolved. I had some problems sometimes after i rebooted that I would get left over garbage in my video memory causing garbled displays, which was easily fixed by cutting the power to my system and turning it back on.
The official 3.5 catalyst drivers will be released monday June23rd.

since 3.4 have a ton of issues, i dont think i would trust some beta's.
