In the Options tab of the ATi control panel, what are the first three digits of the "Packaging Version"?

Post em back here and i'll let you know what version you're using

8.05-040727a-017086E

but the thing is its for a friend and i dont know his packaging codes i will tommorow ill post back then aswell thanks.
so there is no-where in windows actually telling you either catalyst 4.3 or 4.7, exactly like that?

Rivatuner smight be able to tell you, dunno, i dont use it anymore.

Simply putting those first three digits into google shoudl turn up an answer as ATi uses a naming system based around x.xx

8.05 = Cat 4.9b
8.04 = Cat 4.8b
8.03 = Cat 4.7
8.02 = Cat 4.6

and so on, though the pattern has been known to change on occasion

They didn't. Still in the same place.

I'm using beta's hence the long naming string in my version (i.e. 8.05xxxxxx vs. 4.9)
