As well as the fix, there also seem to be reports of "Big Gains" across several applications too for thohse unafflicted by the specific issue but curious about trying them

Its highly reccomended for anyone with 256mb cards, as it fixes an issue with memory addressing, which seems to offer a significant boost in performance (over 1000 marks in 3dMark 05)

Is this 9.1 different to the Catalyst 4.9 drivers which I only recently installed. because when I installed them I was amazed at the performance increase I got in every 3d game I owned. I actually went through all my games, especially ones which lagged a little at high specs and they were much improved. Now no game lags or stutters.

Pity I had to put up with my card's inferior drivers for the last 6 months or more but now my computer is flying along and Doom3 is is smooth as a babies *** :x

So does this 9.1 give more increase for 256mb cards?

I wish these cat versions had better file names, I have downloaded so many I am having a hard time keeping up with them.:rolleyes:

Apparently so, particularly for the R420, not seen any numbers for the R9xxx cards though

Are you guys installing this right over the top of the existing drivers?? 21mb file seems like a whole driver package.....not just a hotfix....LOL.

Yep...it is a whole new driver and yes you can just install it over the top of the old ones with no problems.
