   I also saw some improved Rift performance with these drivers... again. Seems I say that after every new Catalyst release.

   Over a dozen bugs have been address across Windows 7 and XP

   I find it very funny that Nvidia's drivers never have that many at once. So they never get addressed because they don't exist.

   Yah actually I typically do. And most of them are either very minor or they don't have many at all.

   I read their release notes for 266.58 and there were at least as many as AMD's diver's. But I have not had an Nvidia card, so for all i know you could be right.

   Typically they're lower. Also I do have to give credit to AMD they never have had issues that kill gpus. AKA the nvidia fan software fiasco.

   I build gaming systems for a living, and nearly all are SLI/Crossfire. I have no more problems with one over the other. Call it anecdotal evidence if you like, but it's one hell of a lot of anecdotal evidence. So the" red drivers suck, and are way behind of the green drivers" and vice versa is pure fanboyery

   it may take Radeon a driver set to catch up to TWMTBP games, but that is about it.... and yes, I just made up a word.

   What rubbish is all I have to say about that comment.

   I agree my experience has been much the same.

    I've owned both companies cards over the years and although ATI drivers used to be clunky and unrefined compared to the Nvidia ones there isn't that large gap in quality nowadays. I wouldn't avoid ATI/AMD graphics solutions just because of the driver software.

    I think it was for all 5xxx series

    I just installed 11.2, but now I am continuously getting errors whenever I try to run any game/benchmark about atiuxpag.dll or atiadlxy.dll not being compatible with Windows. I've uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers and Catalyst Control Center several times, but no luck. Aren't updates supposed to fix problems? lol

    Anyone else having issues with their 5770... I first updated my driver through Steam, so I just uninstalled the Catalyst Control driver from them downloaded and installed it from the AMD website and viola, all controls for the 5770. =)

    yes, the new driver is awesome;my fps rose to 75 from 60 at ultra, and when i turn on supersampling, it drops my fps by 20 instead of 30 now
