May I present to you (an otherwise, most excellent find, if you ignore the nay-sayer below) the Catalyst WHQL ATI 9.8 drivers in both x32 and x64 flavors. These feature great support for newer (and older games) and a much-needed interface improvement for the Catalyst Control Center. Enjoy. ;)

Going to wait a week to let them work out the kinks in the drivers =)

How did you guys install the new GPU drivers, just execute the EXE and let it do its job? I remember in the past there's always the uninstall the old drivers and the software fully, reboot, then reinstall the new drivers.

You have to wait at least until a new Cat release for any kinks to be seriously worked out - even then it might take a few releases ;)

Everybody's experience varies with installing Cat drivers. Sometimes it's as straight forward as installing straight over the top without uninstalling the previous drivers first.

If that doesn't work, then uninstalling/cleaning before installation is the next best method.

This release installed straight over the top for me. With other releases I've had to brute force the entire process.
