These are not from the official ATI website in the first post.

Thanks. Horrible speed, going to take 2 hours.

Do you have a link to where it's on the site besides the direct zip you can post?

Nope...

Sorry matey.

It's not 'officially' on Sapphire's web site yet.

Thanks anyway. I was checking for 9.12 throughout today, thought it might pop up soon.

No problem.

Let's hope we see lots of issues/bugs fixed

.

The good thing about waiting for the official on AMD is you can get the changelog.

Word has it that these set of drivers will improve the performance of HD 5800/5700 cards.

By how much?, I don't know.

Grain of salt, of course.

I don't see much of any performance increase with 9.12 at all with the tests I ran. A little bump in a video memory bandwidth benchmark is about it. Pretty much the same as 9.11 for me. :/

I did see some performance improvement(s) in Crysis and NFS: Shift.

They also fixed the Thermal Scope issues in MW2.

EDIT: Very solid IMO.
