Sneaky barstools.

Does any one have this fabled driver per chance? The thought of putting that 8800u along side the 3870x2 has definintely aroused me Mind you, the 8800u is quite probably history.

the 257.15 Beta ForceWare driver set from NVIDIA accidently had the ability for ATI users to again use an NVIDIA card as a second to do PhysX. The whole ordeal created a bit of drama around the web; as soon as it was discovered by NVIDIA they yanked the driver and put another one up that disabled the ability.

In the last page, score table - do you think 'Price' column is actually appropriate at all to this gpu? That you given it a wrong score is not what I think. Scoring it on price is what i think makes the review look not properly done?

Found it on hotfile. Grabbing now. Could be well worthwhile putting my 8800u in there if its not toast.

i dont know if you've seen the vid for the review. But he actually mentions its a nightmare to run crossfire with them. And mentions the many BsoD he gets.

Well the 10.7 drivers are comming out soon, so hopefully that will add stability. make sure to get the drivers and the profiles. And also, invite me over to gawk at them!

Its the Ares drivers not the normal CAT 7's fella.

Well I hope they update the ares drivers just as often as catalyst. Are they atleast based of the stock ATI 1s?
