I installed the 4.11 last nite and while my machine actually booted properly HL2 started to behave badly, VERY strange texture problems in game.

Logged out of HL2 and messed with the settings in the drivers, the driver configuration window locked up and had to be killed with task manager. The 3 executables that were being used by the ATI driver were using almost 100 meg of memory.

Yet another reason why my next card will *NOT* be an ATI card.
3 different driver installs, 3 different headaches. ATI needs to sack their driver team and start again.

lol. Sadly to say I have had no issues. Yet Im not even going to bother installing HL2 on my nvidia box, because Ive had horrid issues with them.

Whatever people like to think, the 2 are pretty darn equal in driver quality, its a case by case issue. Ive never had an issue with ATis, but I always seem to have issues on my GF4.

unfortunately, the 9800 Pro/XT and below don't profit from the new drivers with a performance boost.
I've tested it and performance was around 1-3% better or worse depending on the game.

But I'd suggest updating the drivers because of compatibility.

not true here. 4.11s boosted mine from 41-43K in Aqua to the nearly 48K. 3DMark05 is also at about 2550 instead of about 2200. [/b][/quote]
agreed here! with 4.11 cata....i gained 3000 points with aquamark03......
