**xguntherc** · 03-10-2009

yup, that is pretty sad. but the x2 is still very popular because if it's price.

Oh and I went ahead and tried the new 182.06 drivers. and they work like a charm, played CS for hours last night, and I also got my highest 3DMark06 score with them. I finally broke the 21k mark

The latest version is the 182.08 version.

**xguntherc** · 03-12-2009

Thanks brink!

Hi John, unfortunately they don't seem to have such an option in the CP, like the 185.20 had... but Burnout Paradise Ultimate Box runs quite good with Ambient Occlusion enabled in game itself. I don't know in which way it is implemented in the game, but I think it wouldn't run if it wasn't supported by the driver...

anyone try the 182.46 drivers yet??

Also, I went with the Extreme-G drivers last time before the 182, and the current 182.08's. and the Xtreme-G drivers messed my **** all up. I couldn't access my NV control panel for 4 days and couldn't use my new 260 in SLI for the first 4 days I had it cuz those drivers.

I'm sticking the Nvidia drivers for now on.

Anyone have anything to say about the .46?
