Just curious if there is any performance increase/decrease compared to the 4.11 and 4.10 drivers. I have a x800pro 256mb agp card.

I'm using them but I've done ZERO gaming since I got this card (same as you). I hear they fix the 256MB bug in gaming scenarios. The official Cat 4.11s will be out soon then I'll do a fresh install and see what the games look like.

i've read from another forum that some people ran into a lot of bugs with the 4.10

i'd stay away from those

ive been using the beta 8.07 w/o problems so it seems so far

I got the latest DNA drivers that take the best parts out of 8.07 and out of 4.10. And they are jamming on performance. I think you can get them at guru3d

I've been using these for quite some time in the form of Omega 2.5.90. They are working well for me. I got these before 4.10 came out, and never switched to 4.10 based on the feedback I saw about 4.10.

I believe they are like 4.10 with fewer bugs. I wouldn't expect too much of a performance difference compared to 4.10.

I have Catalyst 4.09 with the 8.07 betas installed. This is the only ATI driver combination that doesn't lock up my system when I play Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory with PunkBuster.
