buwahahaha

I'm not at the box with the X1800 in it (I haven't put the X1900 in a box yet), else I'd install and give em a try. I'll wait for people's results before deciding whether I should use these for my benchmark runs.

Once someone gets them installed, post a CCC information screenshot. I want to compare these to the Dev version, and see how close they are.

Thanks OP. I'm glad I saw this early, the DL was flying until the last few megs when it started crawling.

Almost identical. The 6.2 version has a .01 step higher (5646 vs 5645) version on OpenGL, but the Dev drivers have an updated NSP driver version not present on the 6.2s.

Doh...!! Thanks for the update. I've had a terrible time overclocking with anything but overdrive. I've used ATI tool and ATI overclocker and both are buggy IMO. A new and improved version of Rivatuner would be nice.. :)

I just checked and I can change the clocks on my X1800XT with RT 15.8.
