Yay! ATI released 6025 drivers.... BUUUT theyre buggy as nuts according to most of the ppl over at the rage3d forums... :|

i have radeon 64 vivo and wxp... does anyone have a similar setup and the new drivers?

im wondering whether itll be worth it at all....

I don't know about Rage3D, but about a dozen people here seem to love them...

I haven't found them buggy at all, in fact quite the opposite. How can you have a headline like that if you're not even using them?..odd.

I could'nt agree more. These Ati bashing rumors are rediculous. The Rage3D forums are packed full of idiot's trying to use drivers not ment for their specific card and/or operating system.

Yes, I like the Rage3d forums, and there are a lot of greatly helpful people there.

Did you read agreement before downloading the drivers?

It's called beta drivers that hasn't been tested so yes it will be buggy. If you don't want to beta test than don't use the drivers.

I love all the people that declare some driver made their InsaneTurnip 5000 score go up or down 50 points. Funny stuff.

Hell, 50 points is probably well within the margin of error for 3DMark... with onlya very slight decrease/increase like that I'm not sure one can solely put it to the drivers that caused the difference.

Last time I read that thread, MOST people didn't have any problems with the new drivers. Ever thought that most happy people aren't posting anything in the forums because they're off testing and having fun with their rigs?. In my experience the most vocal are the people having the problems (which generally are their own fault) who are actually in the minority.

LOL I'm going to have to retract my previous comment. I'm getting random lockups and vertical lines across my entire monitor. The 6025's aren't going back into my system. Maxreboot does have 6032's out. Might give them a try, otherwise I'm back to the WHQL 6014's.
