Well, I've been doing fine on the 10.5 leaked beta drivers. Dunno what the 10.4 ones are like.

I like to spend lots of money! It's fun! Really, because I didn't think I'd notice a BIG difference from the 280 nvidia to the 5850. And it wasn't that much of a price difference to the 5870. Plus, it's fun buying expensive computer stuff... :) I quit playing golf(bad shoulder)... that's @ $40.-$50. a week I save, and now spend much of it on this addiction... YIKES...

nVidia drivers for my new 5870?? :)

I DL'd the 10.3b's... will try those... hope to get the card today from NewEgg along w/ the Corsair HX850 PS.

Would be nice, I've never been a fan of the ATI drivers. They have improved over the years but they are in my opinion a far cry from the nvidia ones


I disagree,ATi drivers are as good as Nvidia drivers IMHO and experience,I use drivers from both sides.

I normally use the official latest monthly drivers from their website.

Until AMD releases a driver that actually destroys cards, I'm going to have to disagree. ;)

My 5870 is showing up from Newegg today too. Can't wait to get it installed. My Dell U2410 showed up yesterday so it's looking to be a nice week...

I only dream about NV ever matching Catalyst in quality... really tired of seeing random issues with Nvidia here, across the board...
