75.90 v. Xtreme G 75.90a
Xtreme G 75.90a shows gains of about 1.5-1.3% over 75.90 across Aquamark, 3DMark03, and 3DMark05. Xtreme G's IQ seems to be at least as good as 75.90. Totally subjective, but I really thought Aquamark looked sharper and more vibrant under Xtreme G 75.90a.
Unfortunately, both drivers do not fix the "shiny grass" in CS:Source de_aztec. The modded drivers have been stable on my main rig so far.

The 71.84 fixes everything and retains all the speed plus better IQ.

Thanks for the heads up. I was wondering when they were going to come out. Drivers updated.
Anyone have any news on the net 5.3's.... i dont have an ATI card that i can test these with right now and none of the other forums have it out yet.

Xtreme G 75.90a vs. 71.84 vs. Xtreme G 71.84
The Xtreme G 75.90a runs just a hair faster (+0.5%) than the 71.84?s, but 71.84?s don?t have shiny grass in CS: Source, de_aztec. :thumbsup:
In a head to head for the 71.84's, on Aquamark, 3DMark03, & 3DMark05, the original beta and the Xtreme G versions are with in +/- .05% of each other with Xtreme G winning Aquamark and 3DMark05 and 71.84 winning 3DMark03. In other words, nearly within the normal variation you might see in different runs on the same rig. I could not see any perceivable differences in IQ between the two, but I am no expert and I do not have the proper tools for a real comparison.

I just got the Catalyst 5.3's and they still drive my half-life fps into the ground (35-70fps for DoD). Looks like I'll skip back to 5.1, before the problems began.
has anybody else experienced lower performance and/or artifacts on the xtremeg drivers? I've tried a bunch of different ones, but keep seeing white boxes in HL2, and i seem to get a lot more stalling in games. Who knows, maybe there's something weird about my particular setup.
anyways, apparently there are some new 76.10 drivers from leadtek - you can get the file from guru3d forums, but it's password locked and no one's been able to crack it yet. Maybe tomorrow it'll be cracked.

It shouldn't as i dont know many games that support this. MIGHT slow it down a bit since it is so new.
