What drivers are the best for a Radeon 9500/9700?

[Achilles97]

I am getting a Radeon 9500 Pro, what are the best drivers as of now?

Thanks!

well if you had the 9500NP, wizards hacked 3.0 cat drivers could change your card to a 9700. But since you got the pro, ATI's reference cats 3.0 is the one to go for.

Not that easy to find a 9500 that's hackable anymore, and many of them still show artifacts even with the "fix". Also, where do you get wizard's hacked drivers?

read teh user reviews, one reviewer has posted the linky, just d/l and follow wizards directions.

The latest Catalyst 3.0a's are just great. No problems with them or DirectX 9.

Yes, the latest Catalyst 3.0 drivers from ATI are good, and work well with DX9. Also, Rage3d Tweak v3.7 works best with the CAT 3 drivers.
