I'm not responsible for anything this driver does to your computer, but I can tell you honestly tell you that I'm using this driver and it has been working great.

Schtopper writes: "I had a quick chat with one of the driver gurus from ATI and he confirmed that a new driver release (Catalyst 3.2) should be available this month. (Given how cautious he was in giving a date, I assume it will be mid month if all goes to plan).

The only things I know for sure that have been addressed, is a fix for the stuttering in Freelancer. In addition the stuttering problem as a whole has been looked at and will 'hopefully' be fixed this time around (no guarantee). He did mention that there was quite a few fixes but didn't specify a list."

Now let's hope Nvidia plans to release some new drivers soon as well, its been 3 months already since last official driver was released and new drivers are in development.
