Default Ati Driver 10.3 Preview
I'am not sure if i can post a link from another site, anyway it's rage3D. there's a link to download the 10.3 Preview drivers (the beta)

I tested DIRT2

Got from 46FPS (OC 875/1150) to 56fps (1920x1080, 8xMSAA, 16xAF) on a 5850 OCS

o.O Incredible.. Im running crossfire 5770's right now, and hope to get a boost like that.
i'll test it out tonight, is it as stable as the 10.2 driver?

There's a huge thread on Guru3D about these drivers and they seem to be posting significant performance improvements both in responsiveness and performance. It's also an update for the Mobility series, which I am definitely looking forward to.

10.3 is an awesome driver. I'd recommend it.

That makes the 5xxx cards even more attractive if people are getting huge gains like that from a driver update. Hopefully the gains will be on the whole line up.

Looking to buy a 5850 card in the nearterm myself due to this.

arg.... this is making my decision so much harder! Anybody running dual 5850's with this update? Im not sure if I want to get a second 5850 or put the one i already have underwater. It'll cost me about 400 either way...
