I would like to publicly nominate ATI's 7.10 driver suite as the BEST driver package EVER put out by them since the year of 1995 when I got my first ATI card, the MACH 64 Turbo.I simply am in awe of how RAZOR SHARP all elements of FS9's display is since having adopted them. At 1920x1200 resolution, the scene is stunning! I mean...it goes WAY beyond 'adequate'!As soon as I finish this post, I intend to send an email to ATI to tell them how truly sensational their latest driver effort is, and to extend my appreciation for their continuing efforts to squeeze each and every last 'performance' drop out of not only the current 1000 series cards, but every card that came before it that can be driven by this great suite.Kudos ATI, and thank you for such great graphics hardware, and superb support efforts. The 7.10's bring out the best-of-the-best on your X1950 Pro product. I'm sure that others will agree on their own graphics cards!!!I simply have not seen this level of performance from any other suite to date.Mitch R.

Mitch,Have to agree. My X1900GT is performing 'above normal' since installing the 7.10'sThey have certainly done something different this time.....Glenn

Mitch,I don't know if you run FSX, but if you do, can you let us know how FSX is with the latest drivers? Thanks.

A friend of mine down the street has also a Pent 4, but a 3.6 GHz as v.s. my 3.4.He came over and saw my X1950 Pro and Samsung 245B---(large grin) and then ran out and bought his own two, lol.He runs FSX and having been over there, and with the benefit of practically an identical Dell system....I can say that there is no performance 'less-than' between running FS9 and what you see in fantastic crisp detail (7.10's) or if you run with FSX.The ATI driver team needs to accept a huge slap on the back.In 5,000 words or less, RUN to the 7.10's either with FS9 or FSX!Mitch

Hello MitchI installed the new drivers after reading your first post about them.These are the best ATI drivers i have ever had.I was running at 6xAA 16x Anistropic on my old drivers, i am now running 4xAA 4x Anistropic with Adaptive AA set to supersampling.The image quality is better and i have picked up frames from reducing from 6x 16x to 4x 4x, frame rates with heavy clouds are much better(this was the only thing my rig used to struggle with at times)This is with a X850XT AGP and a C2D E6600 on a ASRock 4CoreDual-VSTA http://www.freewebs.com/reading1871/30.jpg

There is a problem with the X600 Radeon, because you get X300/X550drivers - and ATI informed me that I should uninstall these as theyare not right for the X600. I download/uninstalled/installed thedrivers twice - and it confirmed that the X600 download is wrong.Just recovering an image I took Tom

Usually you can just install new ATI drivers overtop of old. Is this what you guys did. If not I will use driver cleaner.JimCYWG

If you do that..you chance having the OLD drivers mixed in with the new, or only the info updating, but in fact NOT the drivers...This has happened to myself and others, when just running new over the old. ATI firmly says that you should completely remove/scrub the old drivers out of your O.S. folder before applying new ones.Mitch

Thanks MitchJimCYWG
