| Interesting....ATI is supposed to be ahead in this game anyway, but a boost of 5-20% is welcome. I'll try them after I scour the earth for the game, and then download it.

| It would be interesting to see how other games run with this driver since it's optimized for HL2.. I think I will not touch a thing right now. Counter Strike Source runs great and I'll check and see how HL2 runs with my current drivers(Omega 2.5.90) in about 13 hours if all goes well with them releasing the activation code. Time to get a nap in so I can stay up late and tonight with HL2

| Doesn't Half Life 2 use DirectX and NOT OpenGL. Doom 3 uses OpenGL. |

| Did you guys remove the ATI drivers then installed these, or did you install it over the ATI drivers. |
