Im pleased though. Performance has been good all the way along with the 9700Pro. ANd Id rather ATI concentrate on bug fixes and stability. Some video card companies driver versions improve 3D performance at the expense of system stability or 2D iamge quality. (yuck) Bugs with NASCAR, Mafia and other games are fixed. People with AMD systems that saw stuttering claim alot of the stuttering has been cleaned up with Cat 3.2 Id say if you havent tried the 3.2s yet, give them a go and see what you think

| I don't play CS, but haven't had any problems with any games so far. Didn't gain much performance (if any), so it might be better to stick with Cat 3.1 for now if you don't have any problems.

| I got back into playing Dungeon Siege recently, and with the Cat3.2 drivers, Dungeon Siege is actually faster. With Cat3.1 Dungeon Siege was a little on the slow side.
