ATI drivers that are said to improve loading time.

seems its for the 5xxx series stuff at min which sucks.

Might be worth doing a sys restore A ?

it dosent seem any faster for me either and i got a 5xxx card
saying that when i look in CCC it says driver package version 8.74 catalyst version is 10.2
is that right thought it was higher than that?

Used the ones that AMD provided 10.4 preview

Tested them last night for a few games, work very well, was in the game very fast and got warned for swearing about it lol.
In fact the game ran a lot better for me, smoother and didn't seem to lag as much, but saying that I wasn't on TS as I think that is my main cause of lag and think there's been a server patch.

_D m8, try the 10.4, I run a 5870 xxx which I think you suggested to me back when I had graphics woes, if you have altered your settings.ini file to dx 9 you may have to put it back on auto so it uses 10/11 that maybe the prob.
