Yesterday ATI released two updates to its Catalyst driver package, the one is actually being a whole new driver for Windows 7. The ATI Catalyst preview driver for Windows 7 includes drivers for all Radeon HD 2000, 3000 and 4000 series GPUs plus the ATI Catalyst Control Center with limited features support.
The ATI Catalyst release 8.12 hotfix is said to improve DirectX10 performance in various applications in multi-core CPU systems. It also resolves the BSOD issues using dual ATI Radeon HD 4850 in CrossFire mode.

I just get a message the support portal has timed out. Is this a new 8.12 Hotfix or the one sitting at the top of their driver's page for the past almost month?

I see it on their site though. I do wonder if this is any good. Like does the driver improve issues that I have been having with GTA IV? I also had some,, not many,, random crashes in other games as well. I wonder if it fixes those issues as well. I notice how they don't really delve into details to well here.

Yep, games that worked in Vista should work with 7, although I'm getting a lot of crashes while playing CSS. Office should install fine too.

Well since it still has a registry it needs to be a service pack. They need to scrap the damn registry already.

I tried the hotfix one and I just got like 400 less points in vantage, not that it really matters because I supposedly hold the top score among systems like mine any way so.. I still get issues with GTA IV RESC10 ERROR! I was playing COD 4 for awhile without any issues... That is as far as I have gotten so far with them.
