That's not really on topic, but Nvidia releases drivers when they are ready.

If you have an older video card, use a driver that works. I'm still using Catalyst 7.4 on one of my machines.
I was just asking as i didnt want to make a topic for the question.

My 9200SE works just fine on some old driver from about 2006, the 7900GS is churning on last years drivers.

I'm about as techie as a wet sponge but i read a lot and did read somewhere that adobe photoshop is/has leant toward CUDA for it's software. This would maybe mean less than optimum performance for the ATI cards?

thats for CS5

Use an older driver , i found that when AMD updated the opengl to 4.0 i lost hardware acceleration with adobe and pinnacle , maybe we should wait for a patch from adobe before using catalyst 10.3 or 10.4.

Ok I'm not trying to be a jerk but all of you are wrong.

A: CS5 Photoshop uses OpenGL 2.0 not CUDA. CUDA support is only for CS5 Premier.

B: Yes ATI updated its drivers so the GPU would support OpenGL 4.0 that is correct. However Photoshop only supports 2.0 which has caused a lot of bugs. I have been waiting for Adobe to patch CS4 for months to no avail. The bottom line is its an Adobe problem. Not ATI.

All I can say is Adobe hasn't been supporting CS4 as they did with prior versions and because of this I won't be getting CS5 anytime soon. That and it offers nothing really new.

i hope they dont put it from 4.0 to 3.2, 3.2 isnt beter then 4.0 and on the 4.0 u get more things. meh why are some gpu/cpu companys playing with all these numbers and chips. is there something wrong with the piece that they have been build? whe are still around in the crises time. i hope that everything is gonna be normal as it should be.
