Installed the 5770 card in a fresh Win7 64-bit install, and have had nothing but problems. In WoW, my fps dropped lower than the GeForce 8800 GTS I replaced when using the new 9.11 drivers. I rolled back to the drivers that came on the CD, and the fps is better, but now it locks up my PC. Screen turns all of one color and I have to reset. I had similar issues with Radeon cards several years ago that prompted my to go to Nivida. I figured by now Radeon issues like this would be fixed. Very disappointed to see all the same problems and I'm considering returning the card to get a different Nvidia. What a bummer. I echo the other complaints.

In some games, for example in Call of Duty 4, a noticeable fps drop has been experienced with drivers later than 9.4. On Cat 9.4 or earlier, has got 125-180 fps, but with Catalyst 9.5 - 9.11 has only 40-50 fps on same locations. Try to switch on and off AA and AF - no change, 45 fps even with noAA. When roll back to 9.3 or 9.4 - everything becomes fine ( 125+ fps with 4AA). It seems to be something wrong in new drivers series for WinXP. So its the same problem with new drivers just like it's described on http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/2764/ati_catalyst_9_5_vista_driver_analysis/index5.html The same problem in new 9.11 as in 9.5-9.10 on Windows XP + Radeon 4850.

Arkham Asylum is fine but Left 4 Dead crashes. No problems at all using Windows Vista. Trying to upgrade to 9-11 drivers, system dumps to same blue screen. I cannot upgrade to 9-11 drivers. I've tried uninstalling all ATI software and drivers through Add/Remove but system still crashes during driver upgrade. I'm using an Intel MB, Core i7, 6 gigs Triple RAM. A minidump viewer isololates driver - halmacpi.dll and atikmdag.sys - might be responsible, bug check string reads "UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP" I need help installing newer version of 9-11 drivers if this will resolve my issue.
