Always have been and probably always will be. So why did my GTX460 have more driver problems than my 2 HD6950s? In fact, the only problem I've found with ATI drivers is that the GPU meter gadget can't recognise my cards. Upvote 0 Downvote

World of Warcraft shows no scaling with HD6870's, however this may have been fixed, the review is using 10.7 drivers. We are now on 11.11. Upvote 0 Downvote
