my advice is don't download and install this....I've been checking around and information is virtually 0 and the driver details are somewhat strange. Also the size of it suggest that either it is a driver pack with multuiple OS support or a Windows Vista driver!anyway i'll stick to the 6.12 for now since this driver is not even on Guru3d.com yet!!

that's just a question of numbers...7= the 7th year of ATi Catalyst drivers...but look at the driver build version...7.1=8.31 | 6.13=8.33
So 7.1is actually older than 6.13!
This is a Windows Vista driver which brings higher frame rates and some graphical corruption issues corrected (Oblivion and Max Payne); Crossfire is now supported in Windows Vista but Vertical Sync still doesn't work.
Also there has been some reports of CCC not installing/starting properly or at all.
This is an ASUS leaked beta driver not supported by ATi.if you give it a go, post some comments, performance wise!

Cheers

200mb... hahahah no way

If it is a nonofficial driver, then how come ATI "recommends that you should have SP2..."?

I found some info on a french site
''Voici un pack Catalyst d'origine Asus en version 6.13 (8.33) pour Windows 2000/Xp 32/64bits, WHQL & multi langues.
Ce pack légèrement different du pack offcielle du faite qu'Asus.

Translation: Version 6.13 (8.33) of Asus Catalyst driver for Windows 2000 - XP 32bit - XP 64bit, WHLQ tested and multilangage.

This pack differ lightly from the official pack made by Asus.
....

Don't download it, download the official 7.1 from ATI or wait for Omega or NGO modified drivers.
