The guys at TweakTown have performed their usual tests on the latest ATI driver release and the news aren't good this time around:

"This is one of the worst driver sets we have seen in some time. Not only did performance go nowhere on our lineup of games, but Company of Heroes actually took a small step backwards.

An even bigger issue we had with the drivers was the constant random crashing when starting COH."

Lets make clear that this is the DX9 version of Company of Heroes, so this is rather unexpected. It's not a dealing-with-a-new-API related problem.

The frame drop is mostly suffered when using a high end card, whether it's a brand new HD2900XT or a previous generation X1950Pro doesn't really matter.

This driver release is supposed to improve Far Cry performance, but even if that's the case, doing it at the expense of other games is not the way to go.
