Working well for me so far.

Yep and they have refresh rate "overdrive"; don't have to use third party proggies like reffix etc. with WinXP and Win2000.

The 40.xx drivers official version didn't work with certain games at all and since there's no real improvements in speed I'll stick to the 30.xx line.

Don't start with the 3DMark scores, it's common for drivers to be tweaked for 3DMark nowadays without any real life benefits

200 points in 3dmark is like 0.5 fps on screen, not enough difference to change drivers.

Do the new drivers solve the multi monitor problem in UT 2003 demo?

Hussein,
You may be right. My frame rates in AH are lower than with 30.82 and with AA x 2 on The text on my radio channel/range list is hard to read without darkening background. Think I will go back to 30.82.

I'm using the 40.41 drivers. I think AH framerates did go down a little, but try this: 2x AA on and check the "sharpen textures" option. All of the sudden I can read the ammo counters at any cockpit zoom level. Framerates did take a small hit doing it, but it looks much better. (I still get 85+ FPS most of the time, so the hit isn't excessive.)

40.41 produced a big frame rate hit for me so I went back to 30.82. Installed 40.71 this weekend and got substantial improvements.
