Let the flame fest begin, my fellow ATI haters.

anybody else getting a page not found error when hitting the Download link?

[RealNC]

Everyone. They didn't put the drivers there yet. Why is this always happening with the Linux drivers though, never with the Windows ones?

The release notes are there though.

[Melcar]

Yeah, I'm getting one too. I guess links haven't been properly updated yet. Should be available latter on though.

[chronniff]

Guess I'll have to get disappointed later then

[Melcar]

There isn't that much different anyway from what I could tell during testing. Probably the biggest change was that composition was working again . Maybe a few extra OpenGL bugfixes here and there.

[RealNC]

You guys should open the 10.3 for Windows release notes and read them, just to get an impression of what "new and improved" looks like

[Tares]

3h later and there are still no drivers

Let the flame fest begin, my fellow ATI haters.

And I thought you were just being sarcastic... The download link doesn't even work, that's how "new and improved" the new catalyst drivers are. Maybe we're lucky and in 2 years the open-source drivers will surpass the proprietary ones.

Maybe we're lucky and in 2 years the open-source drivers will surpass the proprietary ones.

but they already do, if you're looking at the right benchmarks


It's taken a while for the actual download links to appear for the last few releases, too. The translations for the download pages are sometimes off, too (showing different release numbers etc). I guess nobody feels responsible for it.
