Just to clear a doubt if any..

1 - if anyone intend to buy 3850/3870 and facing installation prob using winxp...
* manual installation of display driver should do the trick, then can install catalyst control center

2 - problem starting 3dmark and hang at splash screen
* 3dmark need hotfix for new gpu go download them and install..
*
bout 3dmark issue juz go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\Futuremark\MSC & rename "Direcpll.dll" file to any name e.g.
"xxx.dll".

I ask my buddies & they don have any issue installing latest ATi catalyst 7.11 drivers. why not u tried install framework 2.0 or 3.0 1st, then install catalyst.

If it's just colors, you can adjust that quite easily.

AFAIK not only colors quality itself. ATi got better noise reduction on HD Movie playback, better de-interlacing on DVD playback Image represent all too much to explain zzz... I got both HD2900XT & 8600GTS u can easily noticed their difference.

yes... 1GB 2900XT, well, it tried both card with same setting @1280x1024 on my system... even though almost same fps, but i felt (very subjective though), the gameplay much more smoother with HD2900XT, about the IQ... it's ATi man... nothing can beat them thumbup.gif

In Gear Of Wars XBOX360, HD2900XT & 8series color dark & faded, but on HD3850 color quality improve a lot in brighter & more fresh like beyond tweaking capabilities.
