I am still waiting for AMD to release their Avivo Video Converter

I'm pretty sure Avio video converter was already released.

The performance gains in crysis and Warhead are nice.

Excellent! Works with HD 3850... it felt good for the past 3 driver updates that I was included instead of being with the unsupported older card

DL'ing now... Thanks Fat.Clown!

So a 20% increase in Crysis on my hd 3450 increases me from 10 fps to 12 fps. YES!

funny, Crysis/Crysis Warhead, Left 4 Dead, probably Fear 2 demo, GTA4, and maybe other games dont use CF or something. I got my card early when it came out and all i notice is no PCI-E 2.0 support and not all the 1GB of VRAM is being used. I got myself screwed over big time . Downloading now.
