Catalyst 7.3 Drivers Now Available For Download
Catalyst 7.3 is now available!!
These drivers still have problems when overclocking RV560 and RV570 chips. CCC Overdrive will produce a strobing screen at timings over stock and 3rd party apps like ATITool will crash outright. The 6 series drivers are still the only overclocking option for these chips.
