If it hasn't been posted by AMD/ATI then I wouldn't touch them.

I'm downloading the preview 3 update now. Like HGHLNDR said, if it's not from the AMD support site I wouldn't touch it.

I've been using the leaked preview 3 driver for several days. It's the sole reason for me being able to properly play Rage at last.

There's nothing wrong with it. It won't explode your computer, cause your GPU to intitiate time travel back to the year 1836, or split the Hydrogen atom.

It's understandable the "official line" is to not install it. I would say the same in Bethesda's and AMD's shoes as we live in a crazy age of rampant litigation. However, if lots of people are using this driver and are still living and breathing to tell the tale, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for all but the most timid of gamers to take the unofficial route so that they can play the game properly.

I think he meant the 11.11 beta drivers.

Thanks for being a guinea pig. Any chance you can tell us what version of atioglxx.dll it's using? I've got version 6.14.10.11299 from the preview 3 drivers but it keeps on crashing Rage.

No Problem , Mate . Here is the results :

Booting seemed fine , Everything in windows seemed fine , Launched RAGE , Resolution was completely f*cked and in video options ingame in front of the RES option it was just blank , Anywayz i changed it to 1980x1020 (My Default) and the RES was now fine , Gone into game , Sadly , Everything that was fixed in preview 3 is now not working again and everything that was wrong in preview 3 is still wrong lol , The dual core freezing when AI is on now is back (which was fixed in preview 3 driver) .. The Glares i am currently having with preview 3 is still there (which is not fixed in preview 3) , However i noticed there is no texture pop-ins or blurry textures , However i never had texture pop-ins problems in preview 3 to start with , So i dont know if its fixed or if its just same for me about the texture problems , as of the atioglxx.dll thingy , i am sorry but i cannot reply about that as i writing this after re installing the preview 3.

Finally:

While i dont recommend installing , I also dont recommend not installing it ... It really did not screw anything up that bad or blow up mah PC :D
if you're having a problem and cannot wait till OCT 31 Driver , Then go for it .. Otherwise , you are not missing much.

Also i checked it with my AV and nothing showed up.

Also the one i tested is 11.11 beta (8.91) , The 11.12 beta (8.92) is also leaked out there .. However i did not test it that since i read it was not full and missing some things , If anyone tested it .. Please post your results here.

The preview 3 drivers work fine for me. Are you on a laptop?

try catalyst AI turn on or off. for some people, AI mess up again. if they turn on AI, they get 0fps. but they are fine with preview 3. there is explanation on 11.11 beta. it clearly mention that some file is missing. so you watch out. I won't install it.

Assuming it will even fix any issues. Hell I've been waiting three weeks, what's another six months for them to ACTUALLY get this thing working on most systems, right?

@Hitman cheers mate, I'll give that a miss so, thanks for saving me some heartache.

@ xaxxiron no mate it's a desktop, preview 3 sorted everything out apart from this one issue, it's normally happening when going in and out of races but it has happened loading other bits of the game.

The new V3 preview AMD drivers are worse than V2. The game is crashing pretty often when changing between the subway city and races. First I get super low texutres and then it's hanging. Installing V2 again.

The V3 drivers have been fine for me with Rage. However, I now have problems with Crysis 2 and Crysis Warhead in terms of slow loading and popping textures and just generally poorer looking visuals than with previous dirvers. I'm not bothered by that as Rage is the game that I want to play at the moment. Uninstalling 11.10 V3 and going back to 11.9 fixed the issues with the Crysis games so it is something to do with the preview drivers.

I have the same problem with V2 on New Vegas. My pip boy and computer screens are blank and everything just looks fuzzy. If I roll back to 11.9 it's fine though.
