Thanks, new drivers... again  , there are some very good comments  in the Guru 3d forum:

I have been updating and testing with all the newest drivers whenever I see a new set released..... and in my opinion, there has definately been a performance and image quality increase, not to mention fixes for games, with newer drivers.
I was using the 72.12's before switching to this driver, and I would say that IQ looks a little better, my games seem to run a little smoother, but the best thing about these so far is that they seem a little more stable with my high overclock ratio.
Keepers for me and I would recommend these to other FX users. FX 5600 User.

The sound bug (pops & clicks) from the 75.xx drivers is now GONE. So that in itself is fantastic.
Been playing Gulid Wars quite a bit and these work nicely with it, but 72.12 whql seems to be more stable than this set.
I recommend you at least give these a run on your system. I noticed speed increase, but will continue testing for stability.

Ok guys, i never installed a beta driver for my 6800 ever, but i decided to try these (was using 71.89 whql), this new 77.13 are the best drivers ever, PERIOD.
3dmark2003 increased, the increases are in Proxymon 2fps, the elephant shader thing jumped also 3 fps, the TROLLS vertex shader is 2fps higher.
Doom3 increased 2 fps from 60fps now timedemo gives 62fps (it seems these drivers increases 2 fps on average).
I comfirm 100% the IQ increase, sharper texture.
on thing i'd like to add is that it seems my desktop performance increase, pressing START, my computer after a reboot is much faster than before, is this things still possible in year 2005? i thought we left it in the 90's days, seems you can still have faster 2D performance on desktop.
now the bad....REDDICK doesn't like OPENGL 2.0 and don't run anymore, thankfully it works fine on my main pc (ATI X850).
