I have tried them with my 2900XT in Crysis and they work great. All of the texture corruption/flickering problems with some objects like rocks, weapons, tin roofs, and fences I had been having are gone. The game plays very nice now at 1680x1050, high settings, No FSAA and overclocked to 808MHz. The ATI Info does show them as CAT 7.11 drivers.

Will give these a shot with my X1950 Pro. Just got Crysis today so will install them before I make any attempt at playing it!
As said in the Crysis thread, huge perf increase from these :).

nps, you have a 2900XT also? Glad I took a leap of faith and got one opposed to a GTS :).
