Thank you!

I'm using 8.7 beta driver for a while now. Thing is when I tried to go back
to those 8.6 hotfix drivers they would'nt install correctly due to
something that beta driver did. Hope these official 8.7 drivers install ok.

That is what I was wondering. Is this a good update to the HD4870? I see

nothing in the release that improves the performance of the 4870, addresses
the high-heat settings, or helps any of the games I play.

Set the fan to always work at 100% speed.

I would like to know what other people are experiencing before I install it.

I finally installed 8.7. So far, it's ok.

You are just running a single card, right? I would recommend you ditch CCC
altogether and use ATi Tray Tools (ATT) to control all functions. The only
thing ATT lacks is robust Crossfire support.

does this ATT work in 64-bit Vi$ta?

Does ATI Tray Tools support 48xx series cards yet? I don't think it does.

It says it does but don't know if it works with 4850 and 4870 video cards.

You don't need it unless you are into heavy tweaking.
