ATI Graphic drivers for Windows Consumer Preview?

Question

I have a XFX 5770 graphic card and on the ATI website its got the drivers for windows 8 Windows 8 Preview drivers which is for the windows 8 preview whats out now and not for the conusmer preview. Just wondering if any one know if there going to release an update driver for the consumer version or shal i just download the drivers for windows 7 and hope for the best?.

 

Answer 1

I expect drivers that worked well with WDP to work with the CP just as well. But if you installed your drivers in Compatibility Mode, I think you may have to do the same with CP, unless your device Manufacturer is able to release new CP friendly drivers. There might be exceptions too, it's possible MS may release some updated drivers with its CP installation/updates. In your case, the XFS 5770 graphic card drivers available for WDP on the ATI site should almost definitively work with CP.
