Just tried the new driver and it does appear X-Plane works properly now. About time.. very frustrating to spend $70 on a game and then be unable to play it properly for over a year because ATI still doesn't know how to write OpenGL drivers. This is far from the first time there's an issue with VBO's in ATI's OpenGL driver.
Oh well, please don't break it again
Based on the fact that an overclocked GTX260 216 can beat a stock GTX285 (which is tad fater than a 4890). I must say that I cannot find any direct comparison overclocked 260 vs 4890 reviews on the net, but there are several which compare overclocked 260's vs 285's. Here's one.
What about waiting for Nvidia's fixes for newly released games, you sometimes have to wait 6 months (as thats how long they usually take to release another driver), jesus, i wouldn't want to play the game after waiting that long.
ATi may not take a month to fix Shift problems, as they could release a hotfix driver for it at anytime.
Not just ATi that have driver problems either, Nvidia have them to (look at their 190 driver threads, everyones going back to 186's etc...).
Sick to bloody death of this now, how the **** is it that ATi only get the ******* driver slagging
