From what I've read around the grape vine is that a Dirt 2 demo is scheduled for release soon (should be within a weeks time). Some speculate as soon as tomorrow. AMD has already released drivers for CF support Vista/Win7 32-64 bit and XP 32-64 bit which is available at TPU.


Side note:
OF2: DR release date 6 October, Demo out - November 18
FUEL release date June 2, demo out - July 9
DiRT 2 release Date 1-4 December, demo out ** of December.

CM doesn't have a good track record but at least a demo is coming.

Not all... My PowerColor 5870 didn't. :(
But hey - at least I've got it on decent price. Right now in Poland 5850 (if you will manage to find them in stock) are almost in same price that I bought my 5870...
