ATI drivers issue with Windows 7 - Will this hurt WoW?Follow

Hey guys, I got Windows 7 downloaded and installed late last night, and when I went to the ATI website to try and update my drivers for my graphics card, the site said this:

Quote:
AMD’s DirectX 9 ATI Radeon graphics accelerators are not officially supported under Windows 7. If the user chooses to, they can install the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista graphics driver under Windows 7. Please be aware that none of the new Windows 7 graphics driver (WDDM 1.1) features are supported (as the Windows Vista level graphics driver is limited to WDDM 1.0 level support). Using the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista driver under Windows 7 is not officially supported by AMD, and as such AMD will not provide any form of customer support for users running in this configuration


Not that I have much of a choice at this point, but will this cause issues with my performance in WoW? It would make me very sad if it did, because the whole reason I got Windows 7 was to help increase performance in WoW. I don't have the option of upgrading my video card, as my pc is a laptop with an integrated video card.

Most Vista drivers seem to be working on Windows 7. I'd give it a shot. I haven't had any issues running my Nvidia card on the Windows 7 RC these last few months.

Thanks Cat. I tried it out and there didn't seem to be any problems.
