Kilo_60 Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Which "Latest" ATI Catalyst Driver do you all use/recommend? Are the latest drivers compatable with BS or are there problems? Thanks :thumbup:
Pteradon Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Im using the 9.4 No problems so far IIRC, version 8.12. Why are you using 8.12, if i may ask?

Mugenjin Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 also 9.4 here advanced catalyst a.i. does generally speaking not work anyway, need to put it on standard.
Duke49th Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 (edited) Which "Latest" ATI Catalyst Driver do you all use/recommend? Are the latest drivers compatable with BS or are there problems? Thanks :thumbup: For what OS(XP, Vista, Win7) and what card(1xxx or 3xxx or 4xxx? @Pteradon: Maybe he have an AGP Card. The newer driver versions are making many problems with old (AGP) cards. Not on every system...but often enough. Since an year or so, the ATI driver really sucks. For example: Every time i install a new driver in XP, it damages my creative soundcard drivers. And I have no f** idea why!? P.s.: In Windows 7 I use the latest Vista 64 driver. The newer one doesn't support my graphics card. :mad: In XP I use 9.2 or 9.3 and I have that blank menu issue...but who cares^^ Edited May 9, 2009 by Duke49th [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 49th Black Diamonds - DCS & Falcon BMS Online Squad

Namenlos Ein Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Im using the 9.4 No problems so far Why are you using 8.12, if i may ask?

I still use the old one (PIV with HD3850) but the thing is I can't install any new CAT driver since 8.12. New drivers simply can't recognize hardware (HD3850 in AGP) and the last stable driver is the one provided on the installation CD that came with the Gfx. You guess, it's the 8.12! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
zokier Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 There also seems to be some kind of problem related to antialiasing with ATI and Windows XP. Would love to hear if someone actually has working AA with WinXP and ATI.
mrbinkels Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 I had AA working fine when i was running Xp with 9.X drivers. I'm using the 9.5 beta drivers with no issues. AMD 965BE at 3.8 Ghz Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P Crossfire XFX 5870XXX 8 gigs of Crucial DDR3 Corsair 850HX Windows 7
kiss4luna Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 9.x drivers just give me the blank screen problem on my spec and no solution RTX 3070
Mustang Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 Catalyst 9.5 beta here, XP32 with 3850, all good DCS/LO:FC :) Official 9.5 should be available next week (wednesday 13th) ;) 1
Vekkinho Posted May 9, 2009 Posted May 9, 2009 AA works with XP, I had no issues with it! however, AA is not recommended for resolutions lower than 1280*1024 as it can make some objects pop out without smooth dot to shape transition! (Like planes in LOFC, should be visible at 15Km as a dot but with AA on it may become visible only at 7KM). 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
experimental_pilot Posted May 10, 2009 Posted May 10, 2009 I'm using the 9-3. It's working just fine.
Kilo_60 Posted May 10, 2009 Author Posted May 10, 2009 I'm running Vista 64 -bit with a single 4850, 512mb card. Should I stay with 8.12 or Upgrade to 9.4 and/or would there be a benefit to switching to 9.4? I'm of the understanding of "If it ain't Broke" rule? So with this added info what would you all recommend? Thinking of upgrading to a 1 gig 4890 though w/ PSU upgrade????

TangoRomeo Posted May 11, 2009 Posted May 11, 2009 @ Kilo_60 My understanding is that 9.3 + do have some specific optimisations and support for the 4xxx series cards, including Win7 support. Since 9.3 ATI/AMD ceased supporting older cards than 2xxx. I see no point in having older drivers installed on a new card if there are no stability/quality issues. Performance wise 9.3 + should in many cases be faster, or at least equal to 8.12 on a 4xxx in recent games. 1
71st_Mastiff Posted May 12, 2009 Posted May 12, 2009 ? 9.4 here no issues. i posted this yesterday what happen to it?
