with the old ATI Radeon Sapphire HD3870, I am not sure if it is worth updating these Catalyst 10.7 ,, I downloaded them, but am afraid to go through the whole ordeal.. I currently have the Catalyst 10.5 installed.

 

WinXP 32

Running just fine on my HD3850 in Win7 x86 :)

[Ramstein]

ok, trying 10.7 looks good in IL-2 and BS and FC.. so far..

 

if all goes well by the end of the year I wil have a new computer.. and it will be decent..

Rock on 10.7 and the 5970 performance increase!

I'm new to this stuff so will my Radeon HD 3200 Integrated work with this?(Win 7 64bit)

Thanks for the link Mustang. I've got a HD 5970 so I hope the new driver makes a difference to LockOn.

 

I reverted to using 10.3 since later versions broke the TrackIR 5 software on WinXP 32 (NaturalPoint are aware of the problem but haven't fixed it in the four months since it became an issue). The TrackIR 4 software worked but FC2 didn't want to know about it. Fingers crossed 10.7 is good.

 

@Sel94: I'd be surprised if the new driver didn't work for you, Win7 is now better supported than XP.

 

Edit: Update, Catalyst 10.7 is still broken for TrackIR 5 on Windows XP SP3 (32-bit). It's starting to annoy me and I wish I'd got the GTX 480 now (where's Crunch to say, "told you so").

 

Extra Edit - Workaround!: Put the TrackIR 5 software into "Compatibility Mode" for "Windows 2000" and it now runs fine. w00t!

I'm having a hard time installing 10.7. Whenever I hit install, nothing happens.
