I find that if you go to the card manufactor site and download the driver, it works the best... (sometimes that means you have a driver that is older then the most up-to-date)... I beleive that most of the card manufactors do their own tweaks on the drivers... at least that was my experience with the visiontek 3870...

I wonder if all the "3d" Matrox driver writers went to ATI when Matrox dropped out of the domastic market??



woaaaaaaaaa there, hard voltmod peeps, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeek O_O

im on 8.501 at the mo Ambient.Impact, seems stable (touch wood) :O)

im quiting whilst im winning lol, 'if it aint broke, dont fix it', anyhooooos cheers for the heads up , its awsome for the money btw (£73 incl) gonna crank it up shortly :O)


psychochief, do you by any chance have ATI Tray Tools installed? I had the same problem for a long time at boot up, but I figured out it was the culprit. There's a beta version available on the Guru3D forum that supports the 3xxx series.

And it STILL won 't compile on the latest Linux kernel release.......


Still waiting for a driver that let me use two vid cards on the Vista without having the second card output slow down to a crawl. Funny thing, this slow down does not occur with the Vista default ATI drivers, but then there are some other bugs...

Ah well, they are bound to get it right sometime, right?

Compare AMD Rapid Response to Problems to Nvidias' never Ending Denial. ALL that Grooming ADDS Up.

Vantage took PhysX & Shows Areas in Card That Can Be accelerated. GOOD Tool. Then ADD AMD Updates & Poor, Poor others. AMD is on Winning Track with both Processing & Gaming & chipsets & Tuners in One Batch.

Yet H.RUIZ commentos(exit) indicate POISON PILL is in Place, Right Inside Santas' Workshop. WE NEED AMD.

WE Need Ultie. We Need Plenty of Updates, For Shure.We Need FOOD.

yes, but errrrrrrrrrrrrrm, is it stable, they just give us more to try before finding one thats stable with our own personal hardware configurations O_o

ive just bought a saphire 3870 and im going through the 'sweety jar' at the mo, after doing a clean install of xp to find one that doesnt BSOD grrrrrrrrrr (IRQ less or equ..........) :O)

what ever happened to numero uno pooter rule :- 'if it aint broke, dont fix it' !! O_O

And after all this time, you still can't enable "shiny water" in the original NeverWinter Nights due to a driver bug.

Does this driver include the fan fix for the 4850?
