ATI 9.4 Beta Catalyst 8.60-090316

[Coldout]

Just installed these, no issues so far.

Here's the place where I found the links to download.

Catalyst 8.60-090316 Vista/XP - Guru3D.com Forums

Some of the tips from that thread...
It's reccomended to unistall the old first.
For W7 you can use the patch,copy the patch files to the folder of the new drivers so it installs normaly on W7.
\VISTA_8.60\VISTA_8.60\Packages\Drivers\Display\
Then just run the setup.

Goodluck

Driver installation is OK, but no Catalyst Control Center .....

I feel sorry for anyone who has an ATI product, it really doesn't say much for them when they can't even get a simple installer to work, all you have to do with Nvidia drivers is install them, restart and your good to go, never had a problem with one of their drivers and never had to uninstall a driver to install a new one, compared to ATI that seem to have broken installers and even when you do install them they are still rubbish.

Nvidia FTW

Is that right?




Overall as far as drivers go, they know how to stuff them. They had a good run with the last couple (installer wise at least )... then again, I seem to recall the Nvidia boat wasn't always smooth sailing either

in response: I used Nvidia for the last 5 years, and I switched to radeon when the HD 4870 came out. I wouldn't go back now. Look up comparisons...forget software, that's manageable, most of us here know what we are doing with computers enough to make stuff work. Hardware matters.

Installed 9.4 no problem with the CCC center working also with no issues on build 7077.

Well I didn't say anything about the actual hardware, it's just strange that they can't make decent drivers, There seems to be allot of people on this forum having problems with their drivers, compared to Nvidia that doesn't seem to have any, aside from the people with ancient hardware that is.

Not bad marks you have there, is that with Crossfire or a single card?

Here's my latest scores with a single GTX260

I cheated, it's crossfire. It's still a big improvement over a single card though. I saw your scores in the overclock thread and I couldn't resist

This was back when I only had the CPU @ 3.5:


From last page Crossfire and CPU @ 3.8:


Some people rarely, or even never, have a problem with CAT drivers, while others (like myself) hit some shockers every now and then. Which is pretty poor considering I've only had ATI card/s for 6 months. So far it's a 60/40 hit rate driver wise

I could never understand the vitriol against ATI drivers when I had nvidia. Now I can. I'm just happy I'm one those who hasn't had major issues with crossfire and x64
