X1950 working driver

[Corpsecrank]

I have a PCI-E problem with my Radeon X1300. I have posted a forum here: http://www.sevenforums.com/drivers/16665-windows-7-ati-radeon-x1300.html
So far even 9.1 has failed for my situation..

You should stick to the thread you started for this problem.

X1300 are older and are probably going to have some issues. Try installing the older catalyst 8.1 driver but DO NOT reboot after they are installed instead go to device manager and find the old drivers windows was using and try to remove those. Be careful not to remove the drivers you just installed (Catalyst 8.1) This will ensure you do not have conflicting drivers when windows reboots. After the older catalyst drivers are installed and the other drivers that might have caused problems are removed you can reboot and everything should work.

thats right jwmghf! its about time everyone dropped their crany old dx9 cards and either wait for the new dx11 cards to come out or get a dx10 one

You're a genius! That solved my problem, thank you so much.. I can't believe it was something so simple.

I'm glad I could help I read that people using older radeon cards were having trouble with newer drivers and that the 8.1 drivers were solving the issue.

The biggest thing to remember though is that once you install the 8.1 drivers you can't reboot until you have any other drivers that may have been installed removed.

I also think it is a shame the X1950 pro isn't supported anymore!!!
I also tried a lot. Also this way did not work for me.
I deleted the drivers before installing 8.1 with hotfix, but he extracted them again I guess.
I have the powercolor X1950 AGP.

9.3 drivers work for mine old 1950gt also powercolor but psi-e. But now i have new graphic card hd4850 ad i dont worry anymore about this ... also i heard that agp versions of 1950gt have problems withdrivers...

I also think it's a different for the PCI-E or the AGP. But not sure...

I've got a 1950 Pro AGP in my son's computer (my old one) and am about to install Windows 7 on it. I presume that we will be stuck with the MS stock driver that is included with Windows 7 (x86). Based on my read of this thread, is that correct? Thanks!

In my experience, till now: yes. And I haven't read a single clear story of someone with an X1950 AGP card who managed to get it working...

AMD Game Forums - ATI Radeon X1950 Pro on Windows 7

I will give this a go tonight...

 

[huuub]

I am giving up.
My powercolor AGP X1950 does not want to work with Windows 7 64bit...
Anybody????

 

[Danilo]

Sorry man ... It seems that AGP x1950 is unsolved problem... Probably some big error but don't thing ati or anybody else will bother solving problems with old cards especially AGP ... i suggest stay with XP if you don't plan buying new motherboard and graphic card with PCI-E anytime soon ...

ATI have released a legacy driver for the X------ range of cards for Win 7, this covers the X1950 pro.

I haven’t tried it yet mainly because I have a working driver in the cat 9.1

I don’t know if it covers AGP cards, you would have to try it.

Here is the link:

Ok I downloaded the old ATI 9.1 driver for Vista 32b, and it worked on my computer.

I found also few relevant link, but I not tried them because I got mine to work. But maybe you should try them, if otherwise shall not act well.

No no the AGP version of the x1950 is a no no no... I have tried a lot. Thanks for the help and links... But I would be surprised if anybody had the AGP version working.

my problem is this:

my Asus EAX1950 pro works great with the driver windows update installed. (using dvi --> hdmi cable)

under xp i could only run on vga connection to my tv, because dvi--> hdmi looked awful.

under seven its even worse, vga doesnt do anything (my guess is a wrong res or freq) and when i install ccc my hdmi looks like its a tv needed to be cleaned, just plain awful. no matter what version, ive installed them all.

i`ve tried every res, every freq, every forced mode there is within ccc, nothing

ive always worked on my tv mith my pc (1080p), and under xp with no problem at all

for now it wrks great, but im guessing that i need the latest driver for the latest games to play?

i hope I make any sense (my english isnt good enough for me to explain a quess or thougt in english the way i want to)...

might be a good time for an upgrade of my graphics card...
