What have they done to CCC, it looks rubbish now . .

Had trouble installing this one, could not get the CCC to load.
After using driver sweeper and CCleaner in safe mode it still would not load.
In desperation i used the ATI un-install option during setup, it worked, go figure that.
Anyhoo, it all seems to be working OK, so if you have problems try the un-install option.

Yeah, I can't say I like the new look of it now. looks like it took a step back in time.

ATI needs to fire each and every software developer! They Really are worthless! For anyone that has the ATI 3870 X2, stay with 9.4 version as that works the best. NEVER update before doing a restore. The fans setting are not adjustable but Riva Tuner works for that just fine. I think I might dump these two 3870 X2 for the NVidia cards, these drivers always worked for me in the past very well! Any takers?

Without knowing the specs, it's hard to say.

You could always try

As for the drivers themselves: They were a painless in-place installation for a change :D

How do I find out the specs? With me knowing I'll post them

What's the model name of your laptop?

Also type "system info" into the the start menu to open system information. Expand components>display and post a screenshot of that page

It's funny how every time I have issues installing a new release, everybody else s installation is problem free. However when I don't have an issue - everybody else does

The new CCC doesn't look bad, but is slower to navigate

Your chipset/integrated card is a ATI Radeon® Xpress 200M which I don't believe is supported with these drivers

i have a diamond radeon 3870X2 and am happy with 9.4 driver and have no desire to update the driver. why update if it is working fine?

The simple answer is - don't.

But if you do have an issue or need an improvement for a particular game that has been included in that release, then obviously update them.

If you ever find a cure for "upgraditis" let me know.

Catalyst 9.8 out, boosts CrossFireX with AMD chipsets

AMD has released a new set of Catalyst graphics drivers, and there's a twist. The drivers shouldn't hit the AMD Game website until Monday, but AMD marketing chief Ian McNaughton has posted links to them on his blog.

Re: Latest ATI Catalyst Video Drivers

OK it is the weekend and I can't help myself but to try this new download even though I know I will regret it later! I just can't help myself when the new stuff comes out to see what happens.

Re: Latest ATI Catalyst Video Drivers

I'm running on them right now. No problems with installation or anything else so far. Upped my wei score by .2 points. It is the legit 9.8.

Re: Latest ATI Catalyst Video Drivers

Same drop down menu that is nice and everything looks the same as before with no problems so far. I am running crossfire with an Intel i7 920 and have not noticed anything special yet but everything appears to work fine. The fan control for the 3870 still does not work but I guess they gave up on fixing that a while ago!

Re: Latest ATI Catalyst Video Drivers

Exactly what is a super MOD? I just have to ask! No disrespect intended as I was a MOD at a site years back. Does the title come with some sort of cape to wear?

 

[Airbot]

Re: Latest ATI Catalyst Video Drivers

Yeah, a cape and a mask. Supermod has more abilities than a regular mod. About all I can say.

 

[Techymike]

Thanks for your info on the supermod. It sounds like a lot more work from what I recall!:D Any way, the new download worked fine with no problems, just be sure to un install your ATI program before installing this new one first so ther is no conflict. Reboot then install. It works just fine.
