ATI hmmm

[MacMiniBoy]

I have been with Nvidia for a while now, the last ati card I had was the 1800xt I think, I recently purchased the 4850 due to people having a tommy tank over it on these boards, I have to say sofar im a little disapointed, the card crashes on aquamark with a exception access violation, it feezes on the splash screen of 3dmark 03 and 05 and also kicked me out of sid meirs newest rail game.

Im sure this card will kick ass.....when I get it to work properly

sounds like you need to clean the drivers out on your system or re-install windows.

for 3dmark u need the hotfix..

for the freezeing what driver u using? try 8.6 hotfix drivers.

I don't take any chances when installing hardware such video cards. Do a proper job with the driver or format

These are not card related. As said you need to download and install the 3dmark hotfix, that works for all the 3dmarks. The problem with Aquamark is the the direcpll.dll in the Aquamark program folder, just delete it and it will run fine.

Is this a joke, wtf are you running 03/05 and Aquamark for.

If he is benching for a team, then he needs them to run
