ATI 9.4

[willy]

So is this the same as the BETA version?

 

[Mr Paul]

Whats with the new overdrive autotune? Just stays on that colour screen forever......

If you extract the drivers once downloaded, then do the Device Manager, Update Driver, and point it to the extracted 9.4's, the driver will install for Win7 apparently.

I tried this but it said best driver currently installed. Which folder did you use exactly?

looks to me like these are the exact same as the Beta version becuse the strings are the same aswell as the new ati overdrive image on screen when applying autotune..

ATI are really slipping with there driver releases there getting more **** by the minute.
what do they do in 4weeks sleep for 3 and work on the drivers for 1 ? lol

I havn't tried it, im just going to stick with the 9.3's as theres nothing new in these by the sounds of it, so im guessing they are mainly an official set for the 4890's, as they never release them in the first week of the month.

 

[mpj88]

Me thinks they were more focused on the 4890 this release!

 

[chuck990]

why wont they let vista users download the drivers only?

 

[Cyber-Mav]

odd these drives dont seem to support my x1900xt pcie or my x1950pro agp.

something not right here. back to 8.12 i guess.

These are only for 2000 series and up, older cards than those are not getting monthly support anymore, those are only going to get new drivers quarterly from now on.

Many thanks

is the win 7 driver sorted yet?

Nope, just downloaded it and tried installing it. Catalyst Install Manager suggests that everything went OK, but checking the Rivatuner gadget shows I'm still using the WDDM driver.

Back on 9.3 until they fix it, I guess.

You have to do the driver via the Device Manager, once you've ran the installer and only got the CCC installed, go Device Manager, Update Driver, Have Disk, then point it to the 9.4 folder, installs driver that way, just bit of a pain.

Same here - including a rather crap looking AMD logo.

9.4 > Packages > Driver > Display > LH6A_INF

The 9.3's Vs 9.4's.

Weird?? They drop at 1900...

 

[strumpusplunket]

Hmmm. Won't be installing these, then.

ATI not doing themselves any favours regarding their reputation for dodgy drivers, it seems.

 

[Noto]

how are they dodgy? they dont improve FPS in a benchmark, maybe they are more stable... maybe they fix more bugs. maybe the drop in FPS makes that game playable with no errors.
