All ATi users as it says in the Quote!

Vista and XP hotfix. If you still can't find the article by searching click Radeon Support and it's the first newest article.

9500 series?

I used to love my 9500Pro. Don't have particularly high hopes for how one would run Bioshock though.

Also the search Tom specified doesnt work on ATI's site

Bleh, hippy AMD site.

Anyway just go to http://support.ati.com and there should be a BioShock topic link near the bottom of the page, click that then click download links

SS-89 · 20 Aug 2007 at 21:21

http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894

Scroll down and click the bioshock topic then click vista or xp hotfix on the next page.

So is this definitely a full install?

Worked, thanks

Will I need to remove previous drivers first or is it OK to just do this straight on?

Cyber-Mav · 20 Aug 2007 at 21:23

yes its a full install, also i noticed that a message came up saying the drive has not been certified or something. guess that means its not a whql certified driver.

doubt ati will bother to certify it anyway, roll on 7.9 i guess.

i ran the file then clicked update and it updated the driver for me no problems so far.

although i don;t even have the bioshock demo to test it out on.
