It's there under the desktop and displays part ,you right click on monitor pic and select configure,you'll see it in the Avivo Color tab near top.

Thanks for that but I've already gone back to the 9.6s due to the crashing, at least I know it's there now anyway and they haven't taken it out altogether.

I'll wait for the official Sapphire ones to emerge before trying the 9.7s again.

Working fine for me,did you uninstall the old ones first?..I know some people are lazy and install over the top which is a bad thing to do if they change the CCC layout in the new driver package like in the 9.7.

I can't find the bundle I can only see the 9-6 with the display driver as 9-7 oh well

and arma2 don't like crossfire

Dont forget the -xpconfig fix or try renaming the exe to crysis.exe

AMG · 23 Jul 2009 at 17:09

I am feeling a little lazy today so I did just install over the top.

I'll completely remove all ATI software and try again when the Sapphire 9.7s are released.

check the ArmA II thread or search google, it just seems to need to be done to get xfire to work.

AMG · 23 Jul 2009 at 17:52

ah, I see, i don't have to use crysis through, I suppose I can use any that likes xfire

MoRT489 · 23 Jul 2009 at 19:17

So i understand.

Defiance_co · 23 Jul 2009 at 19:17

Arma2 with 9.7's does not need the -winxip inserted

If using the 9.7's you don't get xfire working, then look for card trouble not driver xfire support missing

AMG · 23 Jul 2009 at 19:18

I m on 9-5s atm

C64 · 23 Jul 2009 at 19:31

I have never used CCC I find ati tray tool far superior I just download the driver only.
You can put all your settings in on ati tray tools and not even have it running as a process and it works.

Ice Rich · 23 Jul 2009 at 19:41

Am i right in saying there will be a XP release?

Cooper · 23 Jul 2009 at 19:48

4-8% slower across the board for me.....thanks ATI....

MoRT489 · 23 Jul 2009 at 20:15

lmao, just roll back to 9.6!

AMG · 23 Jul 2009 at 20:31

I perfer 9-5s more I got performaces issues on 9-6 o.O

bodybag · 23 Jul 2009 at 22:17

just installed these drivers, from 9.6...crysis for me is choppy, going back to 9.6.....

This is my first ATI card, the card is amazing (4870) , what ever happened to the ati drivers? I remember once ATi were considered to have the best driver support!?!? (I think!)

cplhardnut · 23 Jul 2009 at 23:35

xp drivers are now up

ViRuS2k · 24 Jul 2009 at 00:11

ATI dont release enough drivers, its as simple as that.
they release 1 build every month.

what kind of buisness support is that ment to be. i mean if there crap like they mostly are LOL then we have to wait a month for another hopefull yet crap release again.

also game support, we have to wait months for a current game to get support by the time we get the driver the game is OLD LOL pritty crappy imho
