ATI driver question...

[locutus12]

when i got my X1800XT 512 i used cat 6.1 drivers and got 9200 3D05 points, then i upgraded to 6.4 and lost 1000 points on 3dmark 05 i scrubbed the os and went to omega 6.3 drivers as ive never tried them, my score stayed the same.

ive just upgraded my cpu from a venice 3000 to an opty 146 and clocked it to 2.7Ghz which gave me an extra 600 3d05 marks lol, must have had a bottleneck so now im at 8800 points and going back to the 6.1 drivers,

my question is, is there anyway to use the old contol center as opposed to the current CCC as quite frankly... i hate CCC, talk about over complicating things

Those drivers cyclops12 posted to are just the Cat Drivers, but they don't have the CCC, they have the old CP, or you can just download the Drivers seperately and then grab ATi Tray Tools from Guru3D.

Follow cyclops12's instructions. Or read the thread I gave. They'll both get you to the firemv page on Ati that has the old style control panel.

 

[cyclops12]

if you follow the link you get cats 6.3 with the old control panell
they are no different than any other cats!!!!

and sorry fornowagain i only gave instructions as the direct link came up with
Unauthorized download on the ati site

 

[locutus12]

ah i understand, i went to the wrong ones, (firemv for vista) thought it was some new system i hadnt yet seen

 

[titaniumx3]

Would you be missing anything important between cat 6.3 and 6.4 ???

(The FireMV page only has the 6.3 drivers)

 

[cyclops12]

for some reason they are 1 behind all the time so when 6.5's go offical[any day now] the firemv 1's will be 6.4

Hmm how odd, just downloaded the 6.5's from rapidshare, and the look real, same icon as the 6.4's, full package, says ATi technologies etc...

6.4's end in 31959, 6.5's end in 32464.

 

[locutus12]

bah, rolled back to 6.1`s and my 3d05 marks still the same at 8800. makes no sence... when i first installed the card i got 9200 3D05 marks, updated drivers and got 8200, updated cpu and got 8800, went back to original drivers and got 8800.
