CATALYST 7.4 drivers out

[KNiVES]

I'm joining Loadsamoney in his sentiments regarding Nvidia's shoddy performance (5 months and no Vista drivers? Not even any official standard ones? roflcoptercakes). C'mon ATi hurry up with the R600.

Thanks

Since 7.3 Sam Fischer in double agent has been getting some weird textures in snow levels :S And only when in certain areas

The "alternative" suit looks kinda cool actually, but not really suiting

Anyone have solutions?

Wait another month or two... they should have it fixed by 7.6/7.7, 7.5 if you're lucky.

Submit a ticket to Driver feedback (special ATI feedback for problems in particular games) and most probably they will fix it (if its their fault) in the next release.

How are 7.4? I'm on 7.2 still

Just updated to 7.4 and TDU seems smoother at 1280x1024 with 4x AA and 8x AF and AAA set to quality and HDR on. Compared to it was struggling before on 7.1 drivers. Although when your in your house it is stutter heaven. But when your driving on the road its playable.

5 months? The last WHQL vista drivers from Nvidia were 20th Feb. Hardly 5 months. And they have relased more drivers than ATI if you look at the last week

I dont think beta drivers count as releases in my book

installed the 7.4s on XP x64 last night with no issues. had a quick blast on BF2 to try them out and they seem decent. still hate CCC though.
will try stalker out tonight to see if there's any bump in that.

I dunno if its just me, but ever since I installed the 7.4s I've gotten a few extra marks on 3DMark2006.
Where as before I was using the 7.3s.

You can get BF2 to work on XP 64-bit? The CD-check errors out for me in 64-bit.

7.4'S have sorted a rv6 issue out for me....everytime i used 2 run in the game it speeded up then slowed down(not lag)....now its just smooth at one speed

^Lie?

I still get the random slow downs. Like in the first mission where you have to go to the low wall and shoot at enemies down an alleyway - theres major lag there.

maybe its the game

dude i mentioned "not lag" in brackets......i know the lag you are talking about in mexico.....i doubt any computer could run through that smooth.....im talking about when you run it speeds up and slows down......the issue was not there in the six series drivers or the early sevens.....when i installed 7.3 i got the slow down.....7.4 sorted it

i cant believe it......i thought i would play the beginning mexico mission again because i like the music that goes with it......so you get dropped off then u hide behind the first wall and kill the guy.....then you turn the corner and go towards the low wall with bottles on it.......now there i used to get ultra major lag......i cant even remember experiencing lag that bad.......but to my surprise there was hardly any lag there.....really i could easily kill the bad guys......at first i thought hmmmmm maybe its because i got the hints turned off....so i turned them on and restarted again.....same thing no lag......im amazed you see i havent modded any rv6 files all thats diff is cat 7.4's....WELL DONE ATI.....thats if it was the cat 4's that fixed it....must be tho because i havent changed anything else


edit....actually i remember doing something now......i unistalled the game and then re-installed it and applied the four patches individually... and everytime i installed a patch i started the game to check something.
