Featured Replies

Ciao to all,I've a RAdeon SApphire 9800XT with drivers 8.231.0.0 dated 21/02/2006, is it worth for me to upgrade them with the new CAtalyst?Will they give me more performance?Otherwise what would you suggest me to do?If I change them, is there a tool?Thanx anyway for your help...;o)PacoAMD Athlon 642800+1,8 Ghz2Gb RamMainboard VIA K8TM/K8MM (MS-6741 v1.X)Radeon 9800XT 259Mb AGP2 GB RAM 133MHzFS2004737 and 747 PMDG777 and 757 PSSASVItaly pack

Paco,What are you running, XP or Vista?.The new drivers include tons of updates Focusing mainly on Vista and the HD2900XT.Some of the updates include giving 15-20% better HDR support for HD capable games. Fixed issues for certain resolutions not being able to show running Vista.There is alot more, but given that your running a 9800, my opinion, since you wont be able to take advantage of most of the updates incorporated into this latest release,is to stick to your current driver (If it is working good for you ofcourse).If you still want to try the new even bloatier drivers,1. Unistall the drivers, with DriverCleaner + CCleaner optionally.2. Install the new Catalyst.3. RE-Install DirectX.4. Rebuild FS .CFG____Sidenote: If you really want to increase your overall performance, update your hardware, CPU,GPU,MOBO,MEM. Looking at your system-specs, just updating a driver alone, will not give you a very if all noticeable boost in performance.

Thanx a lot,I've XP Pro 64 bit...;o)I think I'll keep my old drivers since the new ones r more for Vista...Thanx anyway,,,Paco
