August 22, 200520 yr I was about to install the ATI 5.7 drivers when I noticed that the ATI site now shows the latest as 5.8. Has anyone tried these with FS9?Also, they show an uninstaller, but it appears that it would wipe out all ATI-related files. I used to go to a generic VGA driver before switching drivers, but this no longer shows as an option since I installed the ATI Catalyst 6.14 and control panel. Not much help on the ATI site.Thanks for any help,Dale Dale
August 22, 200520 yr I'm using the 5.8's on a 9800 Pro and everything is fine. Yes, the installer does delete all the ATI-related files and on reboot after running it you'll get a plain-vanilla VGA driver until the 5.8's are installed.Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.

August 22, 200520 yr I like to remove the ATI folders that the installer did not delete. That way there is less chance of corruption with the new drivers.Terry
August 22, 200520 yr Hi Dale,Here's a web site you might be interested in concerning the ATI drivers: http://www.tweakguides.com/ATICAT_1.html.Jim
August 23, 200520 yr Author Thanks to all,I managed to install the 5.7 drivers, but was not happy with the results - the textures in FS9 seemed coarse as if it were at a lower resolution even though it was 1280 x 960. It may be that I need more up to date drivers for the motherboard (Gigabyte GA-8IHXP, no longer supported). I used system restore to go back to the 4.1 drivers and all is well.I may give the 5.8 drivers a try, now that I know the procedure.Dale Dale
