go to control panel, uninstall ATI drivers, download driver cleaner pro, and clean with ati, and ati ccc, restart, install 9.8 drivers.

where do i go to uninstall divers after i click control panel?

 

[Annisman]

There should be something called catalsyt install manager or something like that, use that to uninstall, btw make sure you download the proper driver for your OS. such as 32/64 bit etc

 

[wh3resmycar]

can you take a screenie of the old one along with the new one (benchies)?

 

[sargentchimera]

no there is nothing that says that under control panel and i downloaded the 64bit vista which is my system

 

[Annisman]

Well, I don't have any screenshots using 9.7 so i don't think so.

Edit: well, actually I have been on 9.6

Nice returns on a single 4850

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

If these improvements are seen thruout their whole lineup, the 4890 is now the single fastest card, while your x2 is the fastest

vista 64bit home premium, you guys have to help me out, i have to get this fixed before tomorrow morning!

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

OK, go to add and remove drivers. find your drivers click and follow the directions.

 

[JAYDEEJOHN]

OK, then shut down your pc and reboot, itll look funky with the windows drivers, but thatll be ok, cause you can then reinstall your old drivers off the cd or download the old ones or even retry the new ones from the same place, which is what Id do.

 

[sargentchimera]

how can i just roll them back? system restore doesnt work!

Ill help you via remote assistance if you PM me. It'll cost you $20 paypal.

 

[the last resort]

I installed new drivers. played L4D for a while, 1920x1080. Everything absolutely max (8x AA, 16x AF) with triple buffering.

Doing a FRAPS benchmark says that the Max was 63, min 43, avg 59.733. If i do recall, the min before the new drivers would drop into the low 30's during a hoard, so that has improved.

I am using a 4850, clocks at 700 core 1093 mem.

It also appears that the F@H GPU client does not yet quite support the new drivers? Anyone else have anything on this? Each time I start the core the screen flickers, but it is using the GPU/CPU processing power, so I guess that its running.

It took em over a year, but oh it feels good.


makes up for literally 0% in game fps increases in their last 5 or 6 driver updates.
