AMD's website down... can't get drivers

[bupkus]

I hope they're back up soon. My 4850 video card howls and gets really hot whenever I play facebook's FarmVille, yet no problem playing Bioshock.

There are other places to get the latest drivers than just the ATI site.

Also, ATI's site is working for me
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-64bit

And that sounds more like a Flash problem.. So if changing driver versions/updating doesn't help, you might want to try uninstalling and reinstalling flash.

AMD's drivers cant handle Farmville?


At this point the drivers are so bad I am suspecting sabotage.

I don't know about that. I've been using the drivers that Windows 7 downloaded for me. I really want to know just how hot my GPU is getting. I burned my hand on it when I went to feel how hot. Oddly, exactly when I log off Farmville the howling from inside the case immediately stops.
Right now my screen res. is maxed at its native 2048 x 1152. There's only 512MB of memory on the 4850 card by VisionTek.

Update: site's back up, download done, installing now.

Is farmville a flash game? Make sure you have the latest cat beta and Flash 10.1

Ah, both AMD and NVIDIA offer flash acceleration using Flash 10.1.

So it may be his version of flash that is causing the conflict.

I downloaded 10 minutes ago the Cat 10.6 drivers for my brother in law and the page worked as usual.

I guess it was a short term problem. I downloaded using Kakkoii's link just below the op.
