ati 4850 questions.

[TanisHalfElven]

hi guys.
I just got a 4850 and ran into some issues.
1. where can i get the latest drivers. amd's websites list only till 3870 but i still dl'ed the driver and installed it (i think they still use the unified driver) and its catalyst v 8.6.
2. what software can i use for video transcoding that'll allow my own setting, the catalyst software sucks.
3. ati tray tools is unable to control the fan, what should i be using ?

1. use the latest 8.6 with the hotfix patch. the hotfix affects performance with 4800 series so be sure to get that

2. im sure u can find lots of video transcoding sw on the net. The cyberlink one is planned to support GPU acceleration, is what ive heard.

3. thanks to AMD, AtiTool maybe dying. try this << http://downloads.guru3d.com/AM...9.8-download-1985.html >>

Theres the Hotfix for the drivers. I'm not sure about the video transcoding. For the fan I have a thread on this. http://forums.anandtech.com/me...id=31&threadid=2203803
