ATI 9800pro driver question

[kd2777]

I'm putting together my new system and would like to know which Cat drivers are working the best.

TIA

So far the 4.3's are working great for me

Bit mixed on performance I feel but no corruption or noticeable bugs as far as I can tell.

What happens if you download ati's driver from their website and install it on windows xp pro without the service pack 1???

The 4.3s was working great in my old Epox 8KHA+ board that I retired this morning due to leaky caps,I installed the 4.3s in my new DFI NF2 Ultra Infinity board and guess what?....Still rock solid,so thumbs up .

Well, there's high probability of the MBR becoming corrupted, your .dll library being erased, the RIAA finding you and your dog will bite you...repeatedly.



[pirate]Yearghhhh, matey! Ye should be getting a full copy of WinXP next times ye'pirates some software!!![/pirate]

Ohh, BTW, the latest ATI Catalyst drivers (4.3? The ones on their website right now) are working great for me. I don't worry if my 3DMark score goes down 200 points. If the games run good, I don't get any crashes and my framerates are good, I'm a happy man. I usually go with the latest drivers for everything, unless it's well-known the drivers are "a bomb."

ATI hasn't released any crappy drivers in a long time. That's why I finally bought one of their cards. I'm very happy with it.
