*Waits for an nVidia fanboy to talk about how terrible ATi drivers are!*

How long will it take before the "ATi has crappy drivers" argument is no longer valid?

It'll probably be one of those things that just sticks to peoples minds for a very very long time 🙁

Forgot to ask, is there a link somewhere to find the best way to unistall the old drivers? I did a search before and didn't find what I was looking for :/

I uninstall them through "Add/Remove Programs" then use RegCleaner to delete any remaining registry entries for ATi. Then I install the new ones.
 
Heck yeah, I love ATI. I just got my 8500 couple months ago, and just the options for the card itself are great!
 
Anyone have 60hz fix? That's the only thing I hate about upgrading video drivers, the darn 60hz bug with Win2k/XP.

The last couple catalyst versions have a refresh overide for DX in the monitors properties under the advanced "displays" tab, Rage3d tweaker also alows you to set the refresh rate for any of your resolutions(amoung other things)

The DX is all fine and dandy, but what about OpenGL?

Just set the minimum refresh rate in your monitor .inf file and you never have to worry about refresh rate fixes.
 
While we're at it, I wanna ask a question.

When will the "VIA has suck @$$ chipsets" mentality go away? It seems almost as pointless and ludicrous as the "ATi has suck @$$ drivers" mentality.

I agree with you. It's the only problem i have with this forum that keeps me from getting a yearly subscription.
 
OMG now I can play Rallisport Challenge at 4x FSAA and 8X Aniso without any hiccups!

I would play at a higher setting in Direct3D, but the replays start chopping out. Need a faster processor...doh!

I wub my 9700 pro....sniff.
