***Official CAT 3.8 Drivers Thread*** Anand's Review Online!

[rbV5]

Games all seem to be running fine. Everything's working with MMC 8.7 so far (MMX is still not identified during PC Check though?). I do wish the would offer some more skins. Rage Theater audio still has a conflict with Sonar WDM drivers however, and I can't get interlaced resolutions working right just like the last couple drivers. The uninstaller seemed to work great, and the install was uneventfull. Nice.

No sh!t man! That is one of my all time favorite games! 🙂

As a matter of fact, I'm playing through it again. I can't remember how to make the potion though, I can't get out of Skool. 🙁 🙂

is it just me or are the shader effects absolutely useless?

Hmm, is it worthwile to upgrade from 3.6 to 3.8 if I'm running a Radeon 9100?

Yes,newer drivers have bug fixes.

Normally we go into all sorts of detail on who should and who should not download this CATALYST driver. We lump the RADEON 8500 and RADEON 9000/9100/9200 owners together under ?DirectX 8 owners? and the RADEON 9500/9600/9700/9800 owners under ?DirectX 9 owners?. Today however, we?re not going to do that, as everyone benefits from today?s CATALYST 3.8 driver release. That?s right, every ATI owner

The shader effects are more for bling bling than usefullness.

the green ASCII is cool though.

RGB color cycle is sort of nice for testing color response times in a way. Also useful for diagnosising stuff such as which color isn't displaying correctly so you can manually adjust it's saturation, brightness, hue, etc.

Schedule tab in MMC seems to crash everything. I'll try a reinstall to be sure.
