@CR15T1, Nope.. Mine is an onboard chip, not a AGP card. The AGP hotfix stops saying it could not find any updatable hardware.

@Calvin, Me too. In my case worse, as I've never had a successful install. Win7 just snubs its nose up at it. This has been on going from build 7000 to the present 7260. Just don't understand why.

@Adarsha, I guess you have a AGP card, then you should use AGP hotfix from here: https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/hotfix/9-5_agp-hotfix_xp32_dd_ccc.exe

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A215 with Radeon X1200 series onboard chip.
I am trying to install ATI WDM Integrated Driver & Catalyst Control Center (or WDM driver marked as Windows 7 WHQL Driver) from http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx.

IN the install wizard, it does not list Catalyst Control Center as one of the items, only options available are VC++, Update Manager and South Bridge driver, which are already upto date.
I even tried removing the windows update driver and then the wizard fails to detect my hardware.

Can you suggest something?

Your upgrade from a 9600 to a 4850 should have yielded you a huge performance gain, regardless of any potential driver bugs. What issues are you having exactly? I understand and hear your points above, just looking for clear examples.

I LOVE AMD I will never go back to intel! this daul core AMD 64×2 cool and quit is the best so far that AMD came out with and the prices are so low you cant say no i just put togother two gigabyte boards. the first one has Nvidia 6150 onboard with a single 512 ram 667mhz with alot of options to upgrade evenmore I have windows xp 32bit os. with option to upgrade to 64bit os. and i can play almost all the new games with no lag. Now the sec one has the same board same onboard chip but it has Vista with 1gig at 667mhz now just to let u all now i can go up to 1600mhz bus side speed as u can im not even close to that and these systems fly!!
P.S. I LOVE AMD

9.5 works very well on my 4870 X2. I use Vista 64, Power DVD v.8 and Avivo (hardware video decoding) was working for me with 9.4 and possibly earlier versions, just not very well. I haven’t checked 9.5 yet to see if Avivo works better than it did before.

Lastly, in this forum and others related to ATI video card thermals, I am always seeing these really high temperatures bandied about. Right now my 4870 X2 is at 36 degrees celcius, after 1:44 minutes of GTA IV at 1920 x 1200 (all settings at enthusiast) it is 52 degrees celcius. My enclosure is an unmodded Antec 1200 with intakes set to maximum, exhaust fans at minimum and video card at 50% with manual fan control. Am I just lucky?

The drivers are good under vista, mas in win7 my experience with this issue, is that sometimes it gives some bsod when using IE8….not playing, but only surfing…is the ati driver….

Edge-enhancement Doesn’t work under vista x64.
Vector adaptive Doesn’t work under vista aero mode (8.12 , 9.1 , 9.3 , 9.4 , 9.5 also have this severe bug on 4XXX series)

@Hun73r, I'm sure that the Catalyst release notes (for which he mentioned the improvements) reflect improvements on AMD systems.

after a couple of minutes of playing test drive unlimited or other games my monitor goes blank and the vide card fan goes at maximum rpm just like when you reboot your pc,and I need to restart my computer. P.S The temperatures are normal. I ony have this problem with Catalyst 9.4 and 9.4. With Catalyst 8.12 it rocks it work’s perfect no blank scrren no nothing. In my opinion Catalyst 8.12 was the best ati driver ever.

What I am waiting for is the AVIVO Converter to run under XP x64 on my HD 2400.

I am aware of a lot of AMD publishing the gone years.

@Rando, Where are you getting the temp figure from? I haven't experianced it myself but I have read from others of some temp readings varying by up to 20'C

@Rando, clean out the video card... also what model do you have? Overclocked? How is the airflow in your case? Maybe another PCI card is blocking the fan for your 4870x2. I have the tri fan asus model and it stays nice and cool, 107 is very hot.

@Mantas, I wish it were the case, but the cables work fine... before installing ATi drivers I get a perfect picture (vista installs its own drivers) but after the ATi install, no signal to monitor through DVI. It is widespread problem and the community has even come up with workarounds (installing old XP drivers manually on vista). If the community can fix it, why can't ATi?

Does 9.5 support (limited) compute shaders on i)Windows 7, ii) Vista SP1? I have a HD 4850 card.

@xfloggingkylex, This problem could be because of your cables. Try changing DVI or VGA cable.

I have an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro graphics card. I don’t understand from the information here whether I should download this package or not. Could you let me know what information I need?
