ATI 7.12 Driver Released

Panama_Red · 12-22-07, 03:35 PM

I will tell you that the old ATI drivers (pre 7.6) worked great on my older ATI cards, but with the new 3870 cards, I only had the choise of 7.11 (original 3870 drivers) or the new 7.12 drivers. With the original 7.11 drivers, I was getting white or black artifacts all through my SH4 and SH3 games, but the 7.12 drivers, at least that is fixed.

Does the new driver work with ATI radeon X1950 pro and AGP? I had some serious problems getting the previous driver to work with my gfx-card...

Kriller, I can only tell you that my HIS X1950 Pro AGP 512 MB card does indeed work with the 7.12 drivers. But unfortunately, functionality and performance has been anything but consistant among x1950 owners, so take it a grain of salt. SH4 is working fine with the drivers, so is Half Life 2 Episode 2 . . . but that is all I've played so far since installing the new Catalysts. Good luck.

Thanks Letterboy.

It's strange because I get a "Can not initialize 3-d engine"

when I am trying to launch a game, it was the same with Catalyst 7.11, so back to Omega driver 7.10.. My card is X1950 256 mb Powercolor.
