On 6/28/2005 5:35 AM The Berzerker brightened our day with: >>Ok, here's my Question. They are telling me to download the 5.6 Catalyst, >>but my driver version is 6.14. Is the castalyst version supposed to be >>different from the driver version? Or do I have the latest drivers >>already? >> >>here's my rig >> >>Radeon 9600 pro (256 MB) >>P4 3.06ghz (2 CPU's) >>512MB RAM >>298MB used, 949 available (page file) >> >> > >Yes, update your drivers. That version number (6.4) is not related in a way >that you could simply compare the two. > >Take the others guys advice and use the latest Omega Drivers. It sounds like >you probably haven't updated your drivers in a while, so it may not only fix >your level problem, but also give you a nice performance increase. > > > > The latest Catalysts 5.x are video driver version 8.x, version 6.14 (the numbers after 6.14 are important) go all the way back to the 3.x catalysts. So the drivers could be two years old. If he looks through his Video control panel a bit he can find his actual catalyst version. I think on those old drivers, pre CCC, it's just listed under the options tab. -- "I don't feel tardy" Steve ¤»Inglo«¤ www.inglostadt.com
