AMD Releases ATI Catalyst 8.7 Graphics Driver Package

Stability is much improved. I am very happy with the update!

LifeOnMars · Jul 22, 2008

Just gonna try these out on my newly sooped up 4850...stability sounds promising.....

Silverel · Jul 22, 2008

For the record, I was asking about my 2600xt in those last posts.

On the other hand, going from 8.4 to 8.7 got me an extra 30 points on my 3850. lol.

ViciousXUSMC · Jul 22, 2008

Im almost scared to try them, those "leaked" 8.7s broke the living hell out of my system not allowing me into windows with a totally black screen and I read into them and they were supposed to be fake. Everybody that tried a 4850 bios flash suffered the same issues, and they were hard as hell to remove/fix.

But these are offical so it should be ok, shame that most of the performance boosts are for single cards and not crossfire, but you would think if a single card runs faster then crossfire would too....

Anyways I was having artifact issues in crysis so may as well try these to see if its fixed. Wish me luck

And yeah stay away from the 8.7 betas they are evil.

Theese drivers killed my framerates. Ill try a fresh install.

Silverel · Jul 22, 2008

Meh, CoD4 likes em.

erocker · Jul 22, 2008

These drivers work great so far on my HD4870. Lots of benching to do tomorrow!

MadClown · Jul 22, 2008

I did a fresh driver instal and my performance is were it should be now, ill have to check out Crysis tomorrow.

Edit: it already is tomorrow, lol

InnocentCriminal · Jul 22, 2008

Downloaded them this morning before work, I'll give 'em a shot in the mouth tonight. ^^

I'm only 403 marks off 10K in ePenis06 so if these drivers can give me any improvement I'll be happy.

Especially where it counts.... as in CoD 4 & Crysis!

LOL tks a lot Erocker, but im really disapointed sorry for the past words but its the true, i will only see this thing better when i saw results of it, Try to understand me i pay a lot for a PEGCARD i test it i make all the things possible to use it at the maximum and i dont have any kind of gain i only spent energy time and much patience of this = disapointment

If i spent this time playing games i will more happy but this things dont work 100%

Hey man I went from a 2900XT to a 3870 and then to a 4850 without an issue. The 4850 without a doubt is the best bang for the buck. If your getting a BSOD then maybe you're overlocking it to far. My mobo doesn't take to ANY kind of OCing. Maybe yours is the same.

Whatever the issue you are having I can say with all honesty your in the minority. Also if your having such a big problem why don't you start a thread like erocker suggested. We all like to help! :toast:

johnnyfiive · Jul 22, 2008

Gotta say it again. I love ATi.

sebx · Jul 22, 2008

What about World in Conflict DX10 ? Is there any improvement on 3870 ?

InnocentCriminal · Jul 22, 2008

Right, I haven't been able to install the 8.7's so it looks like I'm waiting for the hotfix.

CRAP!

For all the aging AGP'ers.

Well the readme says:
"Resolved Issues for the Windows Vista Operating
System"
...
"World In Conflict: Setting the video quality to high no longer results in corruption
being noticed. Further details can be found in topic number
737-35884"

So I guess that's an improvement

Or at least a sign that they used WiC in their test system on vista, which is where you'd use DX10.
So why don't you get them and try them.

ilpalmare · Jul 22, 2008

I have installed 8.7 official ATI and i have 2 radeon 4870 in crossfire mode: ALL OK

3DMARK VANTAGE from P7460 tested wuth 8.6
to P10750 with first releas 8.7 that support crossfire perfect.

I think with the new 8.8 that comes out for the 4870X2 the performance goooo gooo :toast:

UPDATE... 00.13
Tested RACE GRID: 1680x1050 Ultra quality in all video setting : 4X antialiasing ... always during the race fix to 105fps WOWOWOW

Arrakis9 · Jul 23, 2008

thanks.

ilpalmare · Jul 23, 2008

I was curious and i have tested the driver 8.7BETA.... and surprise :twitch:

go better than 8.7 OFFICIAL

3DMARK VANTAGE with 8.7 OFFICIAL P10750
With 8.7BETA P10955

205 point is very much :toast:

And another thing that i have noticed.. with 8.7 official there's the texture problem in the first 2 test 3d mark vantage, than with the 8.7BETA the test is perfect

:eek:

Someone have tested this thing?????

Matteo

Scrizz · Jul 23, 2008

8.7beta was kinda buggy for me

imperialreign · Jul 25, 2008

Just curious . . . has anyone had any unusual issues with CAT 8.7 and the 3870 series?

I've been running into a lot of game crashes since installing 8.7, even getting error messages from ATT that "ATI Tray Tools has run out of system resources." :wtf:

lock-ups, crashes, artifacting, GPU unresponsive requiring VPU recover to kick in . . .

even reflashed my cards back to stock speeds . . . still . . .

I'm gonna clean 8.7 off and throw 8.6 back on and see if anything changes; just wondering if I'm the only one with these issues . . .

Anybody have an idea why? I am using 2 X1950Pros and Catalyst says "one card is disabled" but device driver has both functioning properly :confused:
