I've got the 8.6 beta running on my 2600xt AGP. Doesn't work great, but I don't use it a whole lot anyways. Plays Halo for an hour or two before crashing...

eidairaman1 · Jun 20, 2008, 08:45 PM

The Drivers you probably have sliverel, are not meant for the AGP card, and for all we know is we cant exactly confirm the drivers being 8.6 but if i recall, AGP driver will be released many days later after the launch of the regular driver

BTW the driver can be found here

LOL

W1zzard needs to RE-DO all those benchmarks!

(Who wants to tell him.... not me!)

yogurt_21 · Jun 20, 2008, 09:01 PM

nah he'll just use them for the 4870's next week doesn't seem worth it to repeat all those tests on the 4850's lol

WarEagleAU · Jun 20, 2008, 09:30 PM

Wow, super quick. Who on here has a 4850 already

Quick! Find a place where they have run out of 8800 GT's!

HaZe303 · Jun 20, 2008, 09:41 PM

I have ordered a Sapphire 4850 yesterday, hopefully ill get it monday/tuesday. So this is great news for me! Hopefully now I can get rid of the damn "nvlddmkm" bsod error im getting with my current 8800GT in my HTPC?? And next month because these cards are so damn cheap(not like nv´s monster priced) I will be picking another one for a xfire setup, or Ill buy a 4870 and get hybrid xfire or whatever ATI calls it? Thx ati, you get me, im not buying anymore gfx cards for 500+ euro´s. Now I can scale instead, buy two of these babies in crossfire I´ll get almost same performance as gtx 280, and in some games even better. And for less money. I could almost get xfire x with 4 of these for the same price of a 280??? So thx ATI, you understand that if PC is to remain as a competetive "gaming" plattform this is the future. No more cards costing 500+ euros. The most highend card should cost max 300euro/3500 swedish kronor.

Do you have a 4850? http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?t=63476

Interesting, excellent performance on the 8.6 drivers and an increase already with the hotfix.
I'm looking forward to seeing anyones benches with the hotfix.
I have the feeling that in the near future my bank account is going to take a hit.

SheetCake · Jun 21, 2008, 07:44 AM

see, this is why i wish i was on ATI, they dont hold out on owners of their cards just so they can pull out a magic driver to boost benches against the compotition like nvidia has done with the 177.xx drivers.....

blah, oh well, at least i got a decent card

ilpalmare · Jun 21, 2008, 01:01 PM

I don't know. i have tested 8.5 and HOTFIX 8.6 with the same frequences.
