Is Catalyst 8.4 coming out soon?

entilza · Apr 13, 2008

So far it seems, as soon as the next month approaches, the driver hungry goonies start hyping it up and soon enough they get released

If it works I say keep the cycle going...

Dont get 8.3, if you already have it DO NOT get the hot fix for 8.3 it did nothin but bad for me.. AA wouldnt turn on games ran like crap.. it was a mess. I think 8.4 should come out in May. 8.3 came out in April right?

First of all, the Hotfix Drivers are meant to be installed by themselves, not ontop of another driver, basically means you install the hotfix driver and the individual CCC. Read the notes on what they fix- they are primarily for AGP cards.

I figured this out on the Cat 8.1- I installed the Hotfix ontop of the Regular 8.1 and i was having some messed up performance Problems, i removed it all and installed the 8.1 Hotfix with the CCC for 8.1s and no problems- games run smooth.

i have read somewhere that this hotfix is only for HD2xxx and it fixes some issues with 3d stuff. i have 2600xt ddr4, and with every new driver it gets so much better.
when the crysis came out it didnt worked at all with 7.10 drivers, but now its flying.

omg I can't wait for new drivers to come out lol

:rolleyes:

I'm not sure about these, but as I'm at work I can't test them but apparently they're the 8.4 beta set.

8.4 beta

8.4 beta

The do appear to be, that 8.3 Hotfix, that is apparently meant to be an 8.4 beta is a much smaller file than these. I'll give these a try when I get home from work later today.

InnocentCriminal · Apr 16, 2008

Good stuff, hope they work out for you!

SpookyWillow · Apr 16, 2008

alexp999 · Apr 16, 2008

Well I've just installed them, it never asked for a reboot :wtf:

.
But it has just upped my 3Dmark06 score 20 points!!!

Not much, but every little helps!

SpookyWillow · Apr 16, 2008

idk, i tested this a couple hours ago. with no big difference. It's not 8.4 drivers, it's 8.3.

SpookyWillow · Apr 16, 2008

yeah im going back to the 8.2's then i think

SpookyWillow · Apr 16, 2008

posts must be getting crossed somewhere

CrackerJack · Apr 16, 2008

Trying the official drivers now, wish me luck he he

SpookyWillow · Apr 16, 2008

crysis wont work with these, keeps crashing to desktop the second it starts to load.

Dirt on the other hand runs fantastically :O

EastCoasthandle · Apr 16, 2008

Gear up, they are ready for download

InnocentCriminal · Apr 17, 2008

Well, they didn't seem to do me any favours. My 3DMark06 score dropped dramatically from 5296 to 5082.

Plus my frame rates in CoD 4 are choppier than they were 8.3 - crapass!

>.<

SpookyWillow · Apr 17, 2008

same, i lost a lot on 3d06, not tried cod4 yet but every other game seems to be fine.

trog100 · Apr 17, 2008

i think we need to say whether or not we are useing XP or vista just to make sure we are talking about the same driver set..

the XP ones dont work for me.. 2005 instantly crashed and i am back to the splotchy colour blocks the same as with the 8.3s in crossfire crysis.. i never tried anything else just when back to the 8.2s.. everything after the 8.2s seem downhill for me..

warning do not install ontop of the 8.4 or other drivers as this will degrade performance, install by itself with the stand alone 8.4 CCC app and you should be good to go.

Duffman · Apr 20, 2008

Anybody in XP having issues with the CCC in this set? My CCC will not load, I jut get an error message. Thus, i cannot enable CrossfireX
