Check if it has "RC2" in the name: if it does, you have the wrong version.

You need one that has "RC3" in the name.

I may be wrong but i believe you have the wrong version. Does it have "rc3" in it's name?

EDIT

The file name should be "vista32-64_8-561rc3-081201a-072643E_CAT-8-12.exe"

Since i don't have any of the games listed in the OP, nor do i have 3DMark and Vantage installed ... can't really say: sorry

I don't notice any differences in ... Diablo II ...

No worries... i have mark06 and will see what it does now.... the RC3 worked flawless and it was the best driver by far to load.... :toast:

I too have been having that problem, however, i only have a single 3870. Perhaps its and issue with the 3000 and 4000 series, as i have recently sold my 3870, and in its place have been running a 2600 Pro, and surprisingly, sleep mode has functioned as it should.

back on topic, hopefully the video conversion and "stream" stuff will find its way to the 2000 and 3000 series. would sure make my 2600 pro a lot more useful in my HTPC.

Not just an ATI issue, I have an older gaming rig running SLI and it does the same thing comming out of sleep... Must be a DRM thing, def driver related.... Yea Vista!! Common Windows 7...

Will wait for final, last time beta was a headache

Seems to be mostly just Vista, 4850s in crossfire, and sometimes intel chipsets.

Not effecting 4870s for some reason.

they're waiting on the GTX 295

ilpalmare · Dec 5, 2008

My configuration with 2x 4870 in crossfire not function.... 1 card is correctly installed... the second was disabled by windows vista because is incompatible :banghead:

Whyyyyyy

eidairaman1 · Dec 5, 2008

I wonder if this Driver will Support AGP parts out of the box or are we going to have to wait for the Hotfix Driver?

Frizz · Dec 5, 2008

Thanks for the news, got the drivers up and running... may I say hell yeah? Everything is running like pie! Running crysis wars and far cry 2 so much better, no benchmarks from me though. Sigh now if only I got my other 4850 back from RMA >=[

CAL is part of ATI Stream its mainly like CUDA for ATI, it should allow ATI cards to stomp Nvidia cards in F@H if we are lucky

Are these drivers having the same stupid issues that stopped a lot of people didn't install the 8.11s for?

worked fine when i installed RC3 over 8.11 on 4870 / Vista SP1 64-bit

Usually the release candidates do support AGP, the 8.11 betas did, so I'm going to presume these do as well. I'll be installing them tonight after work. If you haven't tried them out before me I'll tell you what I think.

:rockout:

UPDATE: Maximum disappointment! It wouldn't install

I've now gone back to the 8.11 RC2 as this was the set I managed to get 9606 with - hopefully I'll be able to break that score.

eidairaman1 · Dec 5, 2008

Well I may wait for Final Release Drivers and Probably a Format to get this machine fresh, I was thinking about getting a copy of Vista and puting it to a diff HD and run XP and Vista Parallel and see how Vista does, but it seems NF2 Dont have New Drivers, along with the SATA Controller.

niko084 · Dec 5, 2008

I like these, things seem a bit smoother, may have to do with my fresh install last night but I keep my systems really clean.

Drizzt5 · Dec 5, 2008

Are these new drivers expected to fix any crossfire issues?
