ATI Catalyst 9.3 Released

PCpraiser100 · Mar 19, 2009

Since they totally bummed the most of the previous ATI line, can they just add a little more juice to the HD 3000 series? Either way, I'm trying this out once I see improvements with the HD 4000 series.

The 9.2 driver is the only one where i get no glitch's or Video problems with, kinda strange really, but i think i might be willing to try 9.3

Thanks for posting it on here, I'd of never of known other wise (well not as quick anyways).

Apart from these vga driver issues i have no problem with xp64, i like this OS.
But i suggest you, to wait for windows7 x64.

But if you like more the xp series than the vista series, then you should give a try to xp64 too

Well i aqquired a propper disc from my friend

so i already have it but i had Wlan driver issue's with the 64bit, but now i've recently found a 64bit driver for it

SP2? That's the latest service pack for xp64.
Good luck

I'm hoping these will fix my DVI issue. Still using VGA.

what DVI issues were you having,... was it the red being sorta resized looking but the other colors being perfect? i was having these issues over HDMI which probably woulda been the same thing on DVI.

PCpraiser100 · Mar 20, 2009

I had a terrible time with 9.3. I couldn't even manage to boot XP x64 after install. Had to go safe in order to uninstall and fix issue. I'm sticking to my old drivers.

mc-dexter · Mar 20, 2009

The driver i got on the motherboard CD was never to clever with XP, Although it worked perfect on vista for me. but as i said before, 9.2 is the best one on XP and my mobo.

freakshow · Mar 20, 2009

so are these good or back any improvement in vista x64 im currently using 9.2 soo just wanted to know if there is any improvement

ShadowFold · Mar 20, 2009

They're working good for me in VistaX64

Scrizz · Mar 20, 2009

working good here on vista x64

Mussels · Mar 20, 2009

working great in vista x64 and 7 x64 here. zero problems whatsoever.

RadeonProVega · Mar 20, 2009

Using them now, no issues so far. I still do not have opengl 3.0 tho, its at 72%, using my 2400hd.

just finished benching alot of games with the new Driver including HAWX, http://www.megamers.com/forums/graphics-cards/46770-catalyst-9-3-analysis.html#post385239

You're not going to see much in the way of performance gains with a 2k or even 3k series GPU. At this point, they're kept in rotation for legacy purposes.

9.3 fixed something "major" for me. The halo effect on the water in CoD:WW. I used to get a white edge on all the puddles and water. With 9.3 that is now gone!

I read somewhere else on TPU another member was having the same issue. If someone comes across that post let them know would ya?

Yep me and another guy. I let him know already. Thanks

Steevo · Mar 20, 2009

100Pts less in Vantage than the "Vista X64 9.2" driver on either Vista or Windows 7.

Mussels · Mar 22, 2009

Update: supreme commander doesnt like these drivers.

Worked fine in 9.2, in 9.3 shorelines on most maps have an excessive glow. This can be fixed by disabling bloom, but its a bug that was introduced in 9.3

Anyone know how to report bugs to ATI? their reporting thing has a "survey expired" when you click to send.

eidairaman1 · Mar 22, 2009

Driver Sweeper, Driver Cleaner Pro, Tweakguides Catalyst Driver Removal Procedures, will make your machine as clean as possible, I just upgraded from 9.1s to 9.3s (Hotfix AGP), so far so good without problems, just gotta test in games.

Wile E · Mar 23, 2009

I had to roll back. I rolled back to 8.12. Once I installed my 4870X2 + 4870 1GB combo, 9.3 wouldn't give me any display options in Catalyst. Couldn't even set the resolution, let alone scaling and such. Tried cleaning and reinstalling them with no luck. I tried 9.1 as well, but my screen would randomly shut off. 8.12 is still the best Vista and Win7 x64 drivers for me.

eidairaman1 · Mar 24, 2009

hmm odd, i wonder why i dont have problems with driver removals, but most are? WTF? The only problem i had with Driver Removals was Setpoint 4.7, it wouldnt even let you install previous version because LULNCHR.EXE would basically Spasm into a launch loop that would put multiple instances into the taskmanager until the system would run out of resources, when previous versions were installed.
