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...

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!) :roll:

yogurt_21 · Jun 20, 2008

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

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

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

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.

ShogoXT · Jun 21, 2008

Woops I guess someone else posted it before me. I sent him a PM though with the link in case he missed it.

SheetCake · Jun 21, 2008

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

Does it mean better overclocks?

ilpalmare · Jun 21, 2008

I don't know. i have tested 8.5 and HOTFIX 8.6 with the same frequences.
8.6 is very good, the VANTAGE test give me results to P8260.
