Hopefully, it will be uploaded to TPU! severs soon.

InfDamarvel · Feb 13, 2008

Ill see how these do with a 3850 cause the 8.1s > 7.12 omegas in COD4 surprisingly. Just switched yesterday lol.

Nitro-Max · Feb 13, 2008

wow lol went from 293kb to 31kb half way through.There must be alot of ati card owners waiting for this lol.

l33th41 · Feb 13, 2008

Ever since 8.1 I've experienced image corruption in Command and Conquer 3 with crossfire enabled. ( 2x 2900xt 512mb)

I've since reverted back to 7.12... Can anyone verify that this issue exists in 8.2?

Fitseries3 · Feb 13, 2008

ok... i've installed and tested the 8.2 driver and picked up 120pts in 3dmark06. is that good? sorry for the dumbness... im new to ati cards.

sai- · Feb 13, 2008

they've fixed the red link problem =D

CY:G · Feb 13, 2008

If you are running at the same settings, I'd say that is a pretty significant gain! :toast:

LOL 120 points from any half decent card is little enough to call random point difference....

When I compare drivers/os/cards I run 10 3dmark06 runs same settings, take high/low and average of the 10 runs with each card.

that's what i figured. i know from my nvidia setups that the driver update only gives you +/- 5-10 points. i figured the 120point increase was significant. it's definitely not a 30% increase. not even 5%.

Ya they say up to 30% increase, which means in some programs you will see a bunch on some setups and on others you will see nothing.

I always take 3dmark with a grain of sand, unless they are having REALLY severe problems with drivers its not going to change much, unless they start building them for higher scores.

i also hope for hd3850 agp

I thought you ordered one of these cards a long time ago,what happened to it? :confused:

Can anyone confirm support for AGP 3850 boards on these drivers? Supposedly most e-tailers had the cards on stock, but were holding their inventories waiting for the 8.2s to be released... :wtf:

Nitro-Max · Feb 13, 2008

Well Guys so far ive only tested it in counterstrike source and im afraid to say ive actually lost fps ive never seen my card drop to 75fps ever!! in css but it does now most of the time its at or well above 200fps easy but its not making that target anymore

not impressed.

Nitro-Max · Feb 13, 2008

what would you guys recomend a total reinstal of my old ccc + driver or just the driver??

Dr. Spankenstein · Feb 13, 2008

Personally, I like to uninstall the whole thing and start fresh. If you left an Overdrive setting or something that doesn't work with the new driver, you'll most likely have to end up uninstalling it all anyway.

Does that make sense?

niko084 · Feb 13, 2008

I uninstall, run driver cleaner, and then re-install myself.

Dr. Spankenstein · Feb 13, 2008

That's the ticket!^^

WarEagleAU · Feb 13, 2008

Is it worth downloading with my current card?

eidairaman1 · Feb 13, 2008

are they fully AGP Compatible since the previous set required a patch.

ShadowFold · Feb 13, 2008

Hopefully I get a little better performance, my AMD rig really seems like crap since my intel mobo pooped..

eidairaman1 · Feb 13, 2008

well im having hard time running UT3 myself, Level 3 Detail and a 1024x768 Resolution, its not any better than a 9800 pro with level 2 and 1024x768.

GUYS I retract this statement its seems there was a issue with old driver files i did uninstall them but it seems some may have got left behind.I wonderd why it did'ent say found new hardware when i rebooted.But i carried on regardless i've now got 8.2 installed properly i used driver cleaner to delete everything and the new install is just as good as the old one in counterstrike source.
I cant see any fps improvement but tbh my card rarely drops below 200fps on a full server.And when i create my own game it sticks at almost a solid 299fps which is the limit anyway in counterstrike source so i couldnt really ask for more this card is a beast
