ATI Catalyst 8.4 Released

JrRacinFan · Apr 17, 2008

Oh sweet! So, just uninstall current drivers, shutdown, install second card and bridges then give the drivers a whirl. How nice! Now the next question I have, is it possible to run a 2600 XT + Pro in crossfire? lol

Para_Franck · Apr 17, 2008

Sweet, i might consider adding a HIS 3870 ice3Q turbo in CFX with my 3850 Ice3Q turbo. I got my new DFI 790FX-M2RS Yesterday. I am still putting her back together. The CFX possibility is most appealling. With two nice Ice3Q turbos sitting side bye side and my OCZ ATI crossefire edition ram.

Well I guess I will have to work at least another month to ad another Video card in there. I will see then.

Dude, thanks Erocker. Looks like Ill be downloading these and forgoing my tweakforce drivers, that is, until they get 8.4s made

CCC failed to load for me, well it loaded but i couldnt get at it. went back to 8.2 [im in xp]

had the same issue in XP - keep trying!

My third attempt to un/install 8-4 succeeded.
3DMark06 improved ~200 points (HD3850) and this driver feels faster overall (for me)

erocker · Apr 17, 2008

Just tested with 8.4's and crossfire. Wow! Take a look at the 3dMark06 discussion thread here. These drivers rock! :rockout:

CrackerJack · Apr 17, 2008

i didn't notice a difference at first, so i did another deep clean of the driver and ccc. installed 8.4, and BAM i notice difference now. but only with a single card

erocker · Apr 17, 2008

It's because with two cards your system is bottlenecked. A new Phenom would help that out.

zaqwsx · Apr 17, 2008

I have my Phenom 9600BE up for sale for $185. Also 8.4 worked fine I also never had any problems with 8.3. I have windows xp home

ShadowFold · Apr 17, 2008

All of my games got atleast a 5fps boost with these. TF2 I alot better now! It used to dip in the 20's when I ran onto the 2fort bridge but now its in the 40's

Where you talking about my cards? or somebody else?

erocker · Apr 17, 2008

Yes I was actually talking about your processor. I just did a ton of testing with crossfire and a 5000+ BE. There is deffinitely a bottleneck.

yeah, see that too. Bottlenecks really bad during encode. I plan to get a phemon sometime this summer. Not in less I can get this one sold sooner.

Phemon 9850 yeah? or na?
Thats what i'm thinking about getting

erocker · Apr 17, 2008

9850 ftw! Let these new drivers shine!

yeah that's what i plan to do. i seen on another site were a guy got 3.2ghz. but 3ghz i should be able to get that on air. couldn't i?

erocker · Apr 17, 2008

Yes, and let's keep this thread on topic please. Thanks.

ShadowFold · Apr 17, 2008

You would think. I know that one review guy did.

JrRacinFan · Apr 17, 2008

Did not work out too well for me. I get something regarding "setup could not complete can not find matching hardware" or something of that nature so I just reverted back to Omegas 4.84. Those work actually very well.

warup89 · Apr 17, 2008

so hmmm this drivers truly show their potential on windows XP huh? anybody noticed something different on vista? :confused:

15th Warlock · Apr 17, 2008

Any official support for HD38x0 series on AGP?

Would be nice for AMD to throw us a bone three months after they released AGP HD3850 cards :ohwell:

No, they just actually work with crossfire and XP unlike 8.3's. There should be no problems with Vista. 8.3's worked fine for me with XP as well but only with a single card. Crossfire was broken.

The release notes state that it covers all 38XX series cards. No where does it say it's limited to PCI-E. Have you tried the 8.4's yet?

sam0t · Apr 17, 2008

These drivers fixed CCC OC for my 3870, happy camper here.

With 8.3 and mild OC (800/1200) I would get a hard crash every 1h of gaming :/

Nick89 · Apr 17, 2008

I'm useing 8.2 ATM with a Powercolor X1950XT 512mb, do you think I'll see any differance? and is there any notabled bug fixs from 8.2 to 8.4?

InnocentCriminal · Apr 17, 2008

I've noticed a bit of a drop, from 5296 with 8.3's in 3DMark06 to 5082.

I've also lost frames in CoD 4, might reinstall them and give them another shot in the mouth before I go back to the 8.3's or even 8.2's.

antzen · Apr 17, 2008

3DMark05/06: A performance drop is no longer noticed when running the
benchmark under Windows XP.

that's right !
after the poor 8.3+hotfix now a perfect driver . thanx ATI ! :respect:
