[Mohammed]

Hi all


From where I can get old AMD driver?



I mean I have graphic card XFX HD 4670 1GB . When I play It's Crashes every 30 min. even when i see video on YouTube

So I think It's need old driver Or it's compatible with Vista and XP (not Win7)


The driver came with card is v9.4 but support Vista & XP



So I need old driver. Any idea?

My friend has Sapphire Vapor-X HD 4870 2GB . The seller tell him
" if you are using windows XP, vista or windows 7 DO NOT use any catalyst software over 10.6 version. It will crash your system "

Over, you mean more than 10.6, like 10.7 or better? This is a joke man , I've been using 11.2 on a HD4870, it was working perfectly..

You can try any driver, older or newer. if it still crash, the problem might not be your driver, but maybe the card itself, or Power supply... or the OS..

Can you detail more about this? do you have a spare card to try?

go to tpu download section, pick the latest ati driver for the OS you want, below the download button is a list of older versions

Really? That's an odd problem. I gave away one of my old systems to a really good friend that had a Radeon HD 4850 in it and running the latest drivers gave him no trouble. This happens even with the latest 12.2 drivers? What kind of crash do you get? A hard crash where everything locks up, a blue screen, or does windows say that your display driver recovered from an error?

Have you tried running MSI Afterburner to watch GPU/Memory clocks when you try to do something that uses video? I don't think that card has voltage control but it might tell you a little bit about what is going on. How about in another machine, is the video card still stable with the latest drivers? You might want to try ruling out the video card itself first.

Oh bro
drivers v12.2 too bad. When I installation it no "welcome screen" just black screen with strange color

but that happen 2 times then it's work fine

but not fine when playing game or watching YouTube video

So I was think it's Driver issue but it's not

before 3 hours I download driver v9.4 where " RejZoR " provide it but after 4 minutes playing PC frizzing and crash

and yes


I try to used MSI Kombustor to see max heat, So I get between 63 ~ 68
with no frizzing or crash

but when play game such as Dirt3 after 5 or 3 minutes crash , and GPU heat 61c when it's crash


So I don't think it's heat issue

becuse I try many thing to keep this card under cooling . even I change his Heatsinks

I try it on 4 different PC but same problem

all that pc has win 7



anyway thank you all for help

I think I will try it on Win XP or Vista

Card maybe dieing?

 

[RejZoR]

I think the problem is with the card itself if you're experiencing such problems across all driver versions.

 

[Mohammed]

The strange thing in this card I cant change memory clock

So it's now 400MHz

If I make it 401MHz or 399MHz graphic will crash

but Core clock I can only make it less than 750MHz


Thanks

Anyone who would suggest that 4xxx series hardware is best served by something other than the latest driver has been severely misinformed.

I'm currently running 2x 4870x2 and the only time I ever used anything but the latest drivers was the brief period of time after Catalyst 10.5 and before the 10.8b hotfix where the 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 (pre-hotfix) drivers all broke the internal crossfire in the 4870x2. Other than that using the latest drivers and latest caps has always provided excellent results. Even during that brief period of time I was still able to use the new caps on top of the older driver.

I too am running a 4870 in one of my rigs with the 12.2's with out any issues what so ever. Actually I am getting ready to install my second 4870 in crossfire in it.
