XP32 and XP64 patchscript for FireGL and FirePRO (driver 8.44 and higher)

I did replace 50 94 with 01 95 for 3870 device id to get 7700 in gellmar's script
is there any better mod for 3870 than 7700

by the way gellmar do you want any logo
I can make a gellmar logo for you for your great work if you like

 

01 95? not 11 95? The FireGL V7700 DevID is 0x9511! And this is the only FireGL built on RV6XX family (not including FireStreams but they do not support OGL acceleration AFAIK)

Great! I had some ideas on it but I am not an artist to do the artwork (although I am an engineer) Anyway thanks!!!:eyes:

 

why 01 95 worked then

2 users claim 9501 also

if you have a text in 3d or even 2d I may create a good one

 

Any news on the mods?

btw:
The original ID for the 3870 is 9501.
The original ID for the FireGL 7700 is 9511.

This thread has instructions on where to use them.

 

Yes, there are some

I have created the Win7/WinVista 32/64 mod! However, the problem with x64 remains Now I am digging around the ATI OpenGL Render to find out what's wrong there (and I assume the prot is there!).

Also I want to claim that no scripts will be available for Windows 7 and Vista anymore! Instead, I will redistribute the ATIFuse signed driver which will do all the job. So, no scripts, playing with RivaTuner and INF files - just point and click, reboot and enjoy! If this idea is successful, I will redistribute newer mods for XP too in this new format.

Wow. Nice idea Gellmar with the ATIFuse. I think that most of us dont want to mess tooo much around with the scripts anyway.

GOOD luck with the x64. Sooo many are waiting so patiently for ur magic hands to do some magic. :3eyes:

 

My mod with 9501 has some issues, so do you claim if I use 9511 they will be fixed

 

You have to change the device ID in the driver according to the ID of your Card.. I think the only purpose is that the driver is recognised as compatible during driver installation..

@GellmaR

Great effort, can you post Windows 7 X64 drivers, I'd like to test 32Bit CATIA under 7.. If not no problem, don't want to interrupt your work

 

Some news guys!

I am afraid to say, but... look at these charts:



This is the latest mod for Windows 7 x64 (native!)

However, the driver will not load if the signature is broken (damn three times the driver signing!), so this was done from a kernel debugger. That's why I need to complete the ATIFuse driver not to violate that signature. I will release beta version soon for Windows XP x32 & x64 / Vista x32/x64 & Seven x32 / x64.

Keep up!

Damn wish I could help, so many drivers and only one person working on it.. I think the screen shows 32Bit performance? Are the scores good for your system? Don't know exactly if this is good or bad news ^^

Anyway great effort, take your time man =)

 

@gellmar

wow,these are FANTASTIC results for your Athlon64+Radeon3850 system in Windows 7 64 bit! Seems OGL is really optimized in this OS.

When i compare D3D-Performance in AutoCAD and 3ds MAX, performance on Windows 7 64bit is about 2-3 times slower than on Windows XP 64bit. With the bmark4 benchmark it's possible to test this very good. I did it with an unmodded card. So now i'm really curious how good a FireGL/SoftFireGL will do in Windows 7 compared to Windows XP.

So i'm waiting excitedly for your AtiFuse! :cheers:

 

gellmar can you test maya on that modded HD3850 under win7 with the bike scene & TextBench please?

:cheers:

 

my card id is 9501
yet firegl card id is 9511

and gellmar says 9511 is true, do you say 9501 is true

someone should clear this out

 

casebuyer,

You have to put 9501 in INF file, while in driver you should use 9511.

BTW, the drivers 8.632 for Windows 7 x32 / x64 and 8.62 for XP x32/ x64 are out! I am just downloading them to see the difference!

Windows 7 WHQL Drivers 8.632 x64, ATIFuse 0.001 alpha 1 (x32 specviewperf):


Windows 7 WHQL Drivers 8.632 x64, ATIFuse 0.001 alpha 1 (x64 specviewperf):


Don't know actually why there is so big difference between wow64 and native x64 performance, but will reveal it tomorrow.

I have some issues, after my previous mod it worked yet after a while the driver become corrupted, appearing dots everywhere

it was

Dst2_2 = 0F B7 85 FE FE FF FF 66 25 00 00 66 0D 11 95 66 89 85 FE FE FF FF EB 04

with no .inf change


I reread all necessary steps, tried what you said

yet it became corrupted so I even tried some experimental mods

I used your patch "for FireGL drivers version 8.603" over .sy_ which converts it to sys then makecab to back into .sy_

corrupted after restart

and

corrupted highly again

I may have some issues with my other drivers not sure, or couldn't remove old drivers
thanks for your reply

 

Man this looks like the X64 performance is very close to X32, so I guess you made it?? And what about the Windows 7 OpenGL performance in general, I heard that it is way slower than in XP.. When can we expect a first driver can't wait to try on Windows 7 :banana:

 

Gellmar,

I'm sure people would be happy to help beta test your new drivers as you already have them working well enough to post benchmarks. Thanks in advance for cracking the x64 drivers, can't wait to test them.

Also, are you testing the Win XP x64 driver? Your benchmarks seem to be Windows 7, which is cool, but from the posts here it doesn't sound like many people will be upgrading to Win7 anytime soon, for compatibility reasons.

Hope to see those up and working!

 

yeah.. totally agree with u. I am also willing to test with my machine. :banana:

 

I have a major issue

my reboot screen (even before bios) have dots everywhere on it
I cannot install any vga drivers
it gaves blue screen ati2dvag.dll error

I tried driver sweeper, nasty file remover, removing file protection switch in xp, delete manually nothing worked
can anyone help me with the issue, if I have to reinstall xp it means I have to reinstall all applications which will take time

 

If you get a messed up screen outside windows your card may be damaged.. Maybe it becomes too hot..
