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

gellmar · *Last edited by gellmar; 10-03-2008 at 22:05.*

Hello to all!

Having bought a stock Sapphire HD3850 1024MB GDDR3 video card today, I tried to find out the patchscripts for that. I have found the one from YaoZ for XP32, but I needed the XP64 so I had to do some more...

Finally, I have made the patchscripts for drivers of version 8.44 and higher (including 8.523.1.1 for FirePro's) for both XP32 and XP64. Unfortunately, today I have no time to test it due to some job having to do just now. So, please check this patch script for workability on both 3xxx and 4xxx.

Here are the scripts themselves:

XP32:

Do you know the exact ID of it? It is absent in the corresponding INF file...

I have found some posted by Khogan112 and added them to a script

I love you

I think there is a problem with 38xx series; the given cards are all R600GL versions; V7700-38xx are R630GL cards. For completeness V7700 should be present.

XP32 bit, E8500 3.16 GHz, 2GB, 4870 , specviewperf 10 :

Viewset Composite Mulitsample Performance

3dsmax-04 18.52 no result
catia-02 18.39 no result
ensight-03 33.34 no result
maya-02 38.17 no result
proe-04 13.73 no result
sw-01 30.06 no result
tcvis-01 8.12 no result
ugnx-01 59.63 no result

Similar results but a few points less for XP 32 bit, Phenom 9550, 2GB, 3850 256 MB, specviewperf 10.

By the way CCC works fine; but after I checked "Enable 10 bit display" and restarted my monitor went black on Windows ; I had to start on safe mode and uninstall CCC and driver; then reinstall driver.

Thanks for the test, I added the V7700 - RV630GL (DevID 9511) into the script

Okay, let's go ahead from the basic script. I will test my video board and publish the next script.

Does this work with the HD2XXX series of cards? I tried it but Maya crashed on start up every time I tried it, had to clean all my drivers and reinstall the old 8.39whatever drivers again to get Maya to open again.

Nope, it does not work for the V7700 either. Specview performance is down by 70% in Proe-04. All enhanced workstation features are accessible though, it's just the performance that's lacking.

khogan112

by sayin it does not work for V7700 either ? Do you have access to a real FireGL V7700 ?

My 3870 has device ID 9501. Which I believe is the equivilent of the GL V7700 that has device ID 9511. Both are based on the RV670.

Though, I'm not sure if another is also.

So, it sounds like this isn't working for the 8.523 series.... or well at all.

I'm currently using Schloko's script for 8.453.1.6

Is there any reason to use this instead of Schloko's existing patch script? This patch script looks shortened, as AFAICT has no added functionality. Am I missing something?

Schoko's latest patchscript will only work for 8.453.1.3 and not any newer.

Samiam · 10-08-2008, 01:37 | posts: 144

Right, according to the posts above, gellmar's script doesn't seem to be working for the 8.5xxx series either. Anyone got it working? If anyone gets this working for 8.5xxx series, great. but....

I just tried gellmar's x64 script with 8.453.1.6 from DELL, and it crashed my system. Couldn't even boot. Had to boot in safe mode to reinstall.

So, I'm back to Schloko's x64 script for 8.453.1.6 from DELL.

The title of that clearly states its for XP64, which I don't run so it does me no good. This title how ever mentions both XP32 and XP64.

khogan112 · **Johnpv, the point is -** 10-08-2008, 15:03 | posts: 171 | Location: Turkey

that it orginated fro HD 2x00 series and then it moved to HD 3xy0 series. There are significant differences between HD 3xxx patches and HD 2xxx patches.

The current patches solely concenratedon HD 3xxxc series and hope that they work on HD 4xxx series; they have passed HD 2xxx series. Therefoe you should investigate threads like the one I have given or this one.

samiam,

the 8.5xx drivers have an additional security layer based on flags from device I am investigating right now. According to DELL's 8.453.1.6, I have not installed them so I don't have the experience with that mysterious crash. Can you post the link on them so I can download and test them?

By the way, the CCC seems not to be supported by Schoko's script, but is supported by my one, does it? Anyway, I continue reversing, and maybe tonight I will post a modified script as well.

Regards, gellmaR

I meant the 8.5xxx mod didn't work on my 3870 (9501, RV670). It delivers a stunning image, and I can play games and OpenGL as much as I want, but the performance in OpenGl is 3870-like, not V7700.
I wish I had access to a V7700 ;-) (Less trouble...)

But keep up the good work, I'd love to test the 8.5xx drivers some more.

Gellmar -

DELL 8_453_1_6 drivers.

btw, Schloko's patch works with CCC as far as I can tell. Of course the drivers and Maya have their own problems, such as overlay corruption in 10bit mode. So if anything can be made to work better, I'm all for it!

This just occured to me: when using your x64 script, I inserted my HW ID (670 = 9501 = 01 95) string in the appropriate place as per Schloko's script.

HOWEVER,

Now, Looking at your script, you seem to be forcing the drivers to see the desired chipset of the FireGL card. Such as forcing detection of a 9511. Which is a different strategy from Schloko, who forces the drivers to see the Radeon ID as an OpenGL card....

Also, does the .inf need to be edited to replace the FireGL ID with Radeon ID, as per Schloko's patch? (i.e. 9511 to 9501)

If you can hack the 8.5xx drivers, awesome. Will continue following this thread and beta-test. Will also try this patch script again with DELL's .6 drivers.

Samiam · 10-09-2008, 04:30 | posts: 144

Update, just tested Gellmar's x64 script again with DELL 8.453.1.6 drivers on my 3870, and it passed SpecMaya accelerated like a v7700. (scored ~250) My earlier mistake was inserting my device ID as per Schloko's script.

The correct way to use Gellmar's script is *AS IS.* Do not edit it at all. Do not edit the .inf either.

UPDATE: some wile ago I reverted to using Schloko's patch script, which for whatever reason (could be luck) I've had less stability issues with.

I'm currently using Schloko's script for 8.453.1.6

Hope somebody can crack x64 drivers above that, someday!!!
