SoftFireGL on HD 4870, doesn't work ?

Hello all,
I'm tested a softmod on ATI HD 4870 on XP64.
I get the XP 64 patchscript for new 8.453.1 driver of schoko.

Here the script modified :

# mod by schoko

Here the .inf modified :

Code:

ATI FireGL V7700" = ati2mtag_R770, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9440

The problem is when i want to install the modded driver, the computer say me there haven't driver for this card. :wanker::bang:


Why ?
Anymore succes with this card ?

 

did you change the *.inf file?

 

Yes.

 

how did you try to install the driver ? If you run drivers own Setup.exe, it will not install. You have to do it through System Properties -> Device Manager -> Display Drivers and then right click, choose update and then manually point to drivers XP_INF folder.

 

I installed the driver manually, but it didn't work.

Anyone sucess with this card ?

 

Code:

ATI FireGL V7700" = ati2mtag_R770, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9440

Not sure if this will do anything but my INF is slightly different

ATI FireGL V7700" = ati2mtag_RV630GL, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9501

You can try it with 9440 instead of 9501.. not sure if the R770/RV630GL will solve anything.

 

8.453.1 driver did not have any section for R770

With 3850 I use R630GL, it still is the newest addition to the driver.

 

Don't work :wanker:
It is working with you ?

4850 resets computer with 8.453.1 and 8.8453.1.3

I will try a modded beta driver just out of curiosity.

 

4850 and 8.523 beta on XP32 bit : success for ugnx-01 test.

I borrowed a 4850 for 5 hours and modded. This time it did not reboot and when I rstarted it run correctly.

It showed increase for only ugnx-01, just as it did on 3850. However, on 3850 the composite was 66 something.

The CPU is E7200 ( 2,53 GHz) , 2 GB 667 MHz RAM, 4850 512MB DDR3.
Here is the result:

Viewperf ugnx-01 Report
Viewperf 10.0

1 9.00 136.00
2 9.00 69.30

9 9.00 78.00
10 9.00 15.20
11 10.00 78.00
Weighted Geometric Mean = 46.33

This ugnx-01 performance is on par with 3850 and 8.44 driver.

I looked quickly, and the other tests look a if they are running without OpenGL accelaration.

I will run the whole Specviewperf 10, and let you know of the result in 2 hours.

a ) Radeon HD 4850 with regular drivers seems to be on par or better than softmodded 8800 GTX.

b ) Radeon HD 4850 shows a little bit better reaction to R630GL mod than R600GL mod due to better 3DSMax score.

OK, this is all I can do.

Until someone can find the ultimate fix for 4850/4870, I am done for now.

 

HD 48xx are R700, so i think we must wait for a FireGL driver with R700 inside no ?

 

yes it does because i have a HD 3870

 

As schoko pointed out in the other thread, you don't need to wait for that, the only thing that's critical in the mod is the hardware ID, that's why in the other thread about HD 3870, ppl are changing it to FireStream 9170, FireGL 8600, 8650 or even 7700. Unless you have a software that is model specific in order to enable some features, otherwise, whatever the name is isn't that such a big deal.

 

Since I don't have a 4xxx series to test with, I can only give comments to results ppl make here. So don't shoot me for being a moron giving out criticism and not helping out at all. I don't have the extra cash to spend on a 4xxx series card. Sorry.

I am sorry to say but seems like your softmod didn't work at all.

GEFORCE 8 series can't be fully softmodded into quadro, only in D3D mode only, there's a hardware lock on it for OpenGL.

 

I have tested with R630gl V7700.
When the computer is finishing the installation, the computer reboot.
So it doesn't work.

I don't knows what i can do.

 

schoko was wrong about the R7XX series on this one. If you look at the 8.7 or 8.8 catalyst radeon drivers you'll see that HD4850 and the HD4870 are using "R7X" drivers configurations which are not in the current FireGL drivers. The HD38x0 works because they have the same architectures as the HD2x00 series. So you can either use the R600 or the RV630GL config for the HD38x0.

you can call the cards whatever you want in the INF file you can even call it BoogahGL V8800 and your 3870 would still work. But wihtout the R7X config it won't work for the 4xx0 series. So we will need to wait for the Firepro (4xx0) cards to come out for the new drivers and a patchscript for that driver.

 

I think that for modding HD4870...

* schoko is right that we don't need a fireGL based on the card to exist
* boogah is right that we need the fireGL driver to support the 4870 hardware, which will likely not happen until those new FirePro cards are supported

 

* boogah is right that we need the fireGL driver to support the 4870 hardware, which will likely not happen until those new FirePro cards are supported
