ATI Catalyst 9.2 XP|Vista Driver Discussion

AMD has just released ATI Catalyst version 9.2, as always these drivers have been mirrored Guru3D.com

• Crysis DX10 gains up to 20%
• Crysis Warhead DX10 gains up to 20%

Now the new driver also enables Anisotropic Filtering for DirectX 10 applications in Windows Vista and fixes some minor issues that occured in previous versions. For the full list of fixes, please read the Catalyst 9.2 release notes.

Hah......just checked it myself and it is indeed over. Hopefully these work better in win7 than 9.1 did (all kinds of awkward problems in source-based games).

 

damn i didn´t report it fast enough on the other 9.2 thread well at least they are out
is it safe to install on top of 9.1? vista 64?

 

isnt one thread enough?

 

yeah, release notes looks poor!

 

I installed ontop of 8.11 and same thing happens to me like the past 2 driver releases. cough code 43 cough

don´t know what this tell ya´ll but i will now bench crysis as it is the only game installed right now

 

You still going on about it is kinda funny. It shows your true age.

 

Please delete the C:\ATI\*.* file on your C:\ (Drive)

Check your C:\ (drive) to see if you see a folder called C:\ATI\ if so delete it before installing Cat 9.2. Although I am sure Cat 9.2 will do that automatically it doesn't hurt to make sure it's deleted manually 1st before installing Cat 9.2. Carry on...

 

Installed over top with no issues, I still get flickering / missing textures in Source engined games after S3 sleep with CAT AI enabled though......

Its the only real problem I have with the drivers which is a shame.

 

That was odd.....I couldnt get these to install at all on Windows 7 (I know I know, Vista drivers on win7)........I had to completely uninstall the old drivers (9.1) and reboot before these would install. Hope it fixes the issues I have been having though (source games randomly locking up, forcing me to force quit them only to have my monitor order reversed.....some source games not starting properly, forcing me to ctrl+alt+delete, cancel, then maximize back into the game before I see any output, etc).

 

I lost 500 points in Vantage. WTF?

8.12 ~ P2800
9.1 ~ P3200
9.2 ~ P2700

 

mm nice going to install them now

 

installed fine here, no errors or code 43's
i removed the 8.12's before installing these ones

 

If you want to consider this an age issue (your admission of using an illegal copy of Vista and, admitting that using SP2 could have ill effects. Then changed your post ) then it would have been mature of you not to reply. Something to think about.
---------------------------------------------------
In any case, I had no problem installing Cat 9.2.

 

Same here bro, darn ATI code 43 :cussing:, It was on a fresh installation of Vista 32bit. I will retry to install one more time if i dont succed on a freshly install of vista i will definitely sell my cards and go green ASAP.

 

i never did get any errors installing cat 9.1´s or these new ones i have Vsita ultimate x64
legal though.
but i got 81fps something on HOC´s crysis bench andnow max 60 wonder why

 

uninstalled my 9.1 ran driver sweeper in safe mode, rebooted installed these rebooted again installed fine no problems on vista x64, going to test them later in l4d and other games

 

I did have an illegal copy of Vista. SP2 would have an effect on the vista loader I was using which makes the vista genuine. I could of simply update the loader to be compatible with SP2. Easy to fix but don't have to deal with that thanks to a friend.

You must have an illegal copy of Vista according to Eastcoasthandle. (sarcasm)
