Catalyst AGP Hotfix

Resolution:

This hotfix resolves the following issues:

• Fix for problems with DirectX and Radeon HD 3000 and HD 2000 Series AGP Graphics cards.

 

Hmmm... although i don't have a AGP card i gave them a try. GTA IV still crashes as with 9.1.... or is it the patch 1.0.2.0?

With 8.12 hotfix2 and 1.0.1.0 it was 100% stable.

 

i tried these also. L4D lost 10 frames. and laggy in certain areas. i dont have agp but i tried them for the hell of it =)

 

GTAIV not crashing with 9.1 with my rig, but it feel like it lost some frames. shame..
rolling back to 8.12..

 

shame it duznt support other AGP cards.

 

Use DNA

 

It's 9.1, I ended up going back to the 8.12 multi-core hotfix and I haven't crashed since.

 

Why the hell are you idiots trying the AGP hotfix on PCI-E cards? Of course you're losing frames.

 

Half of us haven't, maybe you should re-read half the posts before coming to the assumption that everyone is a loser.

 

Well I installed it on PCI-E card. It's very stable -works great for Windows 7 x64. The best stability I've had, in fact. No problems with most things we play, except the usual game bugs...

 

Yep it was indeed a driver problem. GTA4 does not work with 9.1 and 9.1hotfix.

I've installed 8.12hotfix2 again, performance improved and no more crashes.
