Title: Catalyst 4.3...
Post by: Ike 2K# on April 26, 2004, 10:43:04 AM
The WORST VIDEO CARD DRIVER EVER!!! The Catalyst 4.3 caused my Radeon 7500PCI to perform like a standard VGA.

Btw, does anyone know whcih previous version of  the Catalyst drivers is optimised for Radeon 7500?

:)

Pc specs:

celeron 700 mhz
384 megs ram
direct X9
Windows XP Professional

4.4's work decent for me, though 4.3's did as well, but thats on a more current card...   9800



Try going back to something like 3.7 or even earlier..

For my old ATi 7000 64mb card I used the 3.4 CAT drivers without fail. OpenGL, DirectX; it ran 'em all without any snags. I'd definitely condiser upgrading cards though. A Radeon 9200 can be had for around $100.

Agree Ike 2K#

9600XT pushed by a 1.8 GHz Intel and 512 RDRAM

Yuk!  4.3's were lame and 4.4's only a bit better and I use Omegas versions!

Ahhh well there's always the 4.5's when they get here.
