Hello:

I have a computer with a radeon X1300 and since Windows 7 i used the 10.2 Catalyst legacy drivers for Windows Vista. They aren?t great but worked for Windows 8 also. When you execute the package they expand in the c: root ati\support\10-02_Legacy_vista?. They may not run because of the Windows version but you can go to the Device Manager and update the driver from there (browse).

I hope this helps..

I'm using Windows 8 CP on a Dell Inspiron 6400 with an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300. I installed ATI Catalyst 7.5 after modding the drivers with Mobility Modder.

ATI Catalyst 7.5 for Windows Vista 32-bit

ATI Catalyst 7.5 for Windows Vista 64-bit

I hope this works for you.

Edit: Looks like I'm wrong. For the mobility version I couldn't get any version higher than 7.5 to work.

I?m having the same situation with ATI Mobility Radeon X1400 in Windows 8 X64 .... Did yoy solve this problem in Windows 8 X64??? or only in 32 Bits?

Carlos.

Yes, I solved this problem the other day with an ATI Mobility Radeon X1300 and Windows 8 x64.

Here is how to do it:

1. Download ATI Catalyst 9.3 and extract the installation files.

2. Modify the drivers using Mobility Modder (the tool doesn't seem to work on Windows 8, but it works on Windows 7).

3. Disable driver signature enforcement and install the driver '9_3_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH6A_INF\CH_76829.inf' in Device Manager, i.e. Update Driver Software... > Browse my computer for driver software > Let me pick from a group of device drivers on my computer > Have Disk.

Happy to report my experience based on your suggestions:

System: Win 8 32-bit, Inspiron E1505, with Radeon Mobility X1300

At first, I could not run Mobility Modder on Win8, so moved over to a Win7 machine. Modded the Catalyst 7.5 Drivers from the package "7-5_vista32_dd_ccc_enu_46757". After that just went to Device Manager, Display Adaptor -> Upgrade Drivers -> Browse -> Let Me Pick -> Have Disk and selected the .INF file. It instantly recognized Mobility x1300 and ONLY this driver (not an entire list of irrelevant drivers). Installation required disabling UAC and allowing unsigned drivers.

Bumped me up to 1680 x 1050 Resolution. Whew, looks much better. Thanks for all the tips!

Hi Hart Nadav Feuer,

I also have a ATI Radeon X1300pro (silent)

Could you are anyone else place a link with the modded Catalyst 7.5 drivers from the package? I don't have a win7 machine, just win8. Also, I'm not a pro, like you guys.

I bought a new dvb-t card, because I thougt my old one was broken...But now I realise....It's due to win8

Many thanks for your work. Very much appreciated!

I modified the driver of an installer with the characteristics of X1300-1500.

You can find it here: http://www.alaricvs.it/ATI_Radeon_X1300-1500.zip

First, though, you have to uninstall all existing display drivers.

Tell me if it works

I cannot get any ATI Radeon X1300 drivers / Catalyst Control Centre versions to work with Windows 8 CP x64...any help you guys can offer to get it sorted? I'm using a Dell Dimension 9200 from 2007.

Thanks in advance :-)

I solve this driver problem after 3h. Here is the solution for instaling Ati Radeon x1300 driver for Windows 8 32:

1. Download catalyst_8-31-100_vista32_rtm

2. Set for downloaded file(catalyst_8-31-100_vista32_rtm) the compatibility mode for Vista(simple, not Service pack 1 or 2)

3. Instal and enjoy!

    • Ok...? As mentioned, I guess if it doesn't distract them from more important things then fair enough. I'm just not sure who asked for this, or why they think it's a fun idea. Will other manufacturers start making trading cards for motherboards, RAM, SSDs and the like so that people will start collecting in order to have their ideal rig in card form since they can't physically get it?
    • Hello everyone, Currently finishing up and polishing the game, will hopefully post some more footage here and share EXCLUSIVE little tips from the developer on these forums. Look forward to more news later this week.
    • If you can't afford an NVIDIA GPU, try getting one of its new trading cards by Ivan Jenic Image: NVIDIA The hardware market is going wild; users are furious because they can’t afford components, and NVIDIA is releasing… trading cards. The company just announced GeForce Trading Cards Series 1, a free collection of 14 possible card designs celebrating different eras of GeForce history. The set spans nearly three decades of GeForce hardware and culture. Given the set is labelled as "Series 1," NVIDIA probably has more cards in store for the future. Here are some of the most notable designs: NV1: The blueprint GeForce 256: The world's first GPU GeForce 3: The first GPU with Programmable Shaders GeForce 7800 GTX: Full-Throttle Graphics GeForce 10 Series: 10: Gaming Perfected Bubble, Chameleon and Medusa: Classic real-time demos The Way It's Meant To Be Played: A GeForce gaming signature GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Cyberpunk 2077 Edition: Night City goes #RTXON Checklist card: A nod to collector culture NVIDIA will hand these out for free through special events and giveaways. Which still means you can’t just go online and buy a set. One such giveaway is NVIDIA’s upcoming Summer of RTX event. You can find more info about it here. The cards will also be handed out in person, during events such as Bilibili World, QuakeCon, and gamescom. Initial reactions to the release of these cards are mixed. While the cards will certainly find their audience amongst the hardcore gamers and fans of the company, a lot of people are criticizing NVIDIA for giving them merch instead of fixing some of the underlying issues, like bug-ridden drivers and pushing AI further into its products. Make no mistake, as the world’s most valuable company, NVIDIA’s resources are nearly unlimited, so releasing these trading cards has about zero effect on the company’s ability to tackle driver issues or other problems users are complaining about. This is merely a marketing campaign. What would be ironic is if NVIDIA’s trading cards turn out to be popular and develop a market of their own. Even if the cards are handed out for free, not everyone has access to them, which introduces somewhat of an exclusivity element. So, don’t be surprised if the cards start selling online at a certain price in a few years. Imagine if the price of a single card reaches the levels of an actual GPU, just to complete the irony.
