Whew, I just installed catalyst yesterday, after finding about the new version yesterday.

So, a few days late here...

Well only about 25 hours late, not a few days... tho I'd like to get some credit for posting it in breaking news

Anybody can tell me how this driver suits for a X800 GTO???

#3 tripleXit on 20 Jun 2008 - 22:44

It should work fine, the driver supports any Radeon card from the 9500 and up.

it's not just me is it...these new drivers (as expected, i think) don't run CS 1.6 as well as their older ones do. i used to use cat 5.10's (omega drivers, tho) and now i think i'm on cat 8.5 same hardware and it just doesn't seem to run as well.

i just want to make sure that's normal before i go and try to find 5.10 again

Aye ATI's drivers have made CS 1.6 run sluggish for quite some time now :/. http://www.ngohq.com/home.php?page=Files&a...p;dwn_cat_id=14 - Archive of all the old Omega Driver releases, i've found 2.5.97a aka Catalyst 4.12, works best with my 9700pro.

mmm don't you had any backup???

I will try this driver...

People still play CounterStrike??

#7 CarlosMiguel on 01 Jul 2008 - 01:44

here in the Philippines, I can say that Counter-Strike is still the most played LAN game, as many gamers still play it.
