_I am Reptar Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Just released ATI is one of the first graphic providers to make a 64-bit driver that supports the Longhorn Driver Display Model (LDDM) ? the Microsoft Vista revolutionary graphic driver standard ? as well as the first to provide LDDM drivers for integrated graphics processors. By making LDDM drivers available more than a full year prior to Windows Vista release, ATI provides developers with a stable, feature-enabled and performance-optimized platform for application development. ATI is also the first to provide Catalyst Windows Vista driver feedback via our Catalyst? Crew Feedback program.

frostedfrank Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 for some stuff is fast but moving windows and stuff and it lags a bit 9800pro here with the drivers installed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtreme $niper Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Weird. I just installed Vista on my computer with X300 and without any drivers, all my fancy eye candy was enabled. edit: I just want to point out that with all the glass effects and everything on (without even installing the drivers) Vista IS running faster than XP. And I do believe this has nothing to do with the fact that nothing is installed on Vista, because I've dealt with fresh installs of XP recently and this just feels faster.
