Thank you!!!!!

[NienorGT]

Damn, I'm not sure if I'm happy to have come back to ATI... Always install drivers all months is worst as Windows updates... >_<

[xcopmanx]

They're constant updates to make sure the latest cards are supported and bugs are fixes as well as some minor performance improvements, etc. I'd rather have monthly updates than none at all. heh.

[Digitalx]

So you envy NVIDIA users who beg the company to release new drivers every few months? :rolleyes:

i just wish nvidia would actually release something

[digitalsoft]

hmm, not think i'll try these though a little system restore before methinks, currently using vista drivers and working so much better than the 7.2 ones.

Does this release not apply to Radeon Mobility Products?! It won't let me install because it says I'm already up to date but why then does it let me download the newest package...

Nah, just because I did an uptime of 50Days with my 7900GTO :rofl:

Anyway, I'm not complaining about the numerous updates, I'm complaining because I always reinstall them but after though about it, maybe it was useless...

Btw, I removed back to ATi because nVIDIA lost me. Notice also that I moved to nVIDIA last year because ATi drivers sucked, they got better but nVidia really sank with their new CP + Vista.... Well, any nVIDIA users understand me I think.

This tread reminds me that I need to change my sig...

[Digitalx]

i'm yet to have a problem wih 7.x drivers so i'm pretty sure just more of the good stuff :)

though i would like to figure out ViVO

Great, but the download stops at 22mb everytime I try.. *cries*

the multilanguage thingy seems to work.. yay

Not sure you made a lick of sense...

Are you using the 7.3's?

I will install them on my notebook in a few minutes and my desktop when i get home.

Thanks OP.... Download went fast

[D!rtySh@dy]

Not me.

Why ATI continue to fix bugs for Doom 3 ? :pinch: Who continue to play Doom 3 ?

I would prefer have bugfixing for TDU, Virtua Tennis 3, etc.......

An update, specially for a fresh released OS like Vista, is never useless. I'll be more than happy to update every week if it'll fix the long standing list of issues we have :(

I totally agree with you that NVIDIA drivers really suck now, so lets not ruin the joy of ATI cards owners :D

[digitalsoft]

Just installed, and caused my Vista Business 32bit to bluescreen (memory dump) on windows logon... :(, uninstalled guess its waiting for the next release :(

[thollian]

sweet, thanks!

Note to thread starter ATI/AMD has not allowed hotlinking for quite awhile so the release notes link won't work.

Finally my X1950XT card can run fullscreen applications. At last!! Now I can play games in fullscreen withouth crashing the drivers.

[rajputwarrior]

^ have you tested it yet, cause my x1950pro has the same issue in vista 32

[Caleb]

Finally some fresh drivers! I hope these won't make my system hang like the 7.2s did.

[amrinders87]

Thanks for the update. Installing now.

Yea, works nicely :)

[XerXis]

and again almost impossible to install :(
