Little typo on their Vista x64 download page it says the file size is 1.5MB. It's 51.5MB :)

You can't hotlink to AMD/ATI release notes. :p Sorry for the weird formatting on the bullets, but it's too much to edit.

Cool. Maybe now we can see new benchmarks for the 3800 series.

FYI, if you play Crysis, they say to NOT use this driver!!

Crysis players should continue using the Crysis hotfix driver.

[edgarf28]

EDIT: haha, i'm 2 late :p

[Prince Charming]

f***!

Just installed 7.11

*cries*

[-Hiroshi-]

Have they resolved the issue where if you use an AGP Radeon card, it'll cripple your OS?

[rajputwarrior]

^ www.omegadrivers.net, use those ones, he has that issue fixed for 7.10, his drivers are a lot better then ATI's.

[biko]

Strange, I don't have the hotfix and i don't experience any graphic corruption.

Vista 32bit with a ATI x1900 512MB radeon

[Prince Charming]

Yeah, thinking about it, I had no graphical corruption in Crysis on the normal 7.10s

I'll try the 7.11s and see how it goes :)

i have an old agp ati 9600 and never had a cripple os problem

[Amano]

I'm waiting too!

Whats this problem?

I have an X800XL AGP and Cat 7.8, 7.9, and 7.10 all screwup DirectX. It doesnt work with those drivers.

I can't wait to see if 7.11 has fixed this problem. I am going to be ****ED if it doesn't. This will be my last ATI card.

[D!rtySh@dy]

AGP is a old slot.

[rajputwarrior]

AGP is a old slot.

so... they still sell agp cards and is the most used...

[Bhav]

Never had any driver problems with my AGP Radeon 9800 Pro...

[dimz]

Nope, it still cannot find DirectX.

The problem mostly affects X1600s and X1950s that are used with an AGP bridge.

[shiny_red_cobra]

It also affects the Radeon 9600XT (what I have). Use catalyst 7.7, it's the only one which works for me.

Yup, no DirectX again with Cat 7.11. I went and got Omegas Cat 7.10 and its working fine for me now. DirectX is working.

Can't believe ATI would keep these crappy releases going. Truly pathetic.

[and1direct]

Is it me or do these drivers when installed turn on the brightness by alot?

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

Thanks for the update. I installed the drivers without a hitch. :)

[ViperAFK]

AGP is a old slot.

Your vast knowledge amazes us all.
