ATI 9.6 video drivers


Recommended Posts

On game.amd.com I look up the drivers for Win 7 x64 & it looks like there are two drivers listed. I downloaded the 9.6 ones a& it works great, but I was just wondering what are the second ones? Also is AVIVO not supported with Win 7 yet?

The second Catalyst (8.612) package contains WHQL-certified drivers specifically for Windows 7. WHQL stands for Windows Hardware Quality Labs. Basically, if a certain software is WHQL-certified, it means that the software has been thoroughly tested and deemed compatible with Microsoft's operating systems.

Unfortunately, the Avivo Video Converter is not supported under Windows 7.

Awesome. Just installed 9.6 on my x1200 and its working great. Previously I was stuck using 9.2 since the more recent ones were not installing for some reason. Guess they really fixed those bugs.

That's what I'm using, x1200. But it's not supporting anymore, is it?

The x1** series and the x8** series cards are no longer supported by monthly updates, but they will be supported in quarter updates (every 3 months).
