 ATI CATALYST Drivers v4.9 - tech
(hx) 12:23 AM CEST - Sep,10 2004
ATI has released a new ATI Catalyst drivers (release notes) bringing them up to version 4.9. The package contains: RADEON display driver 8.051, Multimedia Center 9.02, HydraVision 3.25.0006, HydraVision Basic Edition 3.25.9006, Remote Wonder 2.4 and WDM version 4.07 and Southbridge/IXP Driver. There is one release with the usual ATI control panel, and another with the new Catalyst Control Center which requires .NET Version 1.1 Framework.
Fixed in this driver:
  • XIII: Light map artifacts are no longer noticed in the game when loading a saved game under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON 9200 installed
  • Far Cry v1.2: Texture corruption is no longer seen on the ground
  • IL2 Forgotten Battles: Playing the game under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON™ X800 series installed no longer results in the display corruption and the game failing to respond when FSAA is enabled and display is set to either 1200x960 or 1600x1200
  • Indian Jones and the Emperors Tomb: Display corruption and missing polygons are no longer noticed in the game
  • PainKiller: missing textures are no longer noticed on the ground and light artifacts are noticed when moving around within the game or when moving in and out of the light.
  • Serious Sam SE: Running the game under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON X800 PRO installed no longer results in lens flares showing through solid objects within the game
  • Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic: An access violation error no longer occurs when using the function Alt-Tab to get out of the game and then using the function Alt-Tab to get back into the game
  • Tabula Rasa: Video rendering issues are no longer noticed playing the game under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON 9700 PRO installed
  • Tony Hawk 4: playing the game under Windows XP with an ATI RADEON 9100 installed no longer results in white pixels being seen around the edges of objects
  • Connecting an HDTV 7pin dongle to the video card no longer results in TV detection issues when both the TV and YPbPr (HDTV) are active
  • Playing a DVD with PowerDVD on the primary display and playing an MPEG clip with Windows Media Player on the secondary display device no longer results in flickering and corruption being seen
They also claim that Doom3 performance improves 10-15% on ATI RADEON X800 XT products when anti-aliasing is enabled, UT2004 performance improves considerably on the ATI RADEON 9500 PRO, RADEON 9700 PRO RADEON 9800 PRO and RADEON 9800 XT products. The benefit can be 25% or more in some circumstances, particularly at extreme graphics settings such as 6xAA + 16xAF.

the new CCC is a waste of space.... it's allmost as big as the Live/Audigy drivers :x

roflmao, if it's as bad as Creative software, I don't feel that bad then.. but I saw it on my wifes machine and it looks ok, just want to see it but seeing how ATI put some detection crap in for part number for CCC, i have to flash my card to a retail ati 9700 pro.

i guess its a waste of space if you cant afford 20mb on your harddrive. (thats the download size atleast)

aside from the CCC these drivers are decent. I still can't get the CCC to recognize my radeon(sapphire). i flashed the card too, to a 9700 pro without problems and still it doesn't see the card/driver. So I guess CCC is pretty buggy.

Update:
I managed to get the CCC installed. Had to use ATI uninstaller, drivercleaner, delete references from the registry in current user, delete temp files including c:\ati and it finally installed. It's a little bloated but if you turn themes down it's pretty good. Can't say I find 4.9 any better than 4.8.
