Official Catalyst 3.5

[Shorty]

Headsup ATI users! A new set of Cats are out for those who didnt check the ATI site.

The change note is absolutely massive, so I won't go through it.

Get them in the usual place ;)

Apart from a massive list of gamefixes, i find this as a great improvement:

Windows 2000 no longer detects the secondary CRT display adapter as the primary display adapter

As this is the first time I have ever updated ATI drivers, do you have to remove the old ones like you do with the Nvidia Drivers, or can you install over the top?

/me sneaks into thread..

Remove old, reboot and install new drivers, reboot and install new control panels

/me sneaks back out ..

For those of you having trouble with ATI's site, we're mirroring the driver and the control panel for the faithful members of this site:

Driver (http://www.short-media.com/downloads/wxp-w2k-radeon-7-90-030605m-009437c-efg.exe)

Control Panel (http://www.short-media.com/downloads/control-panel-7-90-030605m-009437c-efg.exe)

These are the Win2K/XP versions, so if you use something else, you're on your own.. :)

The optional components, such as MMC, Remote Wonder, etc. have not changed from the previous version.

Here´s an excellent post on how to safely remove old drivers and reinstall new ones without any problems:

From release notes:

"The 3DMark2003 shader optimizations found in previous CATALYST™ releases have been removed"

Interesting...

Have to say, Installed a treat. Just been having a game of Unreal 2 and it may just be me, but things seem a little crisper and sharper than before.

Will these work on my laptop? It has the ATI Mobility Radeon

[Necropolis]

You will have to check with your Laptop manufacturer for latest drivers for your machine (according to ATI's website anyway)

[danball1976]

Yeah, I haven't seen any really new ones yet, but I do have the latest available for my Compaq Presario 2100 Laptop

[Necropolis]

Your best sticking with them for now. I know dell laptop can be fussy over drivers.
