Ati Mobility Radeon 7500 vista Drivers?

[Trivium Nate]

okay so unfortunately my video card is the Ati Mobility Radeon 7500 32 mb gpu and i installed Vista onto my computer the other day and i was wondering if their are updated drivers yet because my 17 lcd is running on a1024x768 resolution and should be on 1280x1024 lol
is their any updated drivers yet?

Well I would assume check out www.ati.com. Sounds really simple to me.

[SteadVéx]

i thoguht ati was only supporting radeon 9250 and up for vista? or 9000 and up..i'm sure thats true...should really double check, but o'well!

According to the release notes on ATI's website, it looks like the drivers officially support Mobility Radeon 9600 and up. You could check Windows Update and see if there happens to be new drivers for you there.

I think AMD/ATI is going to leave Radeon 7500 users in a lurch here.

I made my own Vista drivers. Microsoft provides all the necessary resources.

I wonder how you did that I've got a Radeon Mobility 9000 and there are no decent driver for Vista aswell Okee Vista works (sort of) but even the simplest games are not working somehow... My laptop is fast enough, but Ati is not very cooperative.

Im not expecting to be able to play HL2, Q4, STALKER or any of those new games, but when even the simpler games fail that does not make me happy. And as you cannot change the GFX-card on a laptop, i've to get used to having a fast (enough) laptop, working like sh|t because of the wonderfull support of Ati.

Luckily i've got some more pc's around and they're not going to get an upgrade with a faster Ati-GFX-card i guess, tho it will not get me support for my RM9000.

Everything related to ATI mobility sucks. nVidia has seven mobility graphics cards better then anything ATI has. The fact is, ATI is a POS when it comes to mobility. http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-...TX.2121.0.html

Well, I didn't want to bring up nVidia, but since it has now:

The 7500 and 9000 are OLD OLD OLD! I dare you to find nVidia drivers for products that old on Vista. You won't. And sure, nVidia might be the performance leader right now, but it can change in a heartbeat, as we've seen before. It's always going back and forth. Getting back to the subject though, not many companies are supporting products that old on Vista. You can't blame just ATI.

[Daneel]

I'm not a nVidia-fanboy. But i would have expected that a 3 year "old" high-end mobility-gfx-card was able to run the modern OS. And since you can not swap the card, i would have expected ATI to give better support than this. So, no matter what other manufacturers do, this ATI-product (and the way ATI treats it) does not meet my expectations. Therefore i am dissapointed in ATI in this matter. To bad ... cause i've allways been more like an ATI-fanboy.

Well, the Mobility 9000 came out in late fall of 2002. I didn't intend to sound harsh earlier, but it is an old product, and support is usually left to the laptop manufacturer. And Vista does work, even if ATI doesn't have updated drivers on their website.

Why are you running VISTA at all then? I would go back to xp if everything worked fine there, or at the very least dual boot between the two, you cant run areo, there are no vista specific apps, and driver support is not ideal across the board, even for cutting edge systems, if you need to be dissapointed at something, be disappointed at your self for installing it in the first place without doing the proper research before hand. The 9000 is much older than 3 years, in fact its based off the 8500 core, just cause you bought it 3 years ago doesnt make it semi modern tech, and 3 years ago it wasnt exactly a high end part. Believe it or not I'm not trying to be mean, but honestly what do you expect? Especially right now, NV and ATI dont even have stable full performance vista drivers for their current flagship products yet, eventually I'm sure someone will make some drivers that will work better than whats available now for you, but it will be awhile, your best bet is to go back to xp for now.

Hi there, I dont suppose you would be willing to share your driver? I have a dell latitude c640 with mobility radeon 7500. Its driving me crazy trying to get a stable driver!

Thanks,
James.

Am running Windows 7 on a Compaq N800c with 64MB M7500 which is going fine with the 6.5 Cats (using the DH Mobility Modder) except that it bluescreens with an ati2dvag.dll error on shutdown or suspend. This is sort of alright because I can plan around it but of course isn't ideal. Anyone else running 7 with a 7500? edit: Now using 6.11 with the same result. another edit: Seems to be an ongoing thread happening here without much joy thus far. success: Using the Vista drivers kindly uploaded by a member at driverheaven results in clean shutdowns and lowered CPU usage for my N800c.

Ok - not to add too much to the soup....but...

I'm installing Win7 RC on a Dell Inspiron 5100 with the ATi Radeon Mobility 7500 chip and I can not, for the life of me, get the monitor to go anywhere beyon 1024x760. I've tried the selections of Drivers mentioned here, and each time I've tried to install any of them I receive a message telling me to go back to the default VGA drivers...which is what is being uses at this time.

I don't want this to end-up being an exercize in futility, but any other pointers (short of manually unpacking the DLLs and hacking-up DISPLAY.INF) would be massively appreciated.

Just confirming you tried the Vista 9000 drivers mentioned at the end of my post? I was running 1600×1200 on the M7500 in the RC.
