Windows XP Display Drivers Recommended Driver - CATALYST™ 02.1
Driver Build 6.13.10.6094
7.72-020524M-004273C
Posted June 13, 2002

This is a fully released and supported display driver for Windows XP. DirectX 8.1 and OpenGL support are included.

The Capture Driver bundle is also required in order to obtain appropriate capture support for ALL-IN-WONDER products.

jeez how hard is it to include the capture drivers too :?

LOL! Not quite the kind of opening response i wanted from the first person who has posted about these drivers. Anyway i just installed them, radeon VE dual head, enabled dual display strech desktop on my win2k machine at 1600x1280 75Hz, all seems well. Visual quality is as good as ever. Can't bench, i'm at work, i think you better reinstall you Windows.

Lux · Jun 13, 2002, 07:46 AM

As a side note - while waiting for download read Catalyst FAQ. Some good info there :-)

Nede · Jun 13, 2002, 07:46 AM

Hi there,

I'm running a Radeon 64DDR Vivo and there are no aniso settings showing in either of the D3D/OpenGL tabs...

Does anyone else have a similar problem ?

I saw in another thread that they changed the INF file... so someone will have to figure out how to get it working and re-write that how-to for us powered by guys.

I have a Radeon VE Dual head, i only see mip-map levels settings, no Aniso for me either. Must not be available for older radeons.

Nede · Jun 13, 2002, 07:55 AM

shahensha -> too bad

I tried the drivers in Jedi Knight II and it seems a bit buggy (lighting-wise) but textures seem sharper...kind of a mixed bag :/

wandernACE64 · Jun 13, 2002, 07:56 AM

no problems with new drivers in win2k. 3dmarkse went up somewhat...not that important tho....

later

Well, the jury is still out, maybe others will be more impressed with this driver set. But my gut tells they are selling us the same old stuff with a shiny new exterior.

korupt_x · Jun 13, 2002, 08:07 AM

RE EDITED...

Sorry guys.. drivers work ok..
TV out was the problem...
TV and monitor were both on Primary (???)
So I couldnt get higher than 800*600

One visible improvement is SVCD compliant capture in MMC 7.7.

sCoTcH · Jun 13, 2002, 08:11 AM

Anisotropic filtering is unsuported for 7200.

Powered by ATI users Can use these drivers without any hack to the .inf.

Taken from the FAQ about Catalyst here.

Q17: Do I have to have a "Built by ATI" graphics accelerator to use CATALYST?

A17: No. Both "Powered by ATI" and "Built by ATI" graphics accelerators can use the CATALYST software package.

10GHZ · Jun 13, 2002, 08:13 AM

should be ye... other wise ,ATI would be pretty stupid releasing the driver without this known issue fixed.. and does any one know how to change the inf file so i can install the official driver for my "powered by" card?
i mean, eveyone is talking about it and all, but how do u actually do it ? is it doable in this new driver?
but then again, is there that much of a difference between the reference driver and the offical driver?

SeGMenT · Jun 13, 2002, 08:17 AM

I just tried installing them and infsetup.exe had an illegal operation

I'm on Win98SE and have a Radeon LE.

Psit · Jun 13, 2002, 08:18 AM

ok i downloaded em , but reading all the above i admit im chickening out to install these new driverz. Waiting for more people to try them

Reaper_666 · Jun 13, 2002, 08:20 AM

Just downloading these now, my God, are ATI's servers slow or what!

Still does anyone know if Rage3D tweaker works properly with these drivers? In other words have ATI kept the same names for the registry tweaks e.g. Vsync, ansio etc. If they have changed the names of some or all of the registry entries then the tweaking utils won't work. So I guess the other question is if they are different does anyone have any idea what the new tweaks names are?

10GHZ · Jun 13, 2002, 08:22 AM

what could possibily go wrong. just install them
