Uninstall this driver @ try this one:

http://www.radeon2.ru/downloads/driv...2o_7.11_cp.exe

This is optimised version of catalyst 7.11 and it will give you much better performance. I just have it installed and i have any problems with it.

Hi SpectatorX!,

Are these N2O drivers truly modded versions of the officials?
I am willing to try them out as you state these have better performance over the official ones. As Tonyburns asks: how do you install this set? (Because the content of the driver pack is different from all others). Do I simply have to copy the drivers over the existing one or must I install in a special way? Let us know please! Much appreciated SpectatorX!

@1st u should uninstall existing drivers (of course if u have installed some drivers), restart computer and after restart to be sure clean up your registry with any registry cleaner (CCleaner, jv16power tools, etc.). After it u can install this driver:
1. Unpack downloaded file
2. Click right mouse key onto my computer & open its properties.
3. IN properties go to "Hardware" (or how it is in english version of windows, i'm usin polish one) and click on "Hardware manager"
4. In there u will see "Unknown vga device" or somethin like that
5. Right click onto it & select "Update driver"
6. Will open update driver window, in first screen select "No, not this time", at 2nd screen select second option, in third part select "I'll select driver to install", after it will be last one window and there u have to click "From disc" and in there u have to show for it where is driver which u unpacked.


I'm hope that u will understand that all what i typed in here :-)

hi
thanks for reply these drivers are still messed up they will play games fine with ati 1950pro agp card but whenl i try to play any type of video the screen stays black ive went back to the 7.6 they play fine

SpectatorX

So use this version and its any modification if u need/want it. It's good to you that u found best driver version for your card.

The 7.6 Drivers are actually the last official drivers that supported AGP cards without so much trouble. If these are working for you, you best keep using them for now. I doubt there will be much performance improvements for anything but the DX10 cards anyway.
