Has anyone noticed that the ATI Catalyst Software Suite 8.8 download is actually just the ATI Control Center and not including the Display driver? Instead of Option 1 in the ATI website download, I chose Option 2 (which is download both files separately, the display driver and the control center). Choosing Option 1 is only downloading the control center. Maybe just a file upload mistake by ATI. |

I installed 8.8 a few days ago using option 1 (CCC + drivers) and it's fine. |

Does it show Catalyst version 8.8 on your software information? |

Your 2D Driver, Direct3D driver, and Driver Packaging Version are not the same as mine. Your Driver Packaging Version is 8.522-080731a-067975C-ATI - mine is 8.522-080731a-067980C-ATI Your 2D Driver Version is 6.14.10.6844 - mine is 7.01.01.809 Your Direct3D Version is 6.14.10.0603 - mine is 7.14.10.0603 [/img] |

I just realized you're using Vista; that might explain why the builds are different. I'll update my old machine to check the versions. I assume you've gotten the 8.8 drivers installed then? |

Probably that may explain the difference then. It took me a long time to finally get the drivers to run properly; a lot of install/uninstall. Here's what I did: 1. I did not uninstall the previous driver(8.7) 2. I installed the catalyst 8.8 driver suite(right directly on top of 8.7) 3. I installed the separate display driver installer(in addition to the suite) For some reason, it only works when I do this in the exact order; otherwise, driver error pop up boxes appear. I've tried all possible ways but that's the only procedure that worked for me. |

Updated my old box; same versions for XP. That's really strange, it doesn't work with new drivers then new CCC? |

Heads up if you did a bios mod like me the 8.8's will give you a black screen and you will be stuck until you flash the bios back (and you cant do that every easy with a black screen of doom....) This happens if you overclocked the card past the normal limits (700mhz core 1200mem on the 4850's) looks like a cheap trick to make people downclock there cards and have to upgrade to a better one.... Im sticking with the 8.7's for now as the 8.8 had nothing major in it for me anyways. I will downclock the cards and update to a new cat driver when they fix X-Fire for Crysis... |
