10.4 WHQL its alive!!!!!!!!

http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx

go go go!!!!

"Performance on 2D applications and benchmarks has now been fixed"
"Flickering corruption and flashing textures are no longer visible in "Battlefield 2: Bad
Company"
"Desktop corruption no longer observed on enabling Aero effects or updating graphics
score"

 

I tried the link and it doesn't work for me. On the up side at ati official site it is also up;

ATI Catalyst? Mobility Display Driver

Seems release date is today. Awesome! Thanks for the heads up dude Now I can refresh my windows 7 system rating and maybe stop having crashing problems in crysis..

 

Keeps downloading the 10.3

 

Link fixed .... & fingers crossed for that 2D improvement .... 25-40 fps on desktop Vs 50-60 fps in CoDMW2 ultra high settings aint that cool

 

Hm. I have had this version for a long while now - perhaps I did not have the WHQL version, but the installer says both the Control Center and the Driver are exactly the same version. I can choose to reinstall both.

*update* ah wait.. it's getting 10.3 here as well. I'll get it from http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx - the link the OP provided included a bracket as part of the URL, that's why it did not work.

hm. I don't need the upgrade, the fixes/features mentioned in the release notes do not affect me. I will stay with 10.3, as it is working without any problems for me.

Thank you for the heads-up though

 

hmm.... try clearing ur cache maybe the old page is stored in ur cache and keeps coming instead of the updated one

 

Page loads all right and shows 10.4 but the download utility keeps downloading 10.3
Probably akamai servers haven't been updated yet- should be resolved soon.

Known Issues Under All Windows Operating Systems
The following section provides a summary of open issues that may be experienced under
the Windows operating system in the latest version of Catalyst™. These include:

�� Loading time between maps in "Battlefield 2: Bad Company" may be long

�� Flashing black block corruption may be visible in "Battlefield 2: Bad Company" on
some ASICs


ffs no bad company 2 slow map loading fix. ati go freakin shame and fix it already...
why even bother to release 10.4..

 

I think it's been fixed for HD5xxx series but fix for HD4xxx didn't make it in time for WHQL. At least that's the case with desktops

 

strange it downloaded the right version here the first time I clicked on it

 

then 10.4 is not worthy for me to be installed. damn another month with slow bad company 2.. thnx ati.. really appreciated

 

I kindda found that strange that they didn't add the fix to the previous families for BFBC2 ... I don't play that game but I feel bad for u

 

They did release the fix for the 4xxx series. The 10.4a Previews are newer than these WHQL drivers. Problem for him is that they are for desktop, but if he can mod them, they would fix his BC2 problems.

 

3dmark 06 seems to be using only one card with these drivers, is it me or a common issue ?

edit: fixed

 

CIM won't Install the Display Driver or the CCC :/ On any driver except Dell drivers. Anyone know how to fix this? I've tried Formatting/CCleaner/Driver sweeper etc etc with no luck..

 

I've got the 10.6 alpha drivers installed, all this release did was update the CCC. Not that I'm complaining

 

Feedback: as for the HD 4570 this was a complete waste of precious downloaded MBs, cata. 10.3 preview can wipe the floor with this one in 3D performance and according to Performance Test 7 2D tests, WEI & fraps detecting 20-40 fps in aero this driver actually has worse 2D performance & the HD 4570 still performs worth than nvidia G210 when it comes to dealing with primitive 2D objects ..... I think the main difference between Nvidia & ATI is the fact that Nvidia always try to improve the performance & fix the problems of all the babies in their line unlike ATI who is only concerned about just one family .... I used to get the same drivers for my Go7900 & my sister's Go7300 and for those who don't know the Go7300 is quite a weak & old GPU and I actually used to notice performance gains in both GPUs .... actually with 190.73 driver the Go7300 managed to get around 20-25 fps in DAO @ 1024*768

I never was and never will be a Nvidia fan boy, but there is nothing wrong about stating the truth

 

Any advantage you see with the new CCC

I am using the 8.74 drivers also on both my desktop and laptop I knew ahead of time the 10.4 WHQL was not going to be better.

For those who need the loading time fix for BFBC2 on a 5000 series card the "10.6 alpha" has it as does the 10.4 preview drivers.

 

Downloaded the 32-bit setup executable twice using Catalyst Mobility Utility and failed to execute it. Obtained an error which has something to do with the checksum of the executable.

Is anyone facing this problem?

 

im having problems in bc2 with the preview ones....sometimes the game locks up and then if i try to alt tab then the screen starts flickering...


anyone having these same issues or know what can be the problem?

 

I intalled this new driver and cataclyst from complete scratch last night. I will test crysis with it and see whether there is any performance difference. The notes say up to 3% performance increase for 48xx cards. Hopefully the same applies to the 46xx ones too!

edit: So far pretty happy with 10.4. Graphics seem generally more snappy and tighter; less fluctuation between framerates. I wouldn't be surprised if I am get at least 3% increase in performance in Crysis.

 

I experienced the same thing. I finally gave up. I was hoping that the latest drivers would help with my ThinkPad's switchable graphics problem, but I think I'll just wait for the official Catalyst 10.5... or 10.6... or an official fix from Lenovo

 

Download the drivers from the direct link posted by Arioch on the first page...

 

The 8.74 10.6 Leak are still better for me, sticking with that one.

 

I did. When they didn't work, I tried the ATI links (just remove the akami portion of the URL). The two sources have the same download (same checksum) and both fail to install, citing "corrupt media or download".

 

try downloading from ATI official page and get the additional files like HDMI & such from the main link in the topic

 

Can't seem to get the 4850 in my machine to work with this set :'(

 

Don't use these drivers. I had one crash with these and they messed up my temp sensors so they read 50C higher than they should. Stay clear of these!!

 

hmmm....they are working fine for me?

 

doesnt work, tried modding with latest mobility mod tool but driver fails to install.
also i'll lose hdmi functionality wich i use a lot.

 

looks like 10.3 or 10.6 are best..

 

Should I get this or the leaked 10.6 for a 5870?

 

Just recently installed 10.4 drivers fired up bad company 2 and it improves the loading times.

 

You know you can download the HDMI drivers seperately as a standalone? They've been available on realtek's site for a LONG time. (Realtek produced the HDMI audio chip in the 4 series cards).

 

that it miss somewhere thnx for the info m8.

 

you should get 10.6.. its seems to make the G73 run better and cooler...
