Thanks again for changes log. Muacks! LOL!
I think I should add your rep. XD

 

Erm...AMD release new Catalyst drivers every month like clockwork. Thus the ".6" which equals the sixth month, June.

 

Pretty interesting that they're still tuning for Crysis, Warhead, Company of Heroes, and World in Conflict.

 

Give them a few more years and they are gonna make crossfire better for fifa 2003!

 

Hmm agreed HT, i think that ATI still want single GPU solutions to run games like Crysis fluently, rather then the crossfire config all the time, although thats a pretty nifty boost for CF.

 

Thanks for the info.

I am still not able to see the drivers specific to ATI 4530 card, I will try out the driver of 4550 card.

 

What OS are you using, I will have a look.

 

I am using Vista 64 bit.

Thanks for any help.

 

Yeah no HD 4530 support very strange, the people that make mobility modder need to add it.

You should let the website below know , and see if the will add the 4530 to the next version of mobility modder.

They will need to know your 4530`s DEV info , see my example below.

cvvikram , I have joined the website, but i need your Hardware info see picture above, can could you cut and paste it here.

 

Sorry for the delayed reply. Here is the screenshot of the ATI 4530 Card

 

Wonder if they can get the 4870X2 in the W90 working, current version doesnt seem to work.

 

Cant the INF be modded without the tool? I thought i saw people experimenting with lines before.

 

why are ppl with nvdia cards downloading this drivers???

 

The inf can be modified but I personally am not sure what to do.

 

Well, all we would really need to do is have the driver install for the 4870x2 but recognise the crossfire config, maybe you can semi use working drivers?

 

There was a smidgen of a guide, but without a real search i cannot find it.

 

This doesn't scale properly with the mobility mod., does it?
