    I'm looking for Catalyst Mobility 9.5 drivers for XP, since my manufacturer is not supported i can't pass the verification. I'm searching it for days but can't get a direct link :confused: . Can someone upload it on a sharing site?

    Thanks.

    No need just download catalyst 9.5 from the link below and use the mobility modder to make it work with notebooks.

    What GPU do you have, as the HD3200 and other integrated do not need modding to work.

    What is your noterbook make and full model number?

    Hi
    The video driver drivers thread has the direct link for the mobility catalyst driver for XP; however it appears that ATI have stopped the driver updates at 9.3. Probably because the "X1xxx" mobility cards are no longer supported by the latest catalyst driver.

    Thanks for the Mobility Modder suggestion. But what is the difference between the mobility drivers and the other non-mobility anyway? How the performance will be effected?


    Are you sure about that? They still have X1xxx series on the supported cards list.

    The drivers from ATI are for Desktop GPU`s only, and only have the device id`s for desktops, the mobility modder adds mobile GPU device id`s , so the drivers will work with notebooks, put very simply.

    mobility modder has nothing to do with perfomance.

    I am sure see here. So it comes to me as no surprise that the direct link I posted earlier for the mobility driver for XP only goes to catalyst 9.3 ;)
