Toshiba A505-S6965 - ATI 4570 driver

any tips on how to get a driver newer than the one on there website to install.
I have tried using the Ati mobility modder but it fails every time on the 10.3 and the 10.4. any help would be great thanks.

 

hmm.... why are u modding them ??? I think someone found a workaround to get 10.3 to install on the laptops with the OEM restriction .... but im a 100% sure u don't need to mobility mod them

 

i cant seem to find the work around

 

I stumbled on modded mobility drivers v10.3! I hv a 4570 myself and it seems to give good performance.. u can try it out.. Modded SKD Driver 10.3a.zip ... at uploaded.to - Free File Hosting, Free Image Hosting, Free Music Hosting, Free Video Hosting, ...

 

thanks i will need to try it out . i am running windows 7 64bit. what i ended up doing was getting the 9.1 driver and using mobility modder to install them. i then got the 10.4 drivers and dumped them into a folder and then adding the HW id for the card and then pointing the driver updater to the file and making windows take the 10.4 driver. not sure if its working but it shows it as 10.4 in the ati panel.

 

Try these they are the leaked 10.6 drivers and you dont need to mod them. Since you have the same laptop as me they should work as good as mine

thanks for the dirver link. D/Ling now. will let you know how they work for me.

 

did you get any performance gains from these Vs the 10.3a ones ???

 

on my set up

Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor P7350@ 2.0Ghz
ATI® Mobility Radeon™ HD 4570
4GB DDR2 800MHz memory

everything default on Windows 7 Prem 64bit

i get 4054 on the laptop lcd and 3613 on my ext monitor.
i find it strange that i get less on a ext monitor than on the built in display.

so the 4054 is a little better than i was getting on the old drivers i had.

BUT the Catalyst control center under information center show the Catalyst driver as 10.4 . thats kinda strange.
