ATI AGP Video Card Problems?

moogul6910 · Jan 21, 2008, 07:12 PM

If you search the ATI site carefully, you'll find a hotfix for the HD2600 Pro card. I installed it and now my directX 3D games are working perfectly!

Are you sure that it is different then the agp hotfix? and if not to much trouble do you have a link?

Thanks for posting that link! I've been trying whatever I could to make that stupid 8.1 driver work properly on my computer and I was afraid that I would need to wait for the Vista Omega drivers, but this saved my day xD. I can now play Crysis on 1280x1024 without a flickering screen and without a massive drop in frame rates. Yay!
I have a Sapphire radeon HD 2600pro AGP, by the way. So even though it is not mentioned on that list in that link, it seems to work anyway.

You're welcome and your card is part of the Radeon™ HD2000 series

so it is mentioned in that link.

The best driver is Catalyst 7.4, all others don't work that well or produce errors (3D not working, etc.)
Happy I found this thread, the first hint I get that those problems are because of drivers+AGP-card....
I didn't even try to use Catalyst 8.x.
Omega's are not QUITE the solution for me, although I love his work, but the integration of his drivers with the WDM's often results in slightly less smooth capture-results.
I got the card 1.5 years ago and at first thought I had got a bargain - realized too late, that all-in-wonder series was to be (now is) discontinued...

Formerly I sometimes got into a stew about ATIs drivers. These days I tend to resign myself to fate...

I'm currently with the new Catalyst 8.5 released today and the problem is still their. The only one that worked for me are the Catalyst 7.12. The majority of my games seems to work fine (WoW, Quake Wars, Call of Duty 2) but it crashes big time in Half-Life 2 or any HL2 engine powered games. Sucks

Hey guys, I recently made a post here regarding my issues with my AGP x1950 PRO. I went through a lot of trouble, but finally after purchasing DC.net (running it) and installing the 8.4 hotfix drivers my artifacting and choppy scrolling & fading problems went away.

The moral of the story is to run DC.net and install the hotfix drivers even if you think they won't affect you.

I think i had CCC drivers 8.5 and then i rolled back and installed 8.4.

Rosco[CoF] · Jul 18, 2008, 08:49 PM

I'm here to report the 8.6 Catalyst drivers worked perfectly with my Sapphire HD3850 AGP card. I was expecting to have to use the 8.6 hot fix, but I ran tests with OpenGL and DirectX games and everything worked great for me. Ran the D3D draw tests and everything worked also. I'm quite pleased with the 8.6 Cat's.

Rosco[CoF] · Jul 24, 2008, 05:27 PM

Okay, now I come to you all with a question.
Will using the standard ATI Catalyst drivers cause damage to my HD 3850 AGP card?
Above I mentioned that my card ran great with the Cat 8.6 drivers, at least it did for a few days. Then I tried the Unreal Tournament 3 demo on my PC, which looked nice but I still did not care for it, doesn't have the feel like the original UT, at least it is closer then UT2004 though. But, I digress, after I ran the demo for about 20 minutes I shut the game off and uninstalled it. After the uninstall I rebooted my PC, but on the reboot I lost all video, couldn't even see the BIOS post. I removed the card and put in my backup, a PCI Mx400, which worked fine and got the video back up and working. So, I pulled that and put my AGP 6800GS in and that worked. Scratching my head I wondered, so I put the HD3850 back in and no video.

Could running a high stress game like UT3 without the AGP hotfix have damaged my video card, or could it have been just a fluke with the card? I RMA it and I got another one delivered today, so I am looking forward to seeing STALKER with the high dynamic lighting enabled once again.

Edit:
Card was delivered today, and I'm still using my 6800GS instead. Still no video with the 3850. I'm starting to believe what the guy said that sold me this A8V-X, that it does not work with ATI video cards.

DeKay · Jul 27, 2008, 05:56 AM

yeeehaaa, the new 8.7 agp hotfix did the trick for my hd2600
well at least, the direct x tests pass without any artifacts, didn't try out any games though but it is a good start!!
