Pandaman · Mar 6, 2008, 04:07 AM

I've got the AGP version of the Radeon HD 3850 and I can force install the 8.3 Catalyst drivers easily enough, but I'm *dying* to try out the new features in the CCC like the aspect ratio scaling and such. I'd really like to know if there's some way I can force a detection of my card so the installation program will actually let me install CCC, or if I just have to sit tight and pray that Sapphire releases their own drivers for it soon...

If anyone knows how I can get it going (or heck, even the registry entry to add/change to try out that scaling stuff) I'd sure appreciate it.
