I just wanna ask about best drivers for games playing My computer is HP pavilion ze4500 and radeon igp 340m ... I want to know best drivers for games because i cant find them ... I have lags in games like lineage 2 or counter strike plz help me Randomness..

Sigmoid

I'd say the best driver for gaming is the modded 6.4 that you'll find if you read back a bit.
Though when you encounter lags in games, bear in mind that the igp 3x0m GPUs are far from being powerful 3d accelerators. Low performance by today's standards is not necessarily the driver's fault.

mar@sco:

The newest drivers from HP for your notebook are based on Catalyst 4.4, and can be downloaded here.

If your looking for something newer, you'll need to be more specific about what you want from the driver. i.e., Do you want faster gaming? Or be able to watch movies?

Hello sigmoid:

Unfortunately i haven't figured out a way to disable overlay centrally. its is a central component in the driver's "Universal Video Acceleration" library, and can't be easily bypassed from the driver level. In theory you could try attacking the problem at the CODEC level, but not many CODECs give you the option to pick between VMR and overlays.

As i mentioned several times earlier in this thread, anything newer than version 6.5 of the Catalyst driver will usually crash the GPU, and you well only get very basic GDI/VGA functionality.

I like vista in regards to this issue because using the modded driver with vista corrects the problem altogether, and overlays work with the driver like they should.

However, with an nx9005, to run vista i would recommend trying to install slightly over 1 GB of ram, such as putting a 1 GB SODIMM in with a 256MB SODIMM.

Secondly, you will need to be careful with the sound driver. Vista doesn't like the newest one's from HP, and you'll have to manually install the ALi/ULi WDM Audio driver, and even in some cases that doesn't always work, so you'll have to play with other ALi/ULI or Conexant Audio Drivers. You can get ULi driver package from nVidia here

You other option would be to opt for a linux distrobution. This chipset when properly configured works great with the built in DRI Radeon drivers that come with most new distros. I have had the mos tluck using fedora 8.

Best of luck, take care

Hey Randomness,

Thanks for your reply.
It seems this GPU doesn't give up easily. I remember that you wrote something about playing around with the memory control libs of different driver versions. I wonder if you - or someone else - did some research on that since. (I wonder if the 4.xx memory control dlls has the same interface as the 6.xx ones...)

I gave up on installing Vista, as I'd rather not exchange a small problem (no decent DVD playback) with a big one (no decent sound support and major slowdown). Besides, I really don't want to spend any more money on this bastard of a notebook... XD
As for Linux, it doesn't sound bad, but being a dotnet developer I kind of need Windows... :P I guess I'd go with it otherwise.

Thanks again, and do keep us updated on any new discoveries.

First of all I would like to thank everybody for this thread, especially Randomness.

I currently own a four-year-old Compaq Presario 2199US with the dreaded Radeon IGP 320M. I have been trying to view AVI files that are encoded with H.264 video encoder. I haven't had much luck playing it. At one point my computer could play it flawlessly, but then my hard drive died on me and I had to repartition the drive and reinstall XP. At first the video was lagging behind the audio, so i downloaded ffdshow thinking it would be able to decode the H.264 AVI files better than the one embedded within Media Player Classic. While this made things better, there was still a problem with the video. The vido was no longer lagging behind audio, but it would skip. It would freeze momentarily and then skip to rejoin the audio. I then decided that it was time I upgraded the driver. After two days of looking around, I found this thread and used the information to install Catalyst 4.10 using the Mobility Mod. Now when I tried to play the video after this, I was happy to see everything running smoothly...until about a minute later when the video started skipping again. It also started to do this thing where if the screen froze for more than like ten seconds, if something in the frame is moving, you'll see an outline of that object or character moving with the skin of the frozen frame. I've tried VLC and Media Player Classic. I've tried adjusting the priorities in the Task Manager to give the players a little extra juice. It's not even like my computer is pushing itself to play this video. Each of these players take up maybe 20% of the CPU (and that's overestimating). I've only seen the players themselves go up to like 10% of CPU power. This laptop has 448 MB of RAM (don't ask me how, that's what My Computer says) with a mobile AMD Athlon XP2800+ 1.65 GHz processor. Radeon IGP 320M currently with the driver version 6.14.10.6483 (the Catalyst 4.10 driver Mobility Mod). Any suggestions? Should i try a later driver? I read in this thread that any later driver would make the chip unstable.

Randomness

Hello Goku0171:

Try installing a modded catalyst based on version 4.4 to 4.9. The newest compatible drivers from HP are based on version 4.4 and should support H.264 when the proper system codecs are present.

Make sure you completely remove the old driver before installing a new one. After using the uninstaller, boot into safe-mode and delete all ati*.* files in your c:\windows\system32 and c:\windows\system32\drivers directories. Also erase the all "ATI Technologies" and "ATI Technologies Inc." entries in your registry under HKEY_Current_User\Software and HKEYLocal_Machine\software

Install a GART driver first, you can get one from HP here.

Then try installing HP's newest 4.4 driver, you can get it here.

If that doesn't fix the problem, download a modded Catalyst 4.9 driver, and "update" from 4.4 manually using device manager.

Also make sure you have an AGP Bus driver installed,(aka ATi GART driver) otherwise AGP acceleration won't work properly.

You can verify that the GART is working and enabled by checking the status of "AGP Texture Acceleration" in the "Display" tab of DirectX Diagnostic (run the program "dxdiag" from start--> run command). If it is working, it should read "Enabled".

If all the DirectX features are enabled, and proper codecs are installed. I would suggest installing the standard version of K-Lite and then the newest version of DivX to help add the necessary system codecs. I've also heard Apple's QuickTime comes with said codecs, although using it is strickly user preference.

Best of luck, take care

EDIT: Are you using the latest BIOS for your notebook? The latest is KA.M1.60
You can get a windows based updater from HP here. This graphics chip is slightly more agreeable with a newer BIOS.

Goku0171

Wow, many thanks. I'll try it out and post how it goes when I get time to try it.

~Edit~
I followed your directions to the letter, but the video now lags again instead of skipping. I found that the driver you provided me the link to is actually the same driver that came packed with my computer. Should I try the modded 4.9?

And for some reason My computer said that this laptop had a 1.65 GHz processor last night, but now it is saying that it is a 2.12 GHz processor. Could somebody give me an explanation on that and why I have an odd number of RAM? (448 MB is quite an odd number..or at least I think it is)

~Edit~
Success! I went on an mIRC channel for advice, and somebody told me to uninstall all my codecs and just use CCCP. I was skeptical because I had used CCCP before and it did not work on my computer before, but I figured I should give it a shot. I was amazed that it worked. Seems like I wasted everybody's time. I'm really sorry. It seems like it was mainly a codec problem, but at least I learned a lot from this thread about cleaning out my drivers. I'm sure that if i had not read this thread, I would still be having problems due to the fact that i had tried like four different drivers without cleaning out the folder at all. I also got that BIOS upgrade, which is always a plus. Thanks for everything Randomness!

First off, quickly reading through some of this thread, I'm amazed at Random's dedication to the community in trying to help out all of us who have problems with these chips. Keep up the good work

Ok, so I've got an HP Pavilion ze5385us, with a 2.66GHz P4, 1 gig of DDR, WinXP Home, and the 345M chip in it. I have fortunately not seemed to have any problems with video or DVD playback as of yet, rather, I simply want to get the most out of this card. I try and play CS:S on it, and with all the settings on lowest, DX level 7 or 8, and a custom fps config, it still drops below 15 fps in a firefight, and ~30 tops with no one around. I consider this barely playable, enough so that I can have fun with friends if all I've got is my lappy, but not enough to play with any consistant accuracy. I've been somewhat frustrated with it, as I have a desktop which is inferior in every way save that it has a (pretty poor) dedicated graphics card, and it gets around 50 fps on average. I suspected that my lappy's poor performance was because of the lack of dedicated video ram, and thought I would have to concede that it just simply isn't very good for gaming.

Recently, however, I stumbled upon this thread, and while I consider myself very computer savvy, having built a few, set up servers, etc., but the driver stuff for this card is deep! I went into dxdiag and discovered that AGP texture acceleration is not available, and that Device Manager does indeed show a Standard PCI-PCI Bridge. I realized that the card might not even be functioning to its full capacity if not all of the drivers are installed. So I followed your above post, removing the old drivers, installing the GART driver, then the latest HP driver for the chip. But... nothing seems different. Texture accel. is still unavailable, and the Device Manager still shows the PCI-PCI Bridge. So my question is, what did I do wrong, and what do I need to install to get everything supported and working? I would really appreciate your help on this, thanks!

Oh btw, my shared video ram was set to 128, I brought it down to 64mb for now.

EDIT: Looking on HP's page for the ze5385, I found an AGP driver which I should have seen before, however running it made no difference, as with the previous one you supplied. However, I discovered that for some reason that installer only extracted the files, so I manually ran the atigart.exe (or something like that) from the swsetup folder, and that did it! AGP Texture acceleration is now enabled, and it's running on the agp bus. Unfortunately, it didn't really seem to make much of a difference in CSS, but what can I expect from a 5 year old integrated chip? I'll set the vid memory back up to 128 though and see what that does.

I have to thank you immensely for this thread though, because as someone who has never worked with AGP before, I never knew that you needed a driver for the mobo to support it, and while it didn't make too much of a difference on the laptop, I realized I needed an agp driver for my secondary desktop too, and it went from around 8 fps in CS 1.6, to over 70 It's pretty decieving if you don't know about that, because video card drivers install fine, and you'd think everything is peachy. Well anyways, thanks for the thread, and I'll check back periodically to see if anyone makes any amazing breakthroughs.

But with this modded catalyst and video driver i still have lags but just when is much people playing counter strike... when i look to that people in one place its fps = 7 but normal fps 30 and more with no lags ... i tryied much drivers but i still got problems..

what is the newest bios for my pc HP Pavilion ze4513EA Notebook PC??? i look in hp.com but not good bios here

Randomness

Hello:

It depends on whether your notebook is AMD processor based, using Radeon IGP 320M or Intel Based processor using Intel IGP 34xM

For Intel, newest is KE.M1.73, which you can get here.
For AMD, newest is KA.M1.60, which you can get here.

Note: you flash you bios at you own risk.

why did you say that "no good bios" was at HP? They are the only ones that can provide a compatible BIOS for your notebook.

Best of luck, take care

Goku0171:

The Radeon IGP uses UMA and gets its memory from the installed RAM. You can change this allocation in the UMA setting in your BIOS.
Right now you have 512MB of RAM installed, and UMA set to 64MB, meaning windows has access to 448MB of memory and 64MB is allocated to graphics.

According to the Presario 2199US specifications, your AMD processor is 2133MHz. Keep in mind it throttles its clock to keep itself cool and last longer on battery power, so some diagnostics will not see the maximum clock speed.

Glad to here your codec probelm was rectified.

Take care.

Randomness

CapnCrunch53:
You need to manually install the GART driver through device manager. Instructions for this are included with the Modded 6.4 driver package posted earlier in this thread.

To be honest, i could never get source engine games to run very well on these chipsets. Mind you, the engine does adapt to these chipsets, so it will run. However the draw distances and other fancy settings all need to be at their lowest.

There is also asincere problem with meory bandwidth.

Both the GPU and CPU share a single 64-bit DDR memory bus. A dedicated graphics card would have its own memory and own memory bus. and in most cases, the PCU has dual-channel ddr or better, giving it a 128-bit wide bus. Moreover, most newer geaphics cards have dedicated meory buses much larger than 64-bits. (closer to 128-bit to 512-bit in the latest).

Bets of luck, take care

Hello,

I am new to this forum. I tried clicking on the links but no connection to file. I am still learning and trying to fix my friends computer. Compaq Presario 2190US. Windows installs the Radeon 340M Driver. It plays certain games fine and even goes to full screen mode. However, My friend and co worker is headed to Iraq next Wed. He installed the Game Gensis. It will not play because it states that the vga driver is not found. It states that it needs catalyst 6.9 or higher. When I go to ATI and down load the newest version and try to install it, it says that the vga driver is not found and aborts installing.

What do I need to send to you to request help? I thought that what you wrote might help, but could not get to it.


Please help!! Joseph

Hello josiechapman:

I am going to need more information regarding the game and the notebook to better assit you.

1) How much RAM is installed in the notebook

Click "Start" --> "Run" --> etner in dxdiag, and click OK. Under the "Display" Tab

2) What "Main Driver" and "Version" are listed.
3) What is the status(enabled/disabled) of the three "DirectX Features" (eg, DirectDraw, Direct3D and AGP texture acceleration)

4) What is the exact title of the game you are referring too? could you point me to a website regarding it?

Please keep in mind the Raeon IGP 340M is incompatible with Catalyst 6.6 and above. Forcing a modded version of these driver version usually causes system crashes.

best of luck, take care,

- Randomness

EDIT: If you are refering to Genesis Rising, the game requires Shader 2.0 support, which is only provided by GPUs that are based on the radeon 9550 or newer. The Radeon IGP 340M is based on a Radeon 7500 GPU. It would not be easy to get this game running without shader 2.0 support, and even if you did manage to get it running, it wouldn't have very playable frame rates.

Hi, could anyone offer any advise for the following problem concerning Radeon 320M?

Basically, I have an old Presario 2100 and reinstalled windows recently. I still played old games such as Warcraft III on it, but have found the gameplay to be almost unplayable since the reinstallation (It may have been slightly choppy previously but was still easily playable). Sometimes the framerate drops so low it is hard to even move the mouse to quit the game.

After reading almost the entireity of this topic, I downloaded Catalyst 5.13 (I was previously working with 4.4), and found the framerate had increased somewhat, although still only just playable. However, playing movies/videos seemed to pretty much almost crash the system, as had been mentioned by others. Considering I would rather have the option of watching films, I uninstalled catalyst 5.13 via Control Panel, and reinstalled 4.4. Problems now are that DivX no longer operates, due to an error message concerning the display driver. The error message is as follows:

"DivX Player: Display Driver Error. Failed to create a display device. Playback of this media may require a feature not supported by the display hardware."

VLC Media Player works fine, so I wasn't too fussed. However, after reverting back to 4.4 Warcraft III no longer even opens, giving an error message suggesting DirectX may not be up to date (which it is), or to get a newer version of my display driver.

I don't have DriverCleaner, so would you recommend removing all ATI files from system32 before downloading catalyst 4.4, or a more ideal catalyst? I was thinking that there may be some remnants of 5.13 seeing as I only uninstalled via Control Panel.

Here is summary information from EVEREST in case it helps:

Presario 2100
Windows XP Home Edition (SP3)
AMD Athlon 1866MHz CPU
ATI Radeon IGP 320M Chipset
448MB memory
Radeon IGP 320M (64mb) video adapter.

Thanks for any help offered.

Randomness you know audio drivers for windows vista for my pc HP PAVILION ZE4513EA ??? because i dont find them :/ plz help

suckface

hello,
i've been reading this thread for a very long time now, and u guys helped me a lot, thank u all.
but i still have this issue.
let me first tell what laptop i own:
i have a old compaq EVO N1020v with windows XP pro and pentium 4.
graphicscard: Radeon IGP 340M with memory set to 64mb and 512 mb RAM( so 448mb RAM).
when i first bought the laptop 4 years ago, it had a catalyst 4.4 driver installed which caused numerous problems. after some researche on the internet i came to this place, and from here i downloaded modded catalyst 6.4 driver from patje (that was 1 year after i bought the laptop).
that's some great work done by patje, i could play movies whitout lagging nor chopping.. the games went fine (much better than with te c4.4) but still...old games should work perfectly on high quality which it didn't...
for example the game '1nsane' from codemasters and invictus. it's an old game dated from the year 2000. i get choppy images if i set the resolutin to 1024*786 and while playing it gets choppier and choppier...
and CALL OF DUTY 1 with all video-settings to low still doesn't run smoothly and sometimes it jams... there where many modded or unmodded drivers that you driverheaven-people posted but which (modded) driver do u guys advise me for the best performance for my laptop..

thx in advance

Hello,

I read almost the totality of this topic, which is very detailed, but I still need your help.

Sorry for my bad English, I'm French.

I search a driver who allow to read DVD, Video File (AVI, WMV, ...) and play games.

What are the latest driver (modded or not) who permit this and are compatible with my Compaq Presario 907 EA with ATI Radeon IGP-320M U1 ?

I've tried a lot of different version of driver. If needed I can describe what happens with what driver.

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

I will test a bit more and notice what happens with which driver, so that you have the maximum of infos to help me.

Some useful element you should know to help me :

• OS : Win XP Pro (5.1, Build 2600) SP3 (2600.xpsp.080413-2111)
• DirectX Version : DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904)
• Computer : Compaq Presario 907 EA
• Processor : Mobile AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1500+, MMX, 3DNow, ~1.3GHz
• Memory : 512MB RAM (448MB RAM + 64MB RAM shared with Graphic Chipset)
• Graphic Card/Chipset :
  • Card name : ATI MOBILITY IGP 320M
  • Device Key : Enum\PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4336&SUBSYS_00B00E11&REV_00

So that there is least possible confusion, I am going to describe you how I will find elements that I will report.

For the driver, I note the Catalyst Version, the Control Panel Version, the Catalyst Control Panel Version, the Catalyst Release Version and the Display Driver "ati2dvag.dll" File Version, by proceeding as follows :

1. I launch DH ATI File Version 1.6.1 (available from http://www.drivercleaner.net/index.php?site=tools), assuring me to have restarted Windows after the installation of the driver.
2. I copy the information displayed.

For the Direct3D and DirectDraw capability, I proceed as follows :

1. I start "dxdiag", assuring me to have restarted Windows after the installation of the driver.
2. I go in tab "Display", and test if Direct3D and DirectDraw is working correctly or not.

To verify if playing a game in Direct3D works correctly, I proceed as follows :

1. I launch the TrackMania Nations 0.1.7.9 (TrackMania Nations 0.1.7.5 is available from http://download.nvidia.com/downloads...ESWC_Setup.exe and the update to TrackMania Nations 0.1.7.9 from TrackMania Nations 0.1.7.5 is available from http://www.focus-files.com/patchs/tm..._179_setup.exe), and not TrackMania Nations Forever.
2. I start a benchmark : I start the program, I click on "Configure", I start the benchmark in full screen with resolution 640x480 and "Faster" selected in the field "Performance/Quality".
3. I note if all is ok, and when it is not ok what happens.
4. I verify the menu from the game is displayed correctly : I start the program, I click on "Play".
5. I note if all is ok, and when it is not ok what happens.

To verify if playing video file works well, I proceed as follows with a WMV file (loaded from http://homepage.mac.com/pnaton/.Publ...20Lift%201.wmv) and a MPG or MPEG file (loaded from http://fichiersgb22.free.fr/modules/...tos/motard.mpg) :

1. I launch VLC media player 0.9.2 for Windows (available from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html), assuring me to have restarted Windows after the installation of the driver.
2. I start playing the WMV file with the video output on "Default". To choose the video output, I open "Tools -> Preferences -> Video" and select the video output in the list box "Output". By security, after every change, I close VLC and I started it again, before playing the file.)
3. I note what happens.
4. I start playing the WMV file again with "DirectX 3D video output" and "OpenGL video output".
5. I note what happens.
6. I start playing the MPG file with "Default", then with "DirectX 3D video output" and then "OpenGL video output".
7. I note what happens.

To change the installed driver, I proceed as follows :

1. I uninstall all ATI things throw "Add/Remode Programs".
2. I restart and reinstall the driver provided by Compaq/HP (available from http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=hb-20460-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=fr〈=en&os=228&product=235647) and restart again.
3. And I install the driver which I test.

If you need other elements, do not hesitate to ask to me for them.

I will report the result of my tries as quickly as possible.

Greets,
