Catalyst 5.8 released (and on DH a day before ATI.com)!

Sandok · Aug 16, 2005, 03:34 PM

you seem to be enjoying it Zardon

Anyways, this is soo cool! Thanks terry a ton and all you guys at ati for kickass support! Long live DH too of course!

gandalfthegrey · Aug 16, 2005, 03:38 PM

i havent seen hyde nor tail of terry in months now i know where hes been hiding :waves:

Poppi · Aug 16, 2005, 03:41 PM

Can we deselect CCC during the install process?

Volcom929 · Aug 16, 2005, 03:41 PM

Thank you very much Terry and Zardon for putting this together for us a day early. I think some of the people here are unappreciative for all you that goes into these, just ignore them and keep it up. I am gonna make the switch from CP to CCC for this, wish me luck. I installed the .NET software and updates so it should be fine.

DH and ATI rock!!!!!!!

zerra · Aug 16, 2005, 03:44 PM

wow, looks like a great set:
my first 3dmark05 results 5659: best points ever on my system!

thx ati and driverheaven!

DH and ATI rock!!!!!!!!!!!

Why no early release of the regular Control Panel set?

Any way to just install the driver?

yes unpack the CCC version and do a manual install of the driver via windows. However give the CCC a shot, its pretty fast now.

why? Well quite simply because i want everyone to try out the CCC. And this just may force you to.

If you dont want to, then just wait for tomorrow for the regular scheduled posting.

Widkidone · Aug 16, 2005, 04:00 PM

As a CCC hater that i am (as Zardon knows) this version is outstanding!!!!! No problems! GJ Terry!

The CCC is what ATi is promoting right now, so it makes perfect sense to release the CCC version first. I was under the impression that the 5.7 driver was going to be the last one that offered support for the normal "CP". Anyway, you will have get used to the CCC because sooner or later ATi will stop supporting it. Also you can install just the driver; but how are you going to change/tweak the driver to your taste if you don't have a control panel?

Ferret_Style · Aug 16, 2005, 04:00 PM

Thanks terry

another great release... and yah ... CCC .. MUCH MUCH FASTER to load up on this release!

No big deal.

I just copied the driver components from the 5.8 set you released into the 5.7 CP set and I am running 5.8 with the CP just fine.

bake15 · Aug 16, 2005, 04:04 PM

i never thought id say it but the CCC rocks, its as fast as the old cp now

Nice work guys

oohhhh you are such a rebel!!!

you could probably continue to use CP 5.7 for many years to come if you like it that much

zerra · Aug 16, 2005, 04:12 PM

Glad it worked out good for you. Hey once you have it for a few days dont forget to rate this driver from 1-10 for me. It helps track our progress

Rate Catalyst 5.8 (driver only) to vote just for the driver itself

Rate Catalyst 5.8 (CCC only) to vote just for the version of CCC

OpusP.Gladiator · Aug 16, 2005, 04:15 PM

[color=Lime]Booyakasha!

[color=Teal]Sure Hope that say's it all! In any case... might this become a great way for DH members who never win any of the cool contest to actually get something for nothing

Oh yea!

It's a great tool. And Ray Adams is excellent with his support. The guy really cares. Kinda' like ATI and Driverheaven

Probably.

Sorry, but I'm just not convinced with CCC yet, especially combined with a now pretty outdated .NET (that I also refuse to install) that M$ doesn't seem to want to keep updated.

willardjuice · Aug 16, 2005, 04:19 PM

Hey Terry will the X800 XT AIW ever see overdrive support? I sort of want it

Crisao23 · Aug 16, 2005, 04:28 PM

Thanks a lot for the driver, I mirrored it on my FileFront.com account:

superdigg · Aug 16, 2005, 04:29 PM

What tha...?!? I'm stuck in 640x480 anc 4(!!!)bit color! Fresh install but I have .NET 2 beta - could this be the problem? Whenever I restart I get a message from CCC telling me that it needs to adjust settings but nothing happens.

germanjulian · Aug 16, 2005, 04:30 PM

thanks.... mhh downloading pretty fast it seems

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Aug 16, 2005, 04:32 PM

OK how do I do this.
Unpack it with what.

MiDri · Aug 16, 2005, 04:34 PM

I keep geting cli.exe errors after rebooting... (Can't get into CCC, because of it.) Tryed driver cleaner and also downloaded the drivers 2 times (to make sure it wasent a bad dl...)

.net 1.1 with updates and beta 2 are Very unstable on some setups.
