Hmmm, no WDM support for X1900 users? So what are X1900 users supposed to do? Do we still have to install that stuff from the CD (yuck), or did they just forget to add the X1900 to the release notes?

Note: The ATI WDM Driver Install Bundle contains both the ATI WDM Driver versions 8.20 and 4.07. The setup program automatically detects the ATI All-in-Wonder® or ATI VIVO™ product installed in your system and installs the appropriate ATI WDM components.

The WDM version 8.20 is installed on:
· All-in-Wonder® X1800 Series
· All-in-Wonder® X800 Series
· All-in-Wonder® X600 Series
· All-in-Wonder® 9800 Series
· All-in-Wonder® 9700 Series
· All-in-Wonder® 9600 Series

***Zardon*** · Feb 9, 2006, 03:04 PM

guys please remember to vote for the drivers and Control center in the sticky threads in this forum section. ATI use the polls for internal briefings etc.

OmegaRED · Feb 9, 2006, 03:05 PM

Looks like a pretty useless driverset to me. Maybe thats why they are out so early there arent any performance increases (remember those?).

Necrosis · Feb 9, 2006, 03:24 PM

WHAT NO X1900 support??? WTF!?!

Whew..x1900 series is supported in this release.

Robert McClelland · Feb 9, 2006, 03:45 PM

I hope MMC would be out soon I hope they fix that tv lag sound issue where it's delay like couple secs. on Svideo opps forget put that part in anyway thanks for drivres Terry

Exceededgoku · Feb 9, 2006, 03:48 PM

I'm still getting terrible FPS in FEAR at all settings on full

. How did the reviewers get 200+ FPS maximum?! It's completely unplayable to me...

jpinard · Feb 9, 2006, 04:39 PM

Zardon - can't rate the drivers until we test them out more. Just installing them isn't a good indicator, and it takes time.

I would like to know about the promised fps increases for X1900 users. I see no mention in the support page about 1900 speed increases...
Unless I'm missing something CCC seems exactly the same if you're an advanced user.

And it's getting real irritating ATI hasn't done anything about the 3D Refresh Rate Override. I can run 1600x1200 at 100 Hz... and CCC still limits us to 85 Hz. It's annoying... still having to switch it manually for every stinking game.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Feb 9, 2006, 04:42 PM

ill skip this update unless theres performance benefits, and STILL NO NFS MOST WANTED FIX. they forgot about the game by now.

Scoop · Feb 9, 2006, 04:48 PM

I have the x1900xtx but in the ccc and the adapter type info it just says Radeon X1900 Series. Is this normal or should it say radeon X1900XTX ??

Exceededgoku · Feb 9, 2006, 05:35 PM

ye it seems us X1900 XTX users got shafted and hard.... I really want to use my card for gaming lol, it lags at high rez...

jpinard · Feb 9, 2006, 05:52 PM

First time ever (in like 3 years) that the uninstall did not work right. I got an error, then it tried to uninstall anyways, and it left all kinds of driver stuff. In fact it still displays in normal X1900 mode after uninstallation (and it no longer exists in add/remove programs).

I'll use drivercleaner to clean it up... but if anyone else uninstalls please post if this happens to you too.

No shadow issues to fix in the first place, the fable shadow issue was fixed last driver. Only other thing left is the FPS performance with shadows enabled in NFS:MW and that may or may not require a game patch.

BF2 blocky shadows a driver issue? NOPE
NFS:MW blocky shadows a driver issue ? NOPE

ace11 · Feb 9, 2006, 08:49 PM

nope, x800xt pe here ... 1st time i see HQ AF option @ CCC ....
anyway , what does it do ??

Spyre · Feb 9, 2006, 09:01 PM

None angle dependant AF filtering, and only X1x00 cards can make use of the functionality

FDM80 · Feb 9, 2006, 09:09 PM

I don't know why it is only limited to 1X00 cards if there are people including myself who can clearly see this option whily running x800 cards.

To answer your question, yes, that's normal.
All X9100 cards use the same core. The only difference is between a vanilla to Pro or XT is the coolers, clocks and probes so it's normal that it picks it up as a "member" of the X1900 family.

Do we still have to install that stuff from the CD (yuck), or did they just forget to add the X1900 to the release notes? Note: The ATI WDM Driver Install Bundle contains both the ATI WDM Driver versions 8.20 and 4.07. The setup program automatically detects the ATI All-in-Wonder® or ATI VIVO™ product installed in your system and installs the appropriate ATI WDM components.

jpinard DriverHeaven Addict Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 284 Rep Power: 0	Zardon - can't rate the drivers until we test them out more. Just installing them isn't a good indicator, and it takes time. I would like to know about the promised fps increases for X1900 users. I see no mention in the support page about 1900 speed increases... Unless I'm missing something CCC seems exactly the same if you're an advanced user. And it's getting real irritating ATI hasn't done anything about the 3D Refresh Rate Override. I can run 1600x1200 at 100 Hz... and CCC still limits us to 85 Hz. It's annoying... still having to switch it manually for every stinking game.

I got an error, then it tried to uninstall anyways, and it left all kinds of driver stuff. In fact it still displays in normal X1900 mode after uninstallation (and it no longer exists in add/remove programs). I'll use drivercleaner to clean it up... but if anyone else uninstalls please post if this happens to you too.
