w0lv3r1n3 Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 Been on lots of forums trying to get my gaming issues resolved.. Everyone had a different "fix", although the most prevelent seemed to be the "affinity" fix.. That seemed to work on only a few games.. Tried everthing else, including tweaking my ram timing and so forth. Anyways, I was on ATI's site on friday and noticed they had a new driver set out.. Catalyst 5.12 for Win64 Pro.. I didn't get too excited as that never seemed to help, we won't even go into the "Catalyst or Not" debate.. Like i said, wasn't too excited until I read the release notes: Catayst® for Windows XP Professional x64 Edition introduces dual core support.. Humm.. So I uninstalled my old ( 5.11, with the non-catalyst control panel ) Installed the new 5.12 WITH Catalyst.. Everything works great !... Havent had to do the "affinity" deal or use the 2000 launcher which i was using just to get some of my games to work! Anyone using an AMD Dual Core processor with an ATI card and having simular problems to what I've described, giver 'er a try.. Worked great for me!

Angry_Games Posted December 15, 2005 Posted December 15, 2005 as a small note, the new 81.95 drivers for Nvidia gpu's have the same sort of 'dual core cpu' fix as the new CAT drivers, and I have had zero issues with any game since updating to them for my 7800GTX on the X2 4400+ hopefully both the ATI and Nvidia drivers that have new dual-core cpu enhancements will fix a lot of the issues that aren't fixed by the MS hotfix and AMD cpu driver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I installed lastest ForceWare drivers and not fixed nothing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
