Chode Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Catalyst A.I.Ive searched and not seen anything, Unless its hidden deep inside a thread. There is Standard And Advanced. I've read they improve performance. But by doing so, do they descrease visual quality or is it the same or better quality?? 585612510[/snapback] Google for a sweet program called "ATI Tray Tools". I use it and I don't even need to use the Classic Control Panel anymore :happy: You can access the A.I. settings through it as well (as well as Temporal Antialiasing). My 9800 Pro loathes these drivers. After installing them I went through 3 VPU recovers on the desktop, my monitor would turn off I hit APPLY under the SMARTGART settings, and Far Cry is corrupting beyond belief! (Both 1.0 and 1.3). All of these issues (except the Far Cry one) resolved themselves within 3 reboots. Looks like I'll be going back to the 5.2's And yes...Chode (once NVIDIA fan #13524327B) has converted to ATI. Lack of decent drivers from NVIDIA have turned me off them for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 9800 Pro users, I recommend steering clear of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberChief Posted March 15, 2005 Share Posted March 15, 2005 I downloaded the Catalyst driver from your link. I use Norton Internet Security 2005 and it scanned the downloaded driver and said it had adware included. The file Adware.BarginBuddy was detected by the Norton Antivirus 2005. I went to the site and received the same adware notice when I downloaded the file directly from ATI. :angry: I can't believe they would include adware in a driver update. There was no way to contact their support to ask if this was indeed true. Their support function really is lousy when it comes to product support. :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
