Pegasus124 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have an ATI ATI Mobility Radeon Xpress 200m Series (not sure if the 200m is any different from the 200) with 128mb dedicated and 128mb shared, thus giving me a combined total of 256mb. I can confirm that they work on my 200m, aside from the fact that my notebook's native screen resolution is 1680x1050 of course. ;) This is installed on my Vista Ultimate RC2 by the way, I plan on getting and installing Windows Vista Ultimate full retail x64 when it hits store shelves. :) So go ahead and give it a shot, they should work for you as well.

qkslvr221 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 Just installed these on my 2 month old vista x64, and while I do notice some improvement, the FPS rates compared to XP are pitiful. CSS stress test gets ~100fps with my ATI X1950XTX (resolution is 1920 x 1200 with max settings), while xp got around 175. Truly disappointing. :no: EDIT: in addition, half life 2 seems to bog down quite a bit as well, and only reaches 50fps in most scenarios. Are these drivers really that far behind XP still or is it just me?

Guillaume.Lafrance Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 why do ppl bother with opengl anyways, like i bet half the ppl here complaining about it dont even use it for anything So many games use OGL. For example, Prey. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/533967-ati-catalyst-71-for-vista-out-now/page/2/#findComment-588274059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeston Veteran Posted January 30, 2007 Veteran Share Posted January 30, 2007 This is weird, the installer only lets me install the Control Center and not the drivers. Anyone else getting this? Am I doing something wrong?And the Control Center isn't much use, it seems. You've got problems Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/533967-ati-catalyst-71-for-vista-out-now/page/2/#findComment-588274063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
verbal11 Posted January 30, 2007 Share Posted January 30, 2007 This driver (and the previous version) prevent my system from going to sleep from idle. It goes to sleep if I press the sleep button, but never goes to sleep on its own. Anyone else seeing this?
