new hardware found?

[Dax_inside]

Hi chaps

Ive just updated my graphics drivers and for some reason my system tells me its found new hardware even after ive installed the drivers properly.

This isnt the first time ive done this so im not quite sure whats causing it but the new hardware is apparently 'on' on x50xt graphics card. ive got the .net framework installed so im not sure what it is.

any ideas?

its video capture thingie (x850xt right)

first install wdm drivers (if u r not using "big" driver package and u can deselect wdm there too)
and then catalyst drivers

i would recomedn to dump ccc as its piece of crap

use ati tray tools instead for same and even more functionality

kill that vpu recovery crap and disable fastwrites

Im using this page for the drivers, i cant see any WDM drivers.
https://support.ati.com/ics/support/def ... lderID=367

also, i dont know what your talking about with all that other stuff whats the ccc thing?

thanks for the help mate.

EDIT: just noticed the WDM drivers right there actually, sorry.

would u mind explaining the other things you mentioned though?

CCC = Catalyst Control Center. You are better off without it.

uhm, xp x64? bit different packages but it shouldnt be a problems

if u follow links u will get to table with packages, like

-Microsoft .NET Framework
-Display Driver, Catalyst Control Center <----- CCC
-WDM Integrated Driver

first u install wdm, then that display driver with ccc

(http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=733
there is only ver ATT for standard 32 bit sry )

in ccc u have options (dont know where exactly as i dont use that sry, but should be there)

fastwrite is disabled in my bios and ccc.

so you think i should uninstal ccc and use ati tools instead?

what other settings should i look out for? ive never touched ccc before.

theres no version of ATT for 64bit windows

if u r using standard (32bit) ver of win xp then yep, dump ccc

vpu recovery option, disable that

Is this a stand alone video card or is it built onto the motherboard?

Nothing to it (found new hardware) but a little hint / tip:
try omega drivers with ati. they are based on catalyst drivers, let you choose to instal ccc or tray tools and all settings are done to give best performance.
works fine on mine (x850gto on amd64 with xppro)

I use ccc with win32 without anyprobs whatsoever (keeping my fingers crossed)

i didnt say problems , but just take a look in task manager how much memory that crap uses and what for
not to mention its responsivnes is like dead cow

my comp is running aswell as it ever has done, thanks for the tips

6300 on 3dmark 05. it didnt go up when i upgraded my CPU, which i thought was odd. but bf2 runs at max res now with nearly everything on max which it didnt before. ill trade bf2 increases over 3dmark scores any day of the week

that's nice to hear, hope it stays at this level.
