Okay ive been searching the internet (and this forum ) for a driver for my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro.
I know its an old card.. but its still decent.
ATI have put it under the Legacy support list? but if i try and install that.. Windows 7 wants to tell me that the Microsoft Corporation WDDM Driver is better and wont let me install it.
is there a work around this?
And is it possible to get Aero Support with this Graphics card?
I have currently as you can see in my system specs the 9800 gx2 card which has 2 gpu's that add up to 1gb memory when its in sli mode. My question is is it better for me to use my 8800 gtx then the 9800 gx2? both use pci express but the 9800 uses the pci express 2 or x16 whatever it is. My mobo only has pci express so im not really getting the full power out of the 9800 gx2 as it is. Looking for a opinion if i should change out for the 8800 gtx. Planning on a new build in a couple months anyhow with all updated parts. But for the time being i was curious.
I just finished upgrading my g-card from a nVidia 9800 GT to a Radeon HD 5770, now when i turn on my comp, it gets stuck at the windows start up screen.
I tried putting back in my old g-card and it starts up fine, I also used driver sweeper and uninstalled my nvidia drivers but still no luck. I also cleared my CMOS, still no luck. I'm out of ideas!!
So I'm thinking about upgrading to a better GPU and I've decided that I want to try ATI. I find their model numbering system extremely foggy, so could someone point me in the direction of the ATI equivalent of the GeForce 9800 GT/GTX+?
I have nVidia Geforce 9800 GT graphic card and some time after my screen-saver started at once windows showed me message that my graphic card has stop working and that it recovered now. What is that should I be worried?
Im simply trying to install from vista 64-bit. This is my first windows install. it starts the install then on the first reboot it goes to a black screen with only a curser, ive been trying for ever and i just cant figure this out...
ive tryed mutiple times upgrading and custom installs but nothing is working.
ive installed windows 7 in c drive i deleted the hard drive first before i installed it. now my mouse keeps freezing every so often but when i press a button it refreshes for a few seconds before freezing again ive updated as much as i can i put in a old graphics card and windows seemed to run a little better although not by much i have a navidia 9800gtx+ gigabyte and have no idea what to do i have spent lots of hours looking for a solution on threads to this problem but to no avail if anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
OK, so I have a BFG Geforce 9800 GT OC 1GB GDDR3 card.
Now, onboard video memory is 1024MB, obviously. However, whenever I do dxdiag, it tells me that I have "Approx. Total Memory: 494 MB".
What the hell? That's less than half of what I actually have. I didn't actually notice this until today, when I went to play Prototype on my PC for the first time, and it wouldn't let me set my resolution to anything above 1024x768.
According to Prototypes read me, the resolutions are locked at certain levels.
Cards with less than 512 MB cannot access resolutions with widths of greater than 1280 or heights of 720. This means with a card of LESS THAN 512MB VRAM has these available:
640 x 480
800 x 480
800 x 600
1024 x 768
1152 x 720
1152 x 864
1280 x 720
1280 x 800
Cards with less than 1024 MB cannot access resolutions with widths of greater than 1600 or heights of 1080. This means with a card of LESS THAN 1024MB VRAM has these available:
The following are only available for cards with 512MB VRAM or more:
I need to change the hardware acceleration settings, but when I go to advanced display settings trouble shoot tab the button is shaded grey and unclickable. I've updated to the latest driver and cannot find the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel to change the hardware acceleration.
Can any1 help me with this driver for windows 7 , or at least for vista x64 , i'm a little bit nubbish with the search on google i found only catalist but didn't found the driver.
I have searched high and low for this and still can't find it. Don't suppose any of you guys have it? I tried the catalyst but still no dice, last driver for it is on vista, doesn't go onto 7.
I have read numerous posts on how to get the ATI Radeon 9250 card to work with Windows 7 but I cannot get any solution to work with win 7.64I do realize that this card is not compatible or recommended for win 7. I just need to get it working short term until I can buy a replacement, this is the only PCI card I had to get this new system working.
I recently installed an ATI Radeon 9550 HD display driver to my computer, Windows XP SP2 32bit . Before that, my computer was running in VGA mode only. But though, I have downloaded the driver and installed it with the Catalyst Control Center. After rebooting, what I got is a black screen after Windows XP boot screen. I shut down the computer and now I saw the classic WELCOME with the blue background... but nothing more. After rebooting the PC for about 5 times, I got past the WELCOME stuff and to the desktop. As I watched the Device Manager, It says the I Have Installed the ATI Driver and its secondary Driver. But though, if I right-click my desktop and go to Display Properties>Settings>Advanced>Display Adapter I saw that there was no Display Driver and I was still running in VGA. VGA sucks because you can't play any 3D games or even Google Earth won't work. Now everyday I start the PC, I have to reboot about 5 times untill I get it working. It's been almost a month since I'm doing this and it caused me alot of nerves and boredoom.But though, sometimes I think the ATI works since I boot the PC, then I see the black screen and hear that start sound like when you XP starts. I managed to acces the Narator and saw that PC was actually working, except was like blind. I am looking for some fix tips and reply ASAP.
Have a VTX Radeon HD5450 silent GPU and I cannot find the driver from either the VTX or AMD sites. The download which half an hour from VTX was in Latvian (no insult intended) or some such language and included a heap of Microsoft stuff.
The AMD site doesn't throw one up when I click on the HD 5450 download am at a loss as what to do!
i installed Windows 7 Professional 32bit on My GPU is compatible with Aero, why I can't use it? I tried to install all windows drivers, but it doesn't work.
when i installed windows 7 i tried to install drivers ..realtek driver was succesfully installed but when im trying to install video driver in the middle of installation comes out message "the monitor might flicker" or sth like that and than monitor becomes black and than blue screen appears with error and immediately the monitor switchs off with message "out of range 28 khz30 khz"
I saw a similar thread here with the solution of increasing the idle clock speed of your GPU: Windows 7 with Radeon HD 5770
I am having very similar problems where my graphics card driver seems to crash all the time when I'm doing thing that don't stress the GPU. This started happening after I added 8 GB of memory that I bought recently. The thing is I can't find a way to edit the idle clock speed of my GPU in the new CCC. I have tried using the 11.12 and 12.1 and its the same thing. In my C:Users{YourUserName}AppDataLocalATIACE folder I noticed that the profiles.xml file is what has the CoreClockSpeed option but I can't seem to edit it (I open it and change the numbers but when I save it gets reverted right away).
I just installed Windows 7 Pro 32-bit on my old IBM/Lenovo T60p and everything is great except for my video card driver... Even though I've downloaded and installed the Windows 7 drivers from Lenovo's website, windows insists on using the standard VGA graphics adapter and wont let me change to the ATI drivers. As a result, I only have access to 16Mb of graphics memory and can't run any of my more graphics-intensive programs. Any ideas?
I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional on my laptop and for the most part everything went extremely smooth. I just have one question, what is the most recent edition of the driver for my GPU? Is it 8.632 as provided by my laptop manufacturers website?
I'm having a terrible time with this ATI Catalyst driver. Yes, I've read all of the sticky topics and nothing works. I have an HIS Radeon 4350. No drivers downloaded from anywhere work. When I run the install software, it fails after I click the gold "install" button. I get a Windows 7 error report with the same old "DisableSessions" solution, which does absolutely nothing.
It runs, I see the "success" message, I even looked in the registry to make sure the keys were gone. They are and the Catalyst driver still will not install. Yes, I even tried compatibility mode, sadly on the compatibility dropdown, I see "Widows XP SP1" and it's disaabled so I can't change it.
Also, I have no surround sound. Yes, I have the ATI DVI/HDMI adapter. Yes I downloaded and installed the Realtek HDMI driver. It only shows two channels. No clue what's going on there either.
Why is it completely impossible to install any software for this video card? I've tried everything. Haven't I?
My issue is that my video card drivers are not working right I have tried old and new and still locking up the card when I play Dirt 2 or NFS Pro Street. Everything work great until I put a load on the video card like try to play a game or go full screen with online video (u-tube – CNN new) Yes I tried the 9.12 also nothing well fix it.
I have removed all drivers first and all ATI Catalyst, too. I have installed the ATI Radeon HD 5770 on to my old XP Pro 32 bit with 9.12 XP drivers and it works great and can over clock the H out of it.
But Win 7 64 bit with no over clocking at all well not work worth a ^%$. Anyone have this issue? Did ya fix it? I am about to reload XP Pro 32 bit but would hate to do that.
I had windows 7 installed on my system by the local Staples Office store yesterday. When they installed it my Vid card, a ATI Radeon 4650HD (1gig) was already plugged into the motherboard.
I've tried installing both the drivers and the CCC for the card but it doesn't seem to be recognized by windows 7. When i go into the device manager under Display Adapters it reads "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter". I had thought that under Windows XP when i looked there it recognized my card, am I installing the drivers wrong? Is windows not seeing them?
