Driver-update: ATi Catalyst 7.3

Op de website van ATi zijn zojuist nieuwe drivers gereleast voor de videokaarten die uitgerust zijn met een Radeon 9500-chip of nieuwer. Om precies te zijn gaat het dit keer om versie 7.3, die gedownload kan worden voor Windows XP (29MB), Windows XP Media Center Edition (29MB), Windows XP x64 (30MB) evenals Windows Vista (37MB) en Windows Vista x64 (48MB). Catalyst 7.3 kenmerkt zich niet alleen aan de lange waslijst met veranderingen en nieuwe features, maar ook door de ondersteuning van Folding@Home waarmee de gpu gebruikt kan worden om eiwitten te vouwen. Hiervoor moet er echter minimaal een Radeon X1600 in het Windows-systeem zitten. Wat er precies veranderd is in Catalyst 7.3 kan je hieronder lezen:

New Features

• OpenGL CrossFire™ Support Under Windows Vista
  Catalyst™ 7.3 introduces OpenGL CrossFire™ support for the entire ATI Radeon™ X1000 product series under Microsoft Vista. Users will see significant performance gains in a number of applications when running in CrossFire™ mode under Windows Vista.
• CrossFire™ Enhancements for Windows Vista
  Catalyst™ 7.3 includes CrossFire™ enhancements for Windows Vista that enable the Alternate Frame Rendering (AFR) CrossFire™ rendering mode by default, enabling performance benefits for all AFR compatible applications immediately (including newly released applications that have not been officially profiled for CrossFire™). Future Catalyst™ releases will add further CrossFire™ performance gains once new applications have been profiled specifically for CrossFire™.

Performance Improvements

Dark Messiah Might and Magic performance improves 12.5% or greater on all Radeon™ X1000 series configurations when running in CrossFire™ mode under both the Windows XP and Windows Vista operating systems. Larger gains of 60% or more can be seen on high end products.

ATI's Folding@Home

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project designed by the Stanford University. The application performs intensive simulations of protein folding. This simulation will help researchers uncover how certain diseases develop. Folding@Home uses distributed computing to simulate protein folding, the workload is broken up into small work units and distributed across hundreds of thousands of computers over the internet. You can help find the cure to many different diseases!

waarom niet gewoon alleen de driver installeren zonder CC en dan ati traytools gebruiken voor configuratie zaken? Onder vista.

[InsanelyHack]

Omdat Ati Traytools niet werkt onder Vista!

[YoYoost]

De nieuwste beta's wel kijk eens op http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=206455

[InsanelyHack]

Hé kei bedankt ! Deze werkt idd.

de 27 maart beta versie hier op te halen :

[Nice Guy Eddie]

De control center werkt bij mij steeds niet onder Vista 32bit (vorige versie ook al niet). Ik heb een X1950 pro. Zie dus niks in de taakbalk. Ook 'runtime opnieuw starten' helpt niet. Iemand suggesties?

Op reactie van martijnve: Ik heb ook een ATI uninstall cleaner programma gedraaid, maar werkte ook niet.

[martijnve]

Ik heb ook een x1950pro en vista 32 bit en het werkt hier perfect. Heb je al een keer geprobeerd de hele driver + ccc te deinstalleren en dan opnieuw er op te zetten?

[WietBoer]

Getverdemme, hier ook weer een niet werkende control center.
Zelfde verhaal met versie 7.2. Ik word er een beetje moe van.

Mja dan maar weer terug naar 7.1

Edit: Ik draai Vista Ultimate 32bit, met een x1900XT.

[Tranquility]

Waarom wil je persé die control center hebben?
Ik installeer al jaren alleen de drivers zonder die meuk...
Is nog stabieler ook.

[Jack Flushell]

Is nog stabieler ook.

Onzin.

[Godjira]

Zojuist de 7.3 drivers geïnstalleerd, na uiteraard alle voorgaande drivers (7.1) netjes gedeïnstalleerd te hebben. Helaas, de CCC werkt niet meer. Sterker nog, na installatie van de drivers en de eerste Windows reboot, kreeg ik een BOD. Lekker dan...

Ik ga de ATI tray tools eens proberen.

Lees dit eens, ik vond het net:


737-26900: Radeon™ products - Catalyst 7.3 for Vista Causes BSOD Error Referencing Win32k.sys in Some Systems

The information in this article applies to the following configuration(s):
Catalyst Display Driver 7.3
Windows Vista 32-bit Edition
Windows Vista 64-bit Edition
Symptoms:
After installing Catalyst 7.3 drivers and rebooting the computer, in rare cases, some users may experience a blue screen (BSOD) error referencing Win32k.sys.

Cause:
The cause of this issue is not yet known.

Workaround:
To work around this issue, you can disable the ATI External Event Utility service or revert back to using Catalyst 7.2.

To revert back to Catalyst 7.2:

Start the system in safe mode by pressing F8 before the Windows loading screens.
Once at the desktop, click on the Windows logo button (start)>Accessories>System Tools>System Restore.
Use the "Recommended Restore" option, which should restore the system to before you installed the updated drivers.
OR

To disable the ATI External Event Utility, please use the following steps:

Boot to Safe Mode by pressing F8 before the Windows loading screen
When loaded to the desktop, click on the Windows logo button (start)>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services
Right click on the ATI External Event Utility and select properties
Use the drop down menu to set the startup type to disabled, click OK
Restart the system

ATI Engineering has been advised of this issue and is investigating. Any updates will be published when they become available.

[dirkjesdirk]

Grmbl, dat had ik dus ook.
Heb me een rotje gezocht waarom elke keer vlak voor het bureaublad zou moeten verschijnen een BSOD opdoemde
Omdat ik net aan het OC-en was, dacht ik dat het daar aan lag. Pas na een hele avond ontdekt dat het aan catalyst 7.3 lag.

Nu maar weer even terug naar 7.1

[Anoniem: 40851]

Heeft iemand al de clone mode aan de praat op een resolutie hoger dan 1024x768??

[__Rza]

Nee, het valt na een reboot altijd terug op 1024x768.
Ik ga proberen een resolutie te forceren.

[seninha]

Hier het zelfde verhaal. Vista 32bit ism X1900Xt. CCstart niet op, zelfs de ATI icoon in de startbalk komt niet naar voren.

Wet niet wat er aan de hand is met ATI maar had tot nu toe nooit problemen met hun software, was altijd blij geen Nvidia.
Maar nu weet ik het ff niet meer.

ben ook maar terug naar 7.1

[prutser001]

Heb hier ook een X1900XT en heb geen enkel probleem, misschien dat je iets fout doet?
Eerst stond 7.2 erop, 7.3 gedownload update optie gekozen en geen enkel probleem.

[4Reload]

Is het iemand al opgevallen dat onder Windows Vista
de Windows Experience Index gigantisch omhoog is
gegaan. Zo haal ik nu met een met mijn oude test
pc(tje) met een Asus 9550 (256 mb) een 'Graphics'
score van 5.9
Dit is dus gewoon hetzelfde als mijn andere kaarten,
die echt veel veel meer geld kosten....

De 'Gaming Graphics' zijn echter gelijk gebleven, maarja
dat zal Ati volgende maand wel oplossen

[Fern]

5.9 is het maximum wat je kunt halen,6.0 zal niemand halen,ook al heb je de nieuwste R600 of wat maar ook

[Postie]

Moet zeggen dat ik het wel kan waarderen dat ze ondersteuning voor folding@home implementeren (of was dat al het geval). Volgens een eerdere post, kunnen deze nog sneller rekenen dan de PS3 versie van folding@home. Iemand enig idee wat voor impact dat heeft trouwens op je videokaart dat ie continu staat te rekenen?

Hopelijk werkt deze versie trouwens wel goed, de vorige release deed het compleet niet eigenlijk.

[pimpimmers]

Het kon al, wist ik ook niet. Hieronder kan je zien welke driver werkt en welke niet.

The following versions of Catalyst are known to work with the GPU client:

* 6.5
* 6.10
* 6.11
* 7.2
* 7.3

The GPU client will work with these drivers with a significant performance hit:

* 6.6
* 6.7

The following drivers do not work at all with the GPU client:

* 6.8
* 6.9
* 6.12
* 7.1

[ChkDsk]

Hoe ik het CCC aan de praat heb gekregen:

Apparaatbeheer je X1900 uninstallen en aanvinken dat je de drivers ook wil verwijderen.

CCC deinstalleren via config panel. Reboot, drivers die standaard voor je X1900 worden geinstalleerd weer deinstallen volgens stap 1 hier. Dan nieuwe CCC + driver setup draaien, reboot klaar.

Hier werkt het allemaal onder Vista Ultimate x64

[Nice Guy Eddie]

Het is nu eindelijk op deze manier wel gelukt. Alles uninstall, en een ati driver cleaner erover. Daarna in apparaatbeheer ook de drivers weghalen. Daarna had ik 7.1 catalyst geinstalleerd. Hierbij installeerde hij gek genoeg alleen de CCC en niet de driver zelf. Daarna maar gewoon 7.3 geinstalleerd en toen werkte alles (en dus ook CCC) wel.

[Demon_Eyez]

Voor Vista 32bit krijg je CCC ook aan de praat als je als volgt te werk gaat:

- deinstalleer alle ATi software via de deinstallatie tool in het configuratiescherm
- verwijder alle Ati mappen van je computer (zowel in root C:\ als in Program Files)
- draai CrapCleaner om foutieve register settings te verwijderen
- draai Driver Cleaner PE (met de laatste updates) en selecteer alle ATi opties om te cleanen
- reboot Vista in de 640*480 resolutie (F8 tijdens opstarten)
- installeer drivers
- reboot

[denyos]

ik had zelf nog 7.1 geinstalleerd staan en gewoon upgrade gedaan. CCC start zonder problemen op.

Ik draai vista business edition 32bit

[two-one]

Yep, dit was voor mij de oplossing, dank je.

[bas1286]

Dit is vreemd, ik heb net geupdated naar 7.3 en mijn x1800xl die presteert ver onder de maat bij 3dmark05.

Eerst was mijn score rond de 7500pt, en nu rond de 4700pt.

Ik heb geen hardware veranderd in de tussentijd. Dus het probleem ligt waarschijnlijk aan de drivers.

Als ik kijk bij de project details op de Futuremark website, dan staat bij de Video Memory 256 MB. Maar eerst stond er Video Memory 512 MB bij de 7500pt.

Dus iemand een idee? Ik zal eerst ook eens 3dmark06 proberen.

edit:
Met 3dmark06 is de score ongeveer gelijk aan voor 7.3. Dus rond de 3100pt.

[geert1]

Heb je al enkele spellen geprobeerd? Als die ook minder vloeiend lopen weet je zeker dat deze driver niet geschikt is. Zou belachelijk zijn van ATi. Misschien is het alleen 3DMark05, dan valt het nog mee.

Misschien kun je bij de systeemeigenschappen en in het directX-diagnosescherm (uitvoeren -> dxdiag) bekijken of daar nog wel 512Mb geheugen wordt herkend. Zo niet, dan zou ik terug gaan naar 7.2.
