fucking ATI

Download older drives?

I had the same problem but i have a Fx 5200 Ultra card.

Everything was okay until "Steam" said that i have to update my drivers.

I did it but you know what happened with my hammer editor? All my props turned into pitch black, i deleted the new drivers and installed the old back.

i love my nvidia 6800 the ATI drivers always seemed buggy as early as the Rage 3D chipset

Crazy shit happened to my computer updating from 5.4 to 5.5, I don't know why. It ran like absolute shit, reallllly slowly. I installed the 5.6s today, and its back to normal.

You can't blame the drivers by their own right, it is so much about the setup you are sitting on, the OS, service packs, game patches, hardware and their patches.

Along the years ATI has really improved their drivers by miles and at the current, I think ATI drivers are better than nVidia drivers judging by reading the change lists and hardware forums.

Granted, every now and then some minor glitches come up like the Mafia glitches back when Mafia was released. But apart from that, I haven't heard of any bigger problems in either companys drivers.

i have had that black welcome screen thing before when the installer for the drivers fucked off in the middle of the install. Had to uninstall and reinstall like 50000 times but it worked after a while.
