Radeon X300 Drivers??

Postby TSC. » Sun Dec 04, 2005 8:27 am

Hi all,

Recently my FS9 seems to have gone downhill in the scenery department & I was wandering if maybe I needed to update my video card drivers (I have never done it).

I have a Radeon X300 video card.

My question is, where do I get the latest drivers from? how do I know which ones are the newest? & how do I go about backing up my old drivers first & then re-installing new drivers??

Yeah - you guessed it - I haven't got a clue where to start!!

Cheers,

TSC.

Two sites that you'll need

http://www.ati.com

and

http://www.drivercleaner.net/

ATI for the drivers and Driver Cleaner for getting rid of the old drivers properly. Follow the instructions for both.

I have the link for the latest official ATI drivers in my sig.  They are called Catalyst drivers.  Currently version 5.11 but 5.12 should be out soon! ;)

You will need the control panel and graphics drivers atleast.  Make sure you remove the old ones before you install the new ones.  I don't recommend the Catalyst control centre, just the graphics drivers and control panel are the best.
