What ATI drivers are best please?
-
ohh 14.4 they aint that old are they?
Thanks will install them tomorrow
-
14.4 are the latest drivers.
-
just looked on the AMD site and when i input me card etc it only shows me 13.9 drivers?
I see 14.4 but will they work with my card if so why dont I get shown 14.4 when i input my card on there site using the drop down box ?
-
Hmmm. Maybe they stopped updating for the 4xxx series. You could try downloading their autodetect driver installer and see what it comes up with.
-
ummm ok will see tomorrow
I am on some older 13 driver so if the only ones I have are 13.9 left to try will give em a go thanks
-
13.9 worked really well for me like I said. So if 14.4 is not an option then 13.9 will still do nicely. At least in my experience. I’m using a 6970 2gig though.
-
If you use only BMS you can use the Driver that works. No Need for the latest Version every time. BMS is not a game Drivers are made for…. they are written for other Mainstream games.
-
thanks for the input will try 13.9 tomorrow as I cant see 14.4 working.
-
Avoid 13.12 at all costs though.
Looks at driver version
“13.12” “F%$#!”
Downloads 14.4 -
keep us posted Fred do a comparison if you dont mind FPS with 13.12 and then 14.4 would be interesting not that I can use 14.4 but still may help others

Downloads 14.4Haw! In my personal experience 13.12 caused a 10% to 30% frame loss in BMS.

Will be interesting to see if Fred gets an increase in FPS.
I am only playing BMS at the moment so would roll back to some real old drivers if I knew I would get more FPS at the moment I drop 10 when TGP is on and can drop me to as low as 21 FPS
-
I turned off textured TV/IR within the game and it dramatically helped my frame loss with TGP. And I honestly do not notice a quality difference.
-
really well I will test this now thanks
Report back in a few
-
nope made no diff
Started at 35
turned on TGP and got 23 with and without texture tv/ir
I have played with a few options I noticed with a lot of them off I get the opposite instead of getting more FPS I get less how that works I have no idea.
-
I pretty much turn off all eye candy. No cockpit shadows, no HDR, I force 12x edge detect AA in CCC, I force 16x AF and turn them off in game. I turn off all shadows and all other options… I turn off both shader options but leave shaders checked (This made the biggest difference). I use reduced particles and low clouds.
And honestly… Maybe I’m just getting old and blind… But I do not notice a huge difference in the GFX.
With VSYNC on I RARELY dip below 60. On the maverick TE with mav camera use I may dip to 40fps.
-
I can also confirm that the Catalyst 13.9 are very stable and quick (no fps loss) driver!
Stay there mate (stk2008 ) since you can’t have the 14.4.
Nikos. -
yep installed 13.9 and got a few more FPS not as much as I hoped but about 3-5 FPS
-
Went from 13.12 to 14.4 and went from 34 FPS to maybe 34.5. Hey, 0.5 fps!
