Identity Crisis
Hello folks!
Not a problem just a question. I have a 9700Pro not made by ATI, can't remember the actual manufacturer, and it was from the New Egg refurb offerings. Have had it for many months now but recently there is an odd development! Any software, including the CAT drivers see the card as a 9700Pro which sounds correct. However, after loading the drivers the display simply becomes slooooooow. Windows will openly both slowly and start out very dim then eventually get to there normal graphic representation. Some windows (for example IE) will open from top to bottom kind of like in the old days with a 2400 baud modem but of course not that slowly. The corrective action is to update the drivers to the ones for a 9800Pro! Once this is done the video again becomes very snappy and there are no issues with opening any program including IE. This is not a major problem as I know how to get things working. However , rather a curiosity as to why this has developed? I have used several versions of CAT drivers and several versions of Omega Drivers with the same outcome. Just wondering if anyone has heard of or seen this behavior. Thanks for any input! Len |

I usualy see this kind of behaviour from my BB ATI 9700PRO when I update to any new set of Omega's drivers.But it only happens the first time I power up the system,after that eveything is perfectly normal. btw.what do you mean by 'drivers for the 9800PRO'? ATI has the Catalyst suite that is made for ALL of the Radeon models,not for any model in particular. |
