General Driver page at ATI.com



For the new series of cards, i.e. X1x00, this driver is supposed to offer great image quality in video playback.

It seems to help with gaming performance for older cards too.

So these drivers are supposed to help out X1x00 owners with video playback quality.

Can anyone tell if those of us with older VPU's get any benifit's as well?
Obviously, we don't have the hardware that the newer VPU's have, but maybe we get a little?

http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/85...sis/index.html shows that X700 gains quite a bit, especially at 1024x768 (see the pages with benchmarks). X550 there did not seem to gain any...

Because Acer is not supported by ATI

Use the mobliy modder from www.driverheaven.net and download the normal Catalyst 5.13

Judging from the fact that 5.13 is much better than 5.12 (I got 10 fps increament in NFS:MW), I guess I'll wait for the Omega 5.13 which I'm sure will be much better than Ati's own 5.13.
