12/28/2022 0 Comments Ride on ati 6550![]() Long story long, my buddy came over and before I swapped in the 9600xt, he wanted me to show him what it was doing since the x850xt was his as well and it had been working for him. So I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled pulled the card, put it back in, tried different driver versions and finally a friend of mine just said he'd give me a 9600xt to hold me over until Black Friday, when I will have saved some money and can look for some deals on a 4870 or some other such thing. I can't even begin to comprehend what's going on with this card now. Any suggestions on a good release? Looking at some early reviews of the card, it looks like people were running 5.4 or thereabouts. I'll go ahead and throw some old drivers on it this afternoon when I get home. Furthermore, the fact that I can get 720p and 1080p video to play with no artifacting or issues when the drivers are not installed, but see noise all over the place when they are makes me think I'm looking at a software issue. My friend was playing Crysis on low settings with no trouble whatsoever last week on this card. I'd agree that the behavior of the card suggests it's on the way out, but I literally plucked this from a 100% stable install a couple of days ago. I'm holding out for Black Friday to see what prices on the 4850X2 look like (if it's out by then), or maybe even the 4870X2, but in the mean time, I really want to play through Doom 3 again and I'd love to get this little guy into some action. This probably is a bit of a silly pursuit, but it's just bugging the heck out of me that I can't get it to work properly.
