B.Ob. Posted December 22, 2005 Share Posted December 22, 2005 Those just got releases a couple days ago. You might be thinking of the 5.12's. As I know PurSuiT put the 5.12's on his sytem. Also, there were stories regarding the 5.13's roughly a week before they came out on Anandtech and FiringSquad's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn stop making stuff up. I was just pointing out that you are slacking dude on your drivers and patches news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.Ob. Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 ATI Catalyst Drivers of 2005 - The Ultimate Analysis! "This is the most ultimate ATI Catalyst article ever to be published and we are going to show you why at the end of a lot of our reviews that revolve around ATI cards we put ATI DRIVER SUPPORT as a pro. We will see where that X850XT of yours was sitting in January and where it sits now as we quickly reach the end of 2005. What we can tell you is though it’s nice to write an intro to the Catalyst article that can be expanded from more then - another month has came and another set of Catalyst arrives in our inbox. This is an exciting article and it gives you an idea of why you buy an ATI product because they are behind you 100% with constant driver updates."

ParoxysM Posted December 26, 2005 Author Share Posted December 26, 2005 /me falls on floor... ParoxysM updated his drivers? There may be hope yet.... Not until the 30th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.Ob. Posted December 26, 2005 Share Posted December 26, 2005 I thought the best part of the 5.13 drivers, at least if you have a x1xxx series card, was the AVIVO acceleration. But is looks like you have to PAY for the ATI H.264 DxVA Decoder or use the trial version. Shame on ATI for not making this free for everyone!!! Even if nVidia is charging for PureVideo also, this was a chance for ATI to show they are better..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
