bravo 6 0 Posted July 24, 2009 hi, i just tried to download the new driver but i have this message: Unauthorized Download We're sorry, but this download request cannot be authorized. As an option, you may visit any of the pages below for information about our services and products: Download Drivers & Software Latest drivers and software for ATI graphics products. It directs me to an AMD Graphics Drivers & Software, but the available version is 9-3_1_legacy_xp32-64_dd_ccc.exe which is outdated. Is the version 9.7 still available? edit: ARF, i just tried again and it work now. Go figure.. :\ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

choC 10 Posted July 24, 2009 Cool, I have just copied an MP3 from one place to another and now believe my ArmA 2 has improved. I get the same results in ArmA Mark II but it feels better. Not sure if this works for you but I also suggest facing the PC to the east to see if that also helps. :rolleyes: Read No sir I updated from the 9.6 drivers!!!!!!!!! When did I say I was using the beta drivers where???? :rolleyes: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your valued contribution, not sure what you added but thanks for posting, it really helps. Not really into the sims but I am guessing you are seasoned player and are asking me on a date in some kiddy slang ? Well, sorry but no thank you, I am flattered though. choC, you are posting my reply to my post, why put it again in the same order, oh and look the original was updated today when my original post was last night a 9pm, Miss Marple would be saddened by your lack of observation.

kklownboy 43 Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Easy to misread isn't it ? ... So does he use XP or win7, or even vista? the drivers are different with vista and win7.. but you didnt go there? Maybe you need to take some comprehension classes... PS no i didnt change it because you quoted me, Boy you are a narcissists... i changed it cause i was to personal with my post. And what i contributed to the thread is One; you cant read , and two; the 9.7s seem the same as the 9.6s, in XP64 vista64 and win7, they all run great on my kit. with steam, .DE and 505. that would be three OSes, and three different copys of the game. If your maths are any good then you will see i tested nine different setups... cheers Ahh then there's your typical spam and crapping.. never any real substance in anything you post anymore...

mr.g-c 6 Posted July 24, 2009 I have just installed 9.7 and i rather have a little performance decrease over the previous release. Can't explain it, its around 1-3 frames less on identical settings/mission, which sounds not like "much", but in this game it is much and can make the difference between a fluid gameplay and a bit more stuttering...

thr0tt 12 Posted July 24, 2009 Indeed, any improvements or loss is just a bi-product of the drivers which is a shame, if only BI had the foresight to communicate with AMD/ATI prior to release, imagine what they could have acheived together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
choC 10 Posted July 24, 2009 Well I think they're running better than the 9.6's. I can actually play the game with high/very high settings now without significant frame dips in forests etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
novafluxx 10 Posted July 25, 2009 The way you're attacking everyone sure makes it obvious who "da kids" are. I updated from 9.6 myself, and also added some switches to the game at the same time. I'm noticing increased performance, however, I'm not sure if its related to the driver update or the switch I used to make it use all of my memory.

ShaiCZ 10 Posted July 25, 2009 Running the game on XP, I noticed a slight increase in performance and better loading time of textures (no more blurry trees and bushes). However, "silver" heads and disappearing helmets still remain. I played it for only a while, cannot assess what the game would do in a city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ModeZt 0 Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) Updated from 9.7beta to 9.7 Noticable FPS increase. Arma-Mark score jumped from 2850 to 3150!

I guess you put that in for me to respond to you ? Well, ok then, good that you have updated from 9.6 and you may or may not have performance increases that may or may not be due to this or another switch you used, real nice. XP user myself, had the leaked XP drivers that are the same at the official released ones. Not checked the Win7 or Vista ones so who knows the performance may be there. I am glad that BI are let off the hook with the brilliant performing game ArmA 2, I for one say they should delay any patch release and wait for the drivers to hopefully give perfromance increases so they can concentrate on ArmA 3, maybe the hardware will catch up to out perform it.
