Also can install in windows 7 x64 mode if u chose f8 at start up and start without driver signatures. u can use 64bit driver on 7 and works.
These are Cat 9.7 rc3 (8.63) drivers.
Just to let everyone know, the 9.7 drivers are WHQL
Driver Version 6.14.10.6973
Driver Details 8.63-090610a-082777E-ATI
Driver Date 6-10-2009
Driver WHQL Certified true
worth the shot.

Maybe i'm wrong. But why did you put in localVRAM "134217728" when a giga=1.073.741.824 byteDid you get better performance?
In my config autodetect says "localVRAM=1063939968" (i have 1 giga videomemory 4870x2);
Cheers

Thank you very much worked a charm still got this FPS problem though i just want to be able to play above 30 on normalturn off AA in options, put that to disabled.

turn off post processing in gfx options, set to disable.

Same problem here mate! soon as i turn on AA the games FPS cripples! its horrible. and im on Q6600 8GB ram 1GB 4890 and Win7 x64 , 9.6 cata drivers.
Though ive did a bit of tweaking and game is running at 60 fps in open areas and around 30/40fps in cities and the woods.

Note i didnt actully see much change in fps when changing terrain detail
also changed in the arma2 config file the vram to 1073741824 in that file as it kept setting it to 2gb.. but only 1gb on that card.
ENABLE Catalyst AI and set it to high in the catalyst control centre.
Change 'soundEnableHW' to '1' in your profile file to enable hardware audio playback for compatible cards like Creative XFi & Asus Xonar.
Change 'soundEnableEAX' to '0' in your profile file to disable EAX effects
Disable ATi HDMI sound devices in device manager.
Same thing with the player profile, where you put "sceneComplexity" except its named "loginname.arma2profile"
Go to the bottom, and if you don't see "sceneComplexity=" then add it. For instance, mine is
Code:
sceneComplexity=160000;
and its made a great difference to me, so might help you there mate.

post processing in graphic options = disabled and no more blur.

I also noticed this from time to time but since the updated 1.02 patch i aint had any more of this issue :)

Yep 4890 user here and without me using the -winxp command, i get gfx corruption everywhere :( though i am on the 8gig issue i think lol
But i did expect better performance in this game , fps drops and jumps if its random at times. 9.6 drivers here on Win7 x64 Q6600.

Installed the 1.02.58134 patch, deleted my old ArmA2.cfg, removed the -winxp Parameter from my Shortcut aaand the Problem is still the same.The VRAM parts from the 1.02.58134 generated ArmA2.cfg and 8GB RAM:
localVRAM=3768256;
nonlocalVRAM=3768256;
The VRAM Parts with the -winxp Parameter and 8GB RAM (no Problem):
localVRAM=2140766144;
nonlocalVRAM=2140766144;
The VRAM Parts with 4GB RAM (msconfig, no Problem):
localVRAM=1068449792;
nonlocalVRAM=1475870720;
Same here mate :(

Installed on Win7 x64 Build 7137.
It had said patch already applied but when clicked ok and went into game, i was able to now select AA option.
However..... the 8gb issue isnt fixed. I still have to put the command -winxp to have the graphics work in this game. If i dont, its just all blocks. :( this isnt good at all :(
ATI 4890, Q6600, 8GB, 9.6 Cat Drivers.

no matter what setting i put it on, very high - low etc, when i look at config file, it always puts it back to 2gb lol yet only 1 gb on the card! its very strange issue.
