amd drivers confusion
Hello all,
I'm a bit confused with the AMD drivers. Here are my system specs : Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P + Powercolor HD4890 + Windows 7 64RC. Here is my question : what drivers I have to install ? Catalyst (9-8_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu.exe) ? Or Catalyst + South Bridge (9-8_vista32-64_sb.exe) ? I thought the SB drivers were included in Catalyst but I am not sure. It's because I've got some problems with this mb : - I get some rare freezes after Windows 7 boot up sometimes (and I got some other freezes - maybe 2 or 3 in three months ! - when Windows was running - but never when using it) - I had to change my hard disk (Seagate 500GB 7200.12) with a new one (WD 500GB Caviar Black) because the Seagate got unrecoverable errors after some months, but after that I still got some freezes - I'm just wondering whether the disk was faulty or it has been caused by something else (I have changed the SATA cables too) - I have checked RAM (2x2GB DDR3 OCZ Gold 1333) and other devices but they seem to work fine... N.B. : my system is not overclocked. I only forced the ram to work at 667 (x2), and it does not work better at 533. And there is nothing interesting in the windows system event log... Thank you for your advices. Ash |

I have the same mainboard GA-MA790XT-UD4P with ATI HD4770 running fine under W7 RC64 with theses
drivers versions : - 9-7_vista64_win7_64_dd - 9-7_vista32-64_ccc_lang2 - 9-7_vista32-64_xcode - 9-7_vista32-64_hydravision Olivier |

I assume that dd+lang2 are the same that the complete Catalyst, except the languages. And hydravision should not be necessary for me. But what is the "xcode" driver ? I did a search on Google but very few answers, and no actual explanations. Btw, what are your memory sticks ? If they are faster than 1066, did you adjust something (CAS, Voltage) into the bios ? Thanks Ash |

I did a search on Google but very few answers, and no actual explanations. "xcode" is the Avivo (ATI Video In Video Out) package. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATI_Avivo. With a 4890 you'd ordinarily want: - the Catalyst suite ("dd_ccc_wdm"; includes the device driver, Catalyst and WDM; does not include any motherboard drivers) - the HDMI audio driver ("hdmiaudio"); requires the Microsoft UAA HDMI Audio Class Driver (KB888111) for XP SP2 and earlier - Avivo ("xcode") if you want to use the card's video capture functionality Hydravision is not necessary as Windows has included support for multi-monitors since Win98. |
