ATI Nforce 4 hotfix?

[elbarto]

Hey guys,
I just got a Sapphire Radeon x1900xtx (for $399 btw, open box at the egg.) and I have been getting some lockups when running games and randomly in the OS. Now I see this hotfix posted by ATI for nforce 4 platforms (the file is called ati_nforce4_hotfix_certified.exe)
ATI appearently does not support this driver or app whatever it is so it must be 3rd party.
Can anyone tell me what this is? is it a driver or just what is says, a hotfix?
There is nothing more listed on the ATI webpage about it and I want to know more about this possible fix.

What graphics card did you have previously and what PSU do you have. the PSU may not be enough for the new card.

How about a link to the hotfix!

Before I was running dual 7600 GT's and I have an antec 550w psu.
Linkage [fixed]


Should have never gone with nvidia in the first place.

I don't think the your link works.

Does it have anything to do with this?

No, that was a different problem. <EDIT> it might be the same problem. The link on their support page points to the same problem page....strange.

Try this link for the download:

Did you connect the floppy 12v power connector that sits above the PCI Express slots?

It's the complete driver package with ccc, it's a never version then the 6.5 cats

this one - 8.253-060510a1
6.5 - 8.252-060503a

That would explain the 64 MB's size.

Any idea if the regular OLD control panel is in there? I wont use CCC. Im on 6.3 as the FireMX 6.3 release with old CP was the last that came with the CP.

I do have the described of HANG in FarCry.

oh yeah you cant lol

 

[Sipster]

Does anyone have any feedback on these drivers???

 

[ScYcS]

I'm running them for the last 3 days. Haven't found any difference in games, stability or quality yet. They sure don't hurt.

yay S754. most likely a conflict with the nividia and ati drivers. when i put a 6600GT in my friends e-machine with the ati chipset, it was being a bitch, not in drivers but the retarded bios. some cussing and tweaking got it workin
