What's wrong with the 4.5 Cat's???

[Mrstickinit]

I just installed the 4.5 Catalyst drivers including the patch (directpll.dll) that correctly identifies the core/memory clock speeds with the X800Pro. The problem is that I cannot publish the project to the ORB because it is telling me that the 4.5 Catalysts's are not Futuremark Approved drivers........ what gives here? I thought that the 4.5's were approved drivers...... any help?

BTW.... My score was 10,401 3DMarks. :D

um...





you can publish the project, hence its published. :confused:

i think what your TRYING to ask is why is it saying they arnt approved drivers, and the answer to that is futuremark hasnt approved them yet.

Ummm, according to Futuremarks website, they are approved drivers for the X800Pro.

Yeah, I did ask the question wrong. :p:

:p: heh oh i see... maybe the drivers are approved for older cards but 3dmark isnt 100% familiar with these cards yet, or something along those lines.

Maybe, here's a quote from Futuremark's site....

"We have inspected all offical ATI WHQL drivers through May 13th, 2004. Listed below are the latest official drivers that have been approved for 3DMark03 usage:

» ATI Catalyst 4.5 Drivers - WinXP

» ATI Catalyst 4.5 Drivers - Win2000

» ATI Catalyst 4.3 Drivers - WinME

» ATI Catalyst 3.9, 3.10, 4.1, 4.2 4.3 & 4.4 Drivers - WinXP

» ATI Catalyst 3.9, 3.10, 4.1, 4.2 4.3 & 4.4 Drivers - Win2000

» ATI Catalyst 3.9, 3.10, 4.1 & 4.2 Drivers - WinME"


"Notes: The ATI Catalyst 3.9, Catalyst 3.10, Catalyst 4.1, Catalyst 4.2, Catalyst 4.3, Catalyst 4.4 & Catalyst 4.5 Drivers have been tested with the X800 Series, 9x00 series and 8x00 series. Microsoft no longer accepts certification submissions for the WinME operating system. The Catalyst 4.3 Driver is the latest WHQL WinME Driver for the Radeon Series. Please also note that in order to run 3DMark03 Build 340 with the ATI X800 Series & ATI Catalyst 4.5 drivers, you need an updated version of the Entech "Direcpll.dll" file.

Hmmmm, they seem to be working now....... I had sent Futuremark an email to their support dept. and I guess they fixed it because other 4.5 projects are showing up now....
