Is your driver obedient? On ATI Graphics driver optimization

A little understanding of the graphics card friends will not unfamiliar ATI graphics card. In the past, ATI graphics card by virtue of its excellent video playback ability and excellent coloring rendering ability to capture the hearts of many DIY enthusiasts, and even netizens will be the ATI video card called a real graphics card. Prior to the launch of DX10, Nvidia had been leading other rivals on a higher GPU core frequency, whether it was 3D theory test software or game testing, Nvidia was always faster than ATI, but ATI was better at video playback and screen coloring than NVIDIA, So that it won the favor of many DIY enthusiasts. Unlike Nvidia, ATI is not only a manufacturer of GPU, but also a manufacturer focused on the production of video equipment, perhaps this is one of the reasons why ATI has a good video playback effect.

In recent time, ATI has continuously released two new RV670 chips using the latest Radeon HD3870 and Radeon HD3850 graphics, which Radeon HD3850 with very high performance and relatively very low price has received great attention, can be said, HDREADON3850 is a video card that is expected by a DIY player following Readon9550. "A rice n rice to pk!88gt and 3850 to see who more cost-effective" after the introduction of the new graphics card manufacturers must introduce a new driver with it. For ATI-driven comments, both praise and derogatory, can be regarded as mixed. is the ATI drive really so hard to tame? Not also, see the author how to train ATI graphics driver.

Standard ATI-driven installation sequence

Many friends in the use of ATI Control Center will always appear such or such a problem, such as the inability to start control center, run-time errors, and so on, in fact, these errors or flaws are largely due to our most basic steps do not do a good job, the author in the trial of a brand 2600XT graphics card, The window dragged with a residual shadow, the last found or because the graphics driver did not follow the correct steps to install the resulting.

ATI drivers have always been controversial, a powder and n powder in various major forums of mutual controversy is commonplace. Due to the complexity of the installation process, the need to install more software, become a lot of n powder (nvidia loyal fans) claimed ATI than Nvidia bad important "evidence", but also because the ATI driver installation failed and then spurned ATI to the NVIDIA. Is it really difficult for ATI drivers to install? You follow the author, let the author Step-by-Step detailed ATI driver installation. Before making a new driver installation, we strongly recommend that the user remove the original ATI driver from the Control Panel before reinstalling the new driver.

There are two options for installing an ATI drive:

One, the law of Aboveboard. Required tools: Video card with the driver installation CD attached to the card.

This is also the most orthodox, the most difficult way to problem, as long as the instructions are installed. What if I have a problem? That's certainly the technical support for this graphics card.

Ii. the law of self-reliance

If you don't have a graphics driver on hand or some reason why you can't install the driver in the first way, you'll have to install the ATI driver yourself gradually.

First, we go to some large it Web sites to download drivers.

Some websites will also launch some so-called "accelerated drivers" for users to download. For these acceleration drivers, the author suggests that the novice should not try easily. Although these drivers have been installed in performance and speed to a certain extent, but for this part of the user, this means that the system has increased the probability of problems, not to mention this kind of acceleration drive is modified the original driver, compatibility and stability no one can guarantee. For some with a certain hardware base and drivers, this type of drive is more suitable for them to download and use.

After downloading the driver, does it feel that something is missing? Well, that's right. Online drivers are often purely driven, with no ATI control center and other components, and friends who need to download such software online. Before installing the ATI Drive Center, you must install the ATI driver-specified software--net Framework2.0. If the drive control center is installed without the software installed, it is not possible to start the control center normally. NET Framework2.0 is not what mysterious software, each big it website has this software to download. Now the NET Framework has been updated to version 3.5, the need for friends as long as the search engine type "NET framework" for the keyword search can be.

Cannot start control center without installing NET Framework

program installation has successively, novice users in the manual installation ATI program, must pay attention to each program installation successively. For the ATI control Center, it is necessary to install a good net Framework2.0 to start the control center, on the contrary, even if the first installed control center reload net Framework2.0 may also appear can not start driving control center or other errors, you should pay attention to this.
