Anarchy Online - Best MMORPG - Still alive - Soon with new graphics engine :-D

Hi!

Today i received my new graphicscard: HIS HD 3850 IceQ AGP 512

I downloaded the latest Catalyst drivers ( 8.9 ) from ATI but they wont install.

I found out that the normal Catalyst drivers wont work with AGP-cards, so i have to use a so called hotfix or the HIS Drivers (but they are not based on Catalyst 8.9).

Does anyone have the same Graphicscard? What would your recommend?

Thanks for your help!

Forum Poll

Which drivers to use?

Original ATI Catalyst with hotfix
HIS drivers
other?

Its not really a hotfix but an older driver.  AMD stopped supporting AGP at some point and those were the last drivers they developed for it.  That one still will probably be the best drivers you can get for your card.

from the HIS website, if it doesnt work then I dont know, have you got net framework installed ? I dont think it matters anyway cos you cant install the driver without it, not sure, I cant remember now

 Hmm... i think you got me wrong. I dont have a problem finding a working driver.

 

I would just like to know which of the available drivers is the best (most stable)...
