Anyone got ATI drivers archived?

[Sirex]

Looking for older drivers...

oh say 7 series...
Yes from back before cod4 was released.

ATM i'm having some strange issues funny enough only when playing cod4 or similar weighted games...
I've emimated the card itself... least what I can do anyway..
Its not anything else, so I want to try see if its the drivers...

Funny enough, only appeared when i updated to another set,

But atm I got a few 8 series ones.
Needing ones pre june 7 series... ones just before cod4 would be good XD
If anyone has them?

I have some 8 series i think but no 7. have you tried any of the 9.x series? 9.2 is the best ever driver for my 3450.

edit: Not sure where i've put my drivers.

Here's a useful link where i get my old drivers from.

Tired all the 9.x ones, still the same issues.

Card was ok before i updated the drivers for HL2 EP2... I think it was.
And i think i was running 8.x back then...
I downloaded 8.11 and 7.9 just incase, gonna try them both...


Attached pics are

1: after it starts
2: before it and after i alt tab back in and out of the game

Once it has started that (1) with
9.3 the drivers reset every 3-4 mins
9.1/2 5-10mins

Card is not running too hot, checked and monitored the temps.
Its clean, theres no sign of damage, and well its fine in DOD and a few of my other games.
Just COD4 and i've seen it in Command and Conquer 3

[Sirex]

well i dont get the crazy walls things on 7.9...
But i do get game crashes (Directx file access error ones, not VPU dying)

so gonna try 8.6 later on see how that goes...

ok found out i was using 8.7 before jan there...
Installed those, and still getting crashing, no spikes or funny renders thou...

So card worn out?

I would do a fresh install Sirex. Rule out it being anything else. Did you update all the things i told you to?

[Sirex]

If you mean totally cleaning out the drivers, yup did that, made sure no ATI traces where left.

If you mean windows... NO! lmao
I just did that sat, i spent all day sunday putting things back...

Not doing that again lmao

Updated all the things you said, just appears like the card is overloading, know what i mean.
Like its getting too much to do and going No chance and fakes a faint...

I'll dig through my cd spool and see what i got..

[Sirex]

It ok Mapes, i've decided the card has passed its prime...
Shame, cos it does well for its age, still pumps out cod4 on high settings at 70fps at 1440x900...

Gonna just get a new card next month, call it the start of an upgrade to a new system XD

[mapes]

Man it's not a problem really I do have a bunch of old disks...I'd even mail it too you..
