Download Driver For ATi Catalyst 3.0 Update

ATi has released an update for version 3.0 of its Catalyst driver package. In the update, a number of bugs are squashed and a number of features have been added. For example, there is now WHQL support for the entire Radeon line, where previously only the 9700 and 9500 had this. ATi recommends that you only upgrade if you experience any of the issues below, but given the reasonable amount of bug fixes, a large number of people – especially when running OpenGL applications – will benefit from these drivers:

• RADEON™ 9700 / RADEON™ 9500 Series – OpenGL based games stutter after installing wxp-w2k-r9700-7-81-021213a-006924C.exe driver download package.
• Running the games Zanzarah or Star Trek-Amada II at 1024×767 32bpp with Anti Aliasing enabled at 6x no longer results in a black screen display
• Selecting single player mode in Heavy Gear 2 has no longer results in display corruption when using the RADEON™ 9700 under Windows XP
• Display corruption is no longer seen around the start button when using the RADEON™ 8500 under Windows XP
• Running the game Serious Sam Second Encounter when using the RADEON™ 7000 under Windows XP, no longer results in a system hang when the display is set to a resolution of 1024×768 or higher
• Playing Quake3 at high quality setting would result in display corruption when firing a weapon. This issue occurred when using the RADEON™ 7500 under Windows XP
• After installing the display driver, the system no longer detects a standard TV instead of an HDTV
• Running the CyberLink PowerDVD application and moving the display window around either the Windows XP or 2000 desktop no longer results in a system hang
• Playing a DVD under the ATI MultiMedia center in a Windows XP operating system with the All-in-Wonder™ 9700 PRO no longer results in low audio output
• Running ShadowBane under a Windows XP system with a RADEON™ 9700 card installed no longer results in the log-in screen appearing as white blocks
