.............................. ATI - Radeon
Logo and Trademark..............................
ATI Radeon is a brand of graphics processing units (GPU) that has been manufactured by ATI Technologies since 2000 and the successor to their Rage line. There are four different groups, which can be differentiated by the DirectX generation they support. More specific distinctions can also be followed, such as the HyperZ version, the number of pixel pipelines, and of course, the memory and processor clock speeds.
Reports has that since the release of the Radeon HD 3000 series products, previous PRO, XT, GT, and XTX suffixes will be elimiated, products will be differentiated by changing the last two digits of the product model number (for instance, HD 3850 and HD 3870, giving the impression that the HD 3870 model having higher performance than HD 3850). Similar changes to the IGP naming were spotted as well, for the AMD M690T chipset with side-port memory, the IGP is named "Radeon X1270", while for the AMD 690G chipset, the IGP is named "Radeon X1250", as for AMD 690V chipset, the IGP is clocked lower and having less functions and thus named "Radeon X1200".
The ATI Radeon graphics driver package for Windows operating system is called ATI Catalyst. The Catalyst software was instituted after the release of the Radeon 8500. This new driver development paradigm at ATI promised monthly driver updates which included performance enhancements, bug fixes, and new features. As of 2006, the Catalyst driver package typically included ATI Catalyst Control Center; an interface for manipulating many of the hardware's functions within Windows XP, such as 3D settings, monitor controls, video options, among other things. It also offered a small 3D preview, allowing the user to see how changes to the graphics settings affected the quality of the rendered image. The old control panel interface (within Windows' Display Properties) was previously a fall-back option, but that has been discontinued as of Catalyst 5.13. The Catalyst package can be downloaded in pieces as well, for non-broadband users. For example, the display driver can be downloaded alone, separated from the Catalyst Control Center and WDM VIVO drivers. The day that Microsoft Vista launched, ATI provided a Microsoft certified Catalyst driver referenced as Catalyst 7.1
There are also unofficial drivers available such as the Omega drivers or DNA drivers, claiming to boost performance when compared to the official Catalyst. These drivers typically consist of mixtures of various driver file versions with some registry variables altered and potentially offer superior performance or quality. They are, of course, unsupported, and as such are not guaranteed to function correctly or quantitatively improve functionality (placebo effect). Some of them also provide modified or patched DLL files for hardware enthusiasts to modify their cards (as 9500non-pro and 9500Pro use the same chips, and 9800SE and 9800 use the same chips, some of them can be modified by activating all 8 pixel pipelines).
Windows XP Professional x64: ATI has yet to produce mobile 64 bit drivers for the Windows XP Professional x64 Edition operating system. This may be due to a number of factors. One factor is that most people use the 32-bit version of Windows XP, due not only to video card driver issues, but other driver compatibility issues as well. Nonetheless, it is possible to obtain a proper driver for this type of setup. In order to do so, one requires the use of an unsupported application: ModtoolV4 which can be found here. ModtoolV4 is a 3rd party utility which modifies recent desktop Radeon drivers to work with Mobility Radeon graphics cards (works with Catalyst Control Centre 7.3 - not working with 7.4). Thus, one can download the 64-bit Radeon Catalyst Control Center from ATI's website - running the install program and cancelling the operation is followed by running ModtoolV4 and selecting the folder where the Catalyst Control Center and driver were extracted. After execution, the setup for the driver and Catalyst Control Center occurs automatically.
