Sticking to its announcement, AMD released the ATI Catalyst 10.4a Preview driver suite. In the run up to Catalyst 10.4, the company wanted to quickly resolve an important issue pertaining to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 game load times, which made it release a series of preview drivers, starting with Catalyst 10.4 Preview which resolved the issue for ATI Radeon HD 5000 series GPUs, and now the Catalyst 10.4a Preview, which resolves it for ATI Radeon HD 4000, HD 3000, HD 2000 series GPUs. With this hotfix applied, users will experience reduced map game load times on Bad Company 2. Catalyst 10.4 WHQL will be released later this month.

erockerThat's not really on topic, but Nvidia releases drivers when they are ready.

If you have an older video card, use a driver that works. I'm still using Catalyst 7.4 on one of my machines.
I was just asking as i didnt want to make a topic for the question.

My 9200SE works just fine on some old driver from about 2006, the 7900GS is churning on last years drivers.

the54thvoidI'm about as techie as a wet sponge but i read a lot and did read somewhere that adobe photoshop is/has leant toward CUDA for it's software. This would maybe mean less than optimum performance for the ATI cards?
Musselsthats for CS5
leonard_222003Use an older driver , i found that when AMD updated the opengl to 4.0 i lost hardware acceleration with adobe and pinnacle , maybe we should wait for a patch from adobe before using catalyst 10.3 or 10.4.
Ok I'm not trying to be a jerk but all of you are wrong.

A: CS5 Photoshop uses OpenGL 2.0 not CUDA. CUDA support is only for CS5 Premier.

B: Yes ATI updated its drivers so the GPU would support OpenGL 4.0 that is correct. However Photoshop only supports 2.0 which has caused a lot of bugs. I have been waiting for Adobe to patch CS4 for months to no avail. The bottom line is its an Adobe problem. Not ATI.

All I can say is Adobe hasn't been supporting CS4 as they did with prior versions and because of this I won't be getting CS5 anytime soon. That and it offers nothing really new.

i hope they dont put it from 4.0 to 3.2, 3.2 isnt beter then 4.0 and on the 4.0 u get more things. meh why are some gpu/cpu companys playing with all these numbers and chips. is there something wrong with the piece that they have been build? whe are still around in the crises time. i hope that everything is gonna be normal as it should be.
