Can anyone recommend a driver for an ATI 4870?

Pretty much what it says on the tin.

I've been running Oolite with the original drivers (8.573.0.0) and thought that something was amiss. Sure enough, after updating them (to 8.69.0.0) all of the spiffy nebulas and such which I'd been without made an appearance. However, I noticed that a nearby constore had lost its texturing.

I'm looking for a driver that gives me my cake and lets me eat it. Anyone got the same card? If so I'd be interested to hear what drivers you're using.

Thanks in advance!

Hi VenlyssPnorr.

Which CCC version? I've found that 9.10 works best.

See this thread:

Hey El Viejo,

Bizzarely enough I had to un-install CCC as it kept reporting errors during installation. The original version was fine, only when I tried to update the package today did I get any issues.

Thanks for pointing out the post in the link, I will try to hunt down a 9.10 and see if I get any joy.

You usually have to do a complete uninstall of the previous CCC.
The ATI site has older versions inc 9.10

Already installed 9.10. That's done the trick. Nebulae and the proper textures on the constores.

Nice. Thanks for the pointers!
