Increased pixel shader and vertex shader efficiency, with increased clipping optimizations
General performance enhancements
DHzer0point Color optimizations
Support for and increased performance noted with Crossfire configurations

Future Enhancements
Further Crossfire and Laptop optimizations
Optimizations for X1k series Video cards
Further resolutions up to 3840x1024 for Tri-screen configurations
Further overall performance and IQ optimizations.

Grab yours at www.driverheavendownloads.net and let us know your findings!

I would, but it hasn't updated yet

I hope I can install these though, for some reason I keep getting INF video driver errors with my X1800GTO. Only ones that do work are the Omega 6.3's. Official give the same error. It tells me to install some standard VGA driver or something

LHC · Apr 29, 2006, 10:35 PM

Awesome, these install

Can't wait to try them out, thanks!

PoopyTheJ · Apr 29, 2006, 10:47 PM

Glad to help

LHC · Apr 29, 2006, 11:06 PM

F.E.A.R. runs better noticably for me. On the test run it hardly ever dips into the less than 25 FPS range on Maximum settings. I can't wait to see how it's like after my card decides to overclock and all

Awesome release guys!

lpzml · Apr 30, 2006, 12:39 AM

thanks to your drivers i pwn face much faster

TrevGlas · Apr 30, 2006, 12:53 AM

Thanks for the release

TV addict#2 · Apr 30, 2006, 01:04 AM

gonna give these a test,thanks

Widkidone · Apr 30, 2006, 02:34 AM

i tried to install these but i was having issues installing them like i did with the NGO 6.4s. I cannot figure out the problem.

here were my steps:
1. Uninstall Cat 6.4 drivers and CCC
2. Reboot to safemode and run just the DriverCleaner ATI CCC and ATI without using the cab cleaner
3. reboot to desktop have windows serach for the drivers just this one time.
4. download and install drivers
5. then reboot and shows the new hardware found app.

**then tried again with using the cab cleaner and get the same problem

Go into Control Panel and remove everything related to ATi, NGO, zer0point and whatever driv er you have used so far. Then go into safe mode and choose to remove everything ATi related wuth Drivercleaner. After that boot into normal windows and install the drivers without letting Windows look for them.

AlexM105 · Apr 30, 2006, 03:08 AM

This set is definitely better than ATi's regular 6.4. FEAR performance went up quite a bit. I'll try more stuff later, but so far great work!

I did all that. then what happens is after i install and everything. It gives me this new hardware found. In the Device Manager i have this yellow "?" says unknown. So basically the same thing happen.

Adding on to what I said earlier.... Condemned (running on similar FEAR engine) also runs very well fully maxed, and BF2 rarely dropped under triple-digit frames (BF2 limits the frames at 100, so 98% of the time Fraps is stuck at 100.

The original 6.4 drivers stayed over 100 about 85% of the time).

lansi · Apr 30, 2006, 06:35 AM

Thanks! I tried it on my Acer X1400 and it works great. Playing around with the features now.

PoopyTheJ · Apr 30, 2006, 05:47 PM

Widkidone, can you post your Device ID so I can look through the installer recognition portions and see if there is an issue there?

edgewise · Apr 30, 2006, 07:40 PM

Hi, i have a doubt, if i decide to install the zer0point Control Panel, do i have to install zer0point CCC too? or i need to install Catalyst 6.4 and then zer0point CP?

what are the steps to follow? i wanna install zer0point without the CCC

peace out!

Robbeh · Apr 30, 2006, 07:55 PM

Tempted to give these a try, do they include a softmod for my 9500 non pro?

brownstonemr · Apr 30, 2006, 08:02 PM

Thanks for the new set. However I can't seem to get these drivers to keep the new clocks I have set. I had no probs with the standard ATI 6.4's and overclocking. With this set I have used radlinker, ATT, and ATI Tool. Every time I enter into a game the clocks return straight to default.

Any ideas?

Thx!

I had same problem. Go to ATI.com and download the WDM drivers should fix it.

Widkidone · Apr 30, 2006, 08:19 PM

PoopyTheJ sent you a PM.

Emm0rtal i tried to install the DHzeroPoint 6.4 without the WDM drivers that came with the drivers and got the same problem. Now as for finding the Device ID, help her where do i go.

PoopyTheJ · Apr 30, 2006, 08:42 PM

Edgewise, install the DHzer0point drivers, at the end of the DHzp installer you'll see three choices, drivers, CCC and WDM just don't choose the CCC and then grab the CP from DHdownloads and install it after driver installation.

brownstonemr, I'm not sure why the drivers would give you a problem with overclocking, we wouldn't change anything having to do with clock rates, we don't want to damage anyones card. If you didn't uninstall the old drivers and run Driver cleaner in safe mode to get rid of the vestiges of what was there it could be causing a confilct.

edgewise · Apr 30, 2006, 08:52 PM

thanks Poopy!

Widkidone · Apr 30, 2006, 08:52 PM

i sent you the numbers in the PM

brownstonemr · Apr 30, 2006, 09:13 PM

Yeah I used drivercleaner so im not sure what the problem is then. Ohwell thx anyways.

Curious142 · May 1, 2006, 02:41 AM

When I try to install DHzer0point0.64 drivers (after following the recommended procedure to get rid of the old drivers) I get the message that "Setup will only run in Administrator mode. Setup is aborting". I'm the system administrator and my system administrator account is the only account on my machine. I may have to go back to 6.3 (which installed without any problems) unless someone can show me the light here. Thanks for any help.

Lchevy79 · May 1, 2006, 04:23 AM

ok dude with the x850xt install drivers, reboot then run installer agian hit custom install only wdm drivers reboot i got the same deal

Curious142 · May 1, 2006, 05:54 AM

I couldn't re-install the DHzer0-6.3 drivers after I couldn't install the DH-6.4 drivers. So I tried the 6.3 Omega drivers. After it looked like they had installed it turned out that they hadn't really installed. I think that what I ended up with was a mix of DH and Omega. What a mess. I don't know if it's my machine or the drivers that are messed up. However, I did install the DH-6.3 without any problem at one time -- so it's probably something about my windows (WinXP pro sp2) that's become messed up since then. Maybe WinVista will be better.

Mo0nRaKeR · May 1, 2006, 08:46 AM

Ok, so ive tried the last few releases and i've been pleased with them, but this newest set has some issues for me with textures. Here's what I mean:

The same thing is happening in Ghost Recon: AW, Guild Wars, but not in WOW. I'll be testing other games to see if they're getting the corruption too. any suggestions would be great.

I have uninstalled the previous drivers, used driver cleaner to clean all files, and installed normal and wdm drivers. I didnt see any issues during the install process.

X1800XTTOP · May 1, 2006, 08:58 AM

Have you made sure texture qulaity/mipmap in the Catalyst Control Center is set to "high quality" or "quality"?
