How do I find what catalyst am I using?

neokenzo · Nov 29, 2004, 07:24 PM

I'm trying to start a poll thread on a different forum on what catalyst people are using. I know what catalyst I am using but I cant seem to find anywhere it says Catalyst 4.12b or something like that? Where can I find it?

Thanks.

I know mate. Is there a page where I can go find what those numbers relate to?

Like my friend put 8.071. How do I find out what catalyst it is?

I've been trying to find this out for ages - no-one seems to know. In my case, the drivers came with my machine which had the card pre-installed. OEMs like this often seem to have a trimmed-down version of the Control Panel installed. My Dimension 4600 has a 9800 Pro but the CP has no Advanced Options, no SmartGART tab etc. I can find out the version numbers of individual files but not the overall Catalyst version.

As well as wanting to know what drivers I'm using, I'm worried about being able to rollback if I get performance issues - how can I do it if I don't know what version I'm using?
