ATI Radeon 7000 grafic driver
Posted by admin on Mar 16th, 2007
Anybody running a ATI Mobility Radeon 7000 on Vista?Rumors have it that ATI might not produce Vistadrivers for this grafic card that I have in my IBM X31 Thinkpad atleast I can't seem to find any news about possible coming releases on either ATI/AMD or IBM/Lenovo. So, is there any of you out there who knows of a driver that I might use instead of the standard Microsoft VGAdriver, that Vista uses which won't allow me to view full screen TV nor play games or the like.Thanks in advance, Rune

"runeb" produce one, the reason being that i doubt the 7000 passed MS Vista test, due to limited RAM etc, so MS will not verify any driver for it.

Yeah this totally sucks. I had an nVidia graphics card which burned up so I ended up getting this ATI Radeon 7000 series which probably wont have drivers made for it, that's lame and retarded.EggHeadCafe.com .NET Developer Portal of Choice eggheadcafe.com

The 7000 series is a 6 year old, if not more, video card. Vista should have drivers built in for it, though. If not, ATI may come out with some in the future. But, there is no telling when... Dustin Harper dharper@vistarip.com vistarip.com "ThisSucks"

Windows installs a standarddriver that recognises the card as ATI Mobility Radeon with 16 mb ram. However, it is not able to run e.g. full screen TV as smothly as it was on XP which I guess is due to the lack of a driver capable of allowing the full use of the video card. So I'm truly hoping that you're right, that there will be a release of drivers to this card..."Dustin Harper" wrote:

well, i tried this package but cant seem to make it work with my radeon 7000card... it doesn't contain a specific driver for 7000 so are you sure this one can be used? thanks in advance, rune"awbachorski@earthlink.net" wrote:
