Any help or info is appreciated.

Conversly, if anyone knows how to tell Vista to use proper S-Video for an external
monitor, I wouldn't need CCC at all.

i had trouble installing the latest drivers and give up and done a fresh install of vista and all went ok with the new drivers

[G3D] Catalyst 8.9 Beta ....

link for x32 & x64

!! warning!!
these are Beta drivers & may cause system instability

**phazed** · 09-06-2008

8.8 is working flawlessly... err... without any crash type issues

I built a new htpc for my parents and threw vista business x64 on it for giggles. I got an amd 780 board (radeon 3200 gfx built in), athlon x2 5000+ (BE for lower temps) and.... a radeon 3450 card!

I know, I'm insane... but I wanted to see if the hybrid crossfire would work... and honestly, it does a pretty nice job of it. I don't expect my parents to play Crysis or anything... but if I'm stuck at their place, I can play some older games on their TV

Of course, seeing that ati enabled hybrid crossfire in XP kinda ticks me off... it's pretty tempting to go buy an oem copy of XP MCE for 100$ from the 'egg.

The one odd issue I'm having is that the overscan on vista doesn't seem to work as well as in xp. The tv is native 1080p, but the driver won't use its under/overscan. I have to go and switch the resolution to the "1080p optimized" .. which doesn't quite fill the tv. I have my own htpc next to it with a radeon 3870 (xp sp3/cat 8.8) and it fills the screen 100% at 1920x1080. *grumble*

If anybody is curious, the 'rents htpc config (links):

AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Brisbane 2.6GHz

ASUS M3A78-EM AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G HDMI mATX

ASUS EAH3450/DI/256M Radeon HD 3450

4gb DDR2-800 (laying around) / 750GB Seagate HD / Antec NSK 2400 case / Antec 350w Basiq PSU

The system is -silent- and it's powerful enough to play HD content once you've set up all the correct codecs.

ATI 8.9 WHQL official driver

8.9

''AMD has just issued the ninth update this year for its Catalyst driver software package. Version 8.9, in addition to the usual round of bug fixes, includes a new 1080p @ 50Hz display mode, overclocking support for quad-Crossfire X configurations through Overdrive and OpenGL 3.0 support – which is limited to 10 extensions at the moment, but AMD promises it will “continue to expand support.”
