    Re: Ati Catalyst 8.8 released

    I wonder if this release will work with the Gigabyte 780G based motherboards?

    I think the last working version for them was 8.5.

    EDIT: Gigabyte still have 8.475 on their download page.

    Installed here though this is on a new 4870 and first driver but seems ok

    Got to say Ati tray tools beta is great as it allows for a fan profile

    Are you sure that's not just Gigabyte failing to update their drivers page?

    Re: News - AMD launches Catalyst 8.8 drivers

    Probably.

    However there are lots of people using the Gigabyte boards on MediaPortal systems, and the last couple of releases have caused big problems for them. reverting back to 8.5 and everything seems to be fine again. I believe this is XP rather than Vista too.
