Drivers

[PewPew]

I'm having a bit of trouble updating my drivers for my Radeon 9550 (I love playing at 9fps).
I followed the instructions to installing it, and I've done it before (I forget how though), and I downloaded it and ran the installer, but when I run dxdiag it says I still have the old version.

Edit: I'd also like to try reinstalling the drivers a minimum amount of times because it makes me uninstall Steam and I lose all my downloaded maps and for some reason now, some of the zombie models in Counter Strike just have big red ERRORs on them.

I follow this method every time I try a new graphics card driver :D

Exactly why you don't get a ATI card, just cheap machine lined scraps from Toronto.

cheap machine lined scraps from Toronto
And what's that suppose to mean? I have an ATI Radeon X1950 Pro and it doesn't give me any trouble. 9550 is just an old driver...

They are constantly outperformed by Nvidia, ATI cards are made in a shit factory in Toronto, I am Canadian but I admit we are bad at making things.

The latest dx10 ATI card failed miserably compared to nvidia's 8800 series.

I did the stuff it said in that link and it still says I have the August driver.

Are you sure you're not just re-installing the same driver then? The file may have a different name but is actually the same driver.

I'm finally back home tonight after what seems like ages away, I'll see what drivers i can find for you.
