Radeon 4600 series

[JAMMAN]

I know, why did I do this?

 

I can't get MC9 to work at all with 64 bit XP, dual monitors and the killer geforce card I had installed.

 

So I stuck a radeon 4600ish in, it works great with duals and mastercam doesn't crash immediately upon opening MC9. HOWEVER now I have the usual ATI headaches, no box on autocursor.... bla bla bla....

 

Is there a driver that might be better than the most recent driver for this card? 4670 in particular, dual monitors, MC9, 64 bit XP pro.

Where's Bullines when you need him LOL?

Is it safe to assume that everyone is soooo over version 9 that nobody knows?

I thought MC9 wasn't supposed to work in 64bit. I never got it to work on my XP64.

[JAMMAN]

Perhaps I got lucky. I believe there were a couple DLL files I had to pull out of the sysWOW64 directory and put in the system32 directory but I got it to work.

I am about to test x4 on a 4650, I will let you know how it handles it. I may load v9 on here for fun. I used to use omega drivers with the old ati cards, but I plan to stick with ati drivers unless needed. Have you changed the performance settings at all? This may help

[JAMMAN]

Well anything at this setting or below the autocursor works. HOWEVER surfaces now rotate choppy, like the early YIM webcam experience.

 

Is there a dual monitor PCIE card I can get for under 200 bucks that will definitely handle MC9 on 64bit XP and cause me no headaches. Hard to tell I guess since I am the only human that has chimed in so far using MC9 on 64bit.

Jim,

 

For what it's worth... I had this card back in the day (V9)

I have had XP64 running with this card also.

 

HTH

I'll pick one up and try it, TY for the tip.

[JAMMAN]

OK problem solved.

 

First I blew up the whole thing. Stopped working completely. Had to replace motherboard and power supply.

 

Then what I had to do is go in to the config file and turn openGL off manually since it was grayed out in the screen/configure area. Now I have autocursor, arrows on chaining, all the cool stuff.

 

So yes, you can run MC9 under WINXP64 with a radeon 4670 and dual monitors. Have a nice day and happy Thanksgiving.
