Just out of curiosity, can anyone tell if there are updated ATI Catalyst drivers in the 10.5 Boot Camp install? In the Catalyst Control center it says I am still using 7.7 from earlier this year.

Though after playtesting ETQW, it seems the game runs a bit more smoothly (but this may just be in my head).

Using an Aluminum iMac with the ATI 2600 XT Mobility in it.

I'm not sure, but anecdotally some windows games do seem to be running smoother since installing the new drivers (ati x1600 here).

Weird, will playtest more. Can't wait until the OS X version of ETQW comes out so I don't have to waste my time booting into an inferior operating system to play games.

(arguable...personal opinion only)

I have a MacPro with the big Radeon X1900, and I had to download and instal the latest ATI driver on the Windoze side in order to run Quake Wars ET. I was also getting errors in HL2 E2. My advice is to only download the driver (not the whole Catalyst package) as some reported issues with with the package in ET.

I've installed Leopard but I can't see offhand how to burn a new drivers disk without reinstalling Windows, which I wouldn't like to do.

Anyone know whether I'm missing something here? Is there a way of burning the CD without doing everything else 1st?

I did the 10.5 upgrade and also upgraded my Boot Camp install and the new drivers did NOT play well with Team Fortress 2 or Half Life 2. I had to revert to teh older ones to make it work well.

My understanding is that the Leopard install disc is the drivers disc. No need to burn one.

Why would you want those over ATI's own?

Oh! That never occurred to me.

It doesn't look that way - at least in MacOS. Parallels is having a sulk right now so I'll have to wait until I reboot into XP fully to see if there's a sneaky extra partition on there or something

EDIT: Why, yes there is a sneaky Boot Camp partition on there!

But it makes no difference to the notorious 'missing speakers' problem and so far hasn't seen obviously better than the preceding batch of drivers at all..
