Where to find latest ATI drivers?

January 3, 2006 1:31 PM

ATI's drivers webpage is down today (probably because of the new World of Warcraft 1.9 patch)... does anybody know where I can find the latest ATI 5.13 drivers WITHOUT Catalyst Control Center (I think it's bloated crap heh)?

Guru3d has a good archive, but I can't help you with 5.13 without the horrible .NET control center. I finally gave up and installed the damn thing.

It's annoying... you'd think companies would have mirrors by now to deal with single point outages. Anyways, I can't use the Catalyst center, 'cause it takes up way too much RAM and takes over a minute to load whenever I want to load the display control panel. Thanks anyways though Nelson... anybody else please?

Don't know where you can find it, but if your goal is simply to not install it, then you can run a Custom Install and uncheck the Catalyst Control Crap.

Another option is to go ahead and install it - but then run msconfig and uncheck it on the Startup tab. That way you can still have it available to run, but it won't loaded all the time wasting 40+ megs of RAM for no good reason.

You might want to give Omega Drivers a try. I've been using them for a while now with no problems.

I second Omega Drivers. They've been really useful in getting CoH/CoV to work on my PC.
