Windows 7 & Linux drivers for the GV-R467D3-512I
« on: June 30, 2009, 06:55:28 pm »
I wonder if someone can help. I've got one of these cards in my new setup and everything is fine when running Windows XP. The ATI control panel installs and everything seems to be as it should be. Under Windows 7 I only have the inbuilt driver as no specific drivers for this card appear to exist, so I don't have the control panel and I don't know how much of the functionallity is available. I'm not too worried as I'm sure the nice people at Gigabyte/ATi will be releasing Windows 7 drivers sometime after launch, but it would be interesting to know if anyone else has found a full driver suite that does work properly under Windows 7. My main problem, however, is Linux. I'm also runnign OpenSuSE11.1 and it installs the default RV430 driver, which puts graphics on the screen but doesn't appear to have 3D functionallity. I tried the ATi drivers for the HD4670 chipset, but either I did that wrong or i made matters worse as screen scrolling became as painfully slow as it would trying to browse the web using an old 386 PC. The driver also wouldn't uninstall, so I couldn't reinstall it again to see if I'd mucked it up. So, does anyone know of a good driver suite for this card that works under OpenSuSE? Due to the problems I had with the graphics I've reinstalled and left the default driver in place. If it makes a difference I'm running the 64bit version.

Many thanks
