sapphire 6850 drivers

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

what is the most stable/latest drivers for this card ? dl links anyone ? :thup:

Cigarsmoker · Apr 9, 2012

Been using the latest 12.3 driver from AMD without any problems on two systems with 6870. I take it your system is not agreeing with AMD's latest drivers?

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

i think 12.3 only supports crossfire wont work with any 6850

Cigarsmoker · Apr 9, 2012

No that's not true, it's a unified driver set. It'll work with a bunch of cards and setup.

Seriously, the best and practically only place to get AMD drivers is from AMD.

12.3 doesn't work. i cant install it tried several times yesterday.

EarthDog · Apr 9, 2012

Try 12.2 then. There shouldnt be any reason the 12.3 drivers will not work with your card.

Cigarsmoker · Apr 9, 2012

Well that sucks the big one. Might it be conflicting with Virtue and the integrated GPU? Don't know just trying to help.

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

anything past 12. wont work. the only driver i got to work is 11.2-11.5 im using 11.2

Yeah, thats a problem, but it isnt in the drivers. Have you tried getting in to safe mode and wiping out all AMD drivers with Driver Cleaner Pro (its free)?

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

actually i tried all the methods ive seen. like uninstalling it from the install manager. going to safe mode using driver cleaner. still no success. idk why. btw i have the sapphire 6850 dirt 3 edition

I've had 12.3 since release.
Did you get the drivers from AMD, or did you go to Sapphire's site? I had an AGP 3850 from Sapphire, and occasionally one of their download links wouldn't download the entire installer, causing it to fail.

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

let me re download and try again

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

well i just installed i think its working but CCC wont open no matter what i do

rescuetoaster · Apr 9, 2012

Just so I'm clear, you got the driver from AMD right?

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

i got the driver from AMD now im downloading the driver from SAPPHIRE. try and try until you die.

EarthDog · Apr 9, 2012

Does its icon show in the taskbar thing by the clock?

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

earthdog nope i disabled it on msconfig. let me enable then restart ill get back to you

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

earthdog im back with no luck. now im gonna uninstall drivers from ati. go to safe mode use driver sweeper. and install the one i downloaded from sapphire.

EarthDog · Apr 9, 2012

Its literally the same install package. Go ahead. But something is messed up on your system side if these things are not installing. Personally, Its OS reformat time IMO.

c00l3st · Apr 9, 2012

now ccc is working. but i got an error on sapphire saying that AMD ultra low power state is enabled for this CF configuration,
Overclocking a UPLS card will crash the system.
Go to settings then disable ULPS..................

PS it was a successful install just but double clicking the installer package from Sapphire. i didnt run it as administrator.
