    ^ temper your rage. Nvidia and XP didn't work well together for many years. Google nv4_disp.dll bsod and put some time limits on that search, I don't think it ever got fixed, I think people just gave up and got new nvidia cards, early XP and nvidia were a horrible mix.

    I have a Radeon HD 4870 and I need overdrive for Window 8 (so that I don't have the amazing 65C idle temperature that can only be solved with a lot of fan noise). Where is it? Release it. One time is enough... It's a shame that AMD abandon their customers like that. Be sure that I won't forget this the next time I buy a video card...

    I solved the problem with overscan on my LCD monitor with a Radeon HD 3300 card running Windows 8. And without catalyst drivers.

    A bit is based on this post: http://superuser.com/questions/4583...scan-settings-without-catalyst-control-center

    However change registry key "TVEnableOverscan" from 1 to 0.
    Restart your computer and de overscan on LCD monitor is set to zero. So no more black bars...

    I have HD4870, Win8, 5GB RAM and i7 processor. At he moment I don't have money to buy 6xx or 7xx series card. My video card works flawlessly with all the new games, I don't care about directx11. Where is the support from ATI regarding drivers for Win8? Is this an extortion for the costumers of ATI to buy another card?
    I'll wait couple to see if ATI will update the drivers for Win8. If not, when I save money I'll go straight to NVIDIA. I hate the blackmails!!

    I can understand things get old and dis-continued but I would have hoped that HD4000 (I have HD4830) would be supported in Windows 8. The driver provided here didn't let me do things that I was able to do on Windows 7, so I had to use the Windows provided driver and there is a huge difference. I guess a new card is in the thought, don't know if I will stick with AMD or move elsewhere...
