which driver is needed for the video card

hey, i was wondering which driver does the 9200 have to be on for the game to work, right now i think im running my video card on a catalyst 5.6

theres a couple new 1's released but i dont know which 1 im supposed to get
can u help me?
 
Thank u God

Thanks u a lot i ve the same problem than u ive search also hours to get that problem THANK U can u tell me what i have to do at last :angel:
 
In theory latest catalyst drivers are always the best in terms of performance although they do sometimes cause problems particularly with older cards. I use catalyst 6.1 with a Radeon 9250 myself without any problems. 6.3 is the latest version Get it here: https://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=640
You'll need Microsoft .net framework 1.1 which is included in the full catalyst package for which you'll need either broadband access or the patience of a saint on dial-up.Technically this Catalyst is only supposed to support cards X700 or higher but it should still work. Confirm your current driver in case you need to revert to it.
 
BF2 won't run

The first post above from Rodex describes my problem. But, when I try to change the AGP to 4x, it won't work. The box isn't able to be changed from the ATI Control Center. I'm not sure how to change it another way. Help??
 
The 9200 can run BF2 just fine. My dad's PC has a JetWay Radeon 128MB 9200SE and 1GB of RAM. He runs BF2 on the lowest settings with no lag at all. Plus it has a 1.7 Ghz P4 processor, so I don't think anybody needs to upgrade(except for RAM), unless they wanna play games with all the eye candy and all(like I do). But it did have this problem before, where it used to freeze when he was in the game and he tried to go to the menu by pressing Esc. But thats gone after I formatted his HDD and re-intalled the game.
And mailpup, the list of cards that comes with BF2 is crap. Check out I'm putting it straight from the readme file:

help still

How do you set you AGP from 8x to 4x in the Catlyst Control Center program? I click Smartgart on the left side of the screen... and in that panel there is the AGP settings, but it is greyed out. I can't select anything in it. Also, I don't know how to do it with BIOS, I don't see it listed on there to change the AGP from 8x to 4x.

I'm not sure how to format the HDD either^^
 
american*****, that pic u posted tells me that u don't have the latest Catalyst drivers installed. U need to have Microsoft .NET Framework and Catalyst 6.3 drivers. That would guarantee best performance and make ur job easier.The links have been given above by notcorn. I'm telling u this bcoz my Dad uses those drivers and he hasn't had problems thus far.
Ydobon, maybe the options on ur screen are greyed out because ur card might be a PCI? Could u post ur system specs?
 
i mknow youre problem

Well, can you play BF2 with a Radeon 9250 and these system specs?:
And it's a PCI card^^^


Dell Dimension 3000
Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.00 GHz
512 MB of RAM
 
You should be able to play Battlefield as you have enough RAM a fast Cpu and
I play it with an AGP 9250 myself and it runs quite well.
 
PCI cards don't respond kindly enough to new games like BF2 unfortunately. So I think a PCI card will most likely not run BF2 at all and even if it does run it, in the end, it will tax the card so much u might end up with a dead one. notcorn says that he has an AGP card but AGP cards behave differently from PCI ones, the latter being the worse performer. SO I think an upgrade is in order.
Just to make a point, I'm posting this link. Check it out and decide for urself.

This is very pointless ,,

That card will run dat game and all games in slow motion,

You can try reducing graphics detail ,, but still your in a hole with dat thing,
 
Mind your own business and don't go shooting your mouth off. They were trying to make the best of what they had, so they don't need u to tell them that the card is outdated coz they already know that. Plus, the last post is almost 9 months old.
 
You're completely right Rage.
Perhaps you (tweakboy) need to check the last post's date.
 
HEY i need HELP
i got a Radeon 925 and BATTLEFIELD 2 doesnt work, wen i click on it, it just shows like a black screen

my system specs:
Intel Pentium 4, 2.40GHz
512 of DDR Ram
40GB Hard Drive
Radeon 9250 126Mb Graphic Card

someone please help me so Battlefeild 2 works

Thanks
 
You have hardly enough RAM, but the main menu should at least load. BTW, did you wait for a couple of minutes to see if the game loaded? It might be that or your graphics drivers. Catalyst 6.11 is the only latest ATI driver to support your video card, so download & install that to see if it helps.
 
hey dont worry now my m8 helped me i just need to downlaod and install lastest driver 4 graphic card and battlefiewld 2 update.
 
Your ATI 9250 will get some hiccups, because it is a old card.
You need to have at least 1.0GB to get the better performance out your BF2.
2.0GB for Battlefield 2142.

Plus, did you got the latest DirectX recently?
 
LOL yer all u need is battlefield 2 lastest update and latest graphic card driver and 1gb of ram but i only got 512mb lol then it should work 512mb of ram laggs like **** LOL

Peace
