Is driver for Radeon HD 4870 updated since 10.6.8?

I wonder if the driver for the ATI Radeon HD 4870 that came with my MacPro Nehalem (4.1) is updated for Mountain Lion.
Currently I work with Snow Leopard.
I have trouble with Photoshop files being destroyed from time to time.
The MacPro Nehalem 4.1 was at service several times.
Graphic Card exchanged 2 times (Radeon HD4870 again).
Logic Board exchanged.
Now again problems...
The GPU set to normal, it will happen - not often and not repeatable, but lets say every 1-2 weeks, I have a file - quite complex 1-4GB 20-50 layers .psd or .tif (LZW) files.
Sometimes it results in only one destroyed layer but often it will affect all layers at once.
At the moment I set GPU usage to basic and wait what happens.
(In one case the destruction happened in a smart filter.
After rerendering it was gone - but only in this single case.
But this made me think it is for shure the GraphicCard.)
Maybe it is the driver.
I searched for updated drivers but ATI does not support drivers for the card for Mac.
So, that is why I ask, if the driver is updated in Mountain Lion...
Any information welcome...
Michael

Installation of ATI driver for Radeon X1300, X1400, V5200 graphic cards on Windows 8.1

Dear Thinkpad users. After many failures and zero support from official resources, this is a comprehensive, unbiased installation procedure for the official ATI driver with Catalyst Control Center for Radeon X1300, X1400, V5200 graphic cards on Windows 8.1. In my experience, the latest driver for these cards written for Windows Vista 32-/64-bit works flawlessly on Windows 8.1 and you will benefit from multi-monitor support, full HW-acceleration and the PowerPlay option in Catalyst Control Center as well. Install only the official ATI driver, no other modification required. (The installation may work also on non-Thinkpad systems, such as Dell etc. but I have not tested it on that systems)
Installation procedure:
1. Before installation, ensure you are logged as an administrator
2. Go to ‘Control Panel’ -> ‘Power Options’ and click on ‘Choose what the power buttons do’ option from the list on the left side of the window
3. Go to ‘Shut-down settings’ on the bottom and disable ‘Turn on fast start-up (recommended)’. Unchecking that checkbox is very important because it will prevent the problem with start-up black screen on the computer.
4. Go to ‘Control Panel’ again and choose ‘Programs and Features’, then click on ‘Turn Windows features on or off’
5. Select the checkbox ‘.NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0) to turn it on and wait until the installation is completed
6. Go to Windows update and install all important updates including those for ‘.NET Framework 3.5 as well
7. Download ATI video driver from the website of your hardware vendor. For Lenovo Thinkpad T60, T60p users the latest ATI video driver is for Windows Vista (32-bit, 64-bit), please visit http://support.lenovo.com/ca/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-t-series-laptops/thinkpad-t60... and download the driver
8. Once you have the driver downloaded right-click on the file and choose ‘Properties’ from the drop-down menu.
9. Click on ‘Compatibility’ card then ‘Change settings for all users’ and check in the checkbox at ‘Compatibility mode’ with the option for Windows Vista as well as at ‘Run this program as an administrator’
10. Double left-click and install the program.
11. Go to the location ‘C:\drivers\WIN\VIDEO and open the file ‘Bin’ (for Windows 8.1 32-bit users) or ‘Bin64’ (for Windows 8.1 64-bit users)
12. Right click on ‘Setup’ file; choose ‘Properties’ from the drop-down menu and repeat the step 9
13. Once you have set the properties, double left-click on that file and install the driver
14. Follow the installation instructions and finish the installation
15. Restart the computer
cheers

It seems that the HD 6490 (without M) is officially supported by fglrx: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Hardwa … _Supported
Archlinux has an AUR package containing the official Catalyst driver for AMD cards: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29111
You could try that.

Printer driver for workforce 645 was updated yesterday and printer no longer works, driver is no longer available from apple or epson.l

When i go to the epson website it says the printer driver is available from apple. When i go to the printer selection it sees the printer but says that apple has no drivers for this printer. In the updates section of the app store it shows that the printer driver was update yesterday.

If you're sure you tried all of these steps and the issue persists, contact Apple technical support

T41 Video driver for Windows 7

The current version of the ATI Display Driver for Windows 7 32bit does not work properly on my system Windows 7 Where to find good support for ATI Mobility 9000 and 3D Accelerator

Welcome to the forum!
There is no official W7 driver for Radeon 9000, since your GPU is considered too weak to run that OS. You'll have to search the web for a modded driver.
Hope this helps.

Missing Driver For Video Controller

my laptop's model no. is toshiba satellite pro l510. I have windows 7 installed in my laptop . my videos on my laptop was working fine till yesterday but sudeenly my vlc crashed and other video players were also crashing so i tried to update the display driver but couldn't so i unistalled it . But now i'm trying to reinstall it but the driver is not installing . also in the device manager i am unable to find the display adapter icon. and i'm getting a yellow colour icon in my other devices option in the device manager saying video controller (vga compatible)when i'm double clicking it , it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver" i'm not able to find the right drivers for my laptop . alll the drivers i've downloaded are not installing or hasn't heldped. plzz help..

The CRC mismatch error means a system file or a registry entry doesnt match what windows or the driver is expecting. In some cases a simple chkdsk or a registry cleaner will solve the problem and in some cases a full restore is needed. Click the start button.Right click my computer.Select Properties -> Tools -> Check Now -> Start -> Schedule Disk Check -> Next Boot -> Restart PC I would also advise running a registry cleaner like ccleaner to check for errors.http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner Regsitry Tab -> Scan For Issues -> Wait until done -> Fix Selected Issues. While you are in there you should go ahead and run the regular cleaner to, but thats up to you.Cleaner -> Run Cleaner

Need updated AMD Radeon HD 6630M driver for Windows7

Hi,
I am trying to update my new Macmini running Windows 7 64bit, with updated AMD Radeon HD 6630M drivers and Catalyst.
Everything is working well, but I can't install AMD Catalyst Mobility, as the version from AMD says that my computer doesn't contain the proper graphics.
Note: the reason I need the Catalyst is to adjust the image on my 55" LCD screen, as it is not streched to cover the entire screen.
Any help??

I used this driver package too, but I had after the installation of the AMD Drivers a Black Screen, and I could'nt read anything.
Then I solve this problem!
And here are my steps:
1. Download the driver package http://leshcatlabs.net/index.php/2012/11/catalyst-12-10-whql-unifl-for-amdintel-graphics/
2. I have installed it and I made a desktop-icon for the amd Installer.
3. Then I go to the Device Manager and then I clicked with the right-click on the ATi Radeon HD5650 and then I choose
"Update Driver Software...". After this then comes a windows with two messages. I have chosen the Second One "Browse my computer for driver software". Then put in the location of the driver from the installed downloaded package. The Standard location is: C:\Drivers\Catalyst_12.10_WHQL_UnifL\Packages\Drivers\Display\W86A_INF
4. Then click on "Next" and then comes a message that a driver wants to get installed, install it.
5. After this then comes the "Black Screen". Now take your finger and press the Display Change Button: |O|
Press the button 3 times and press Enter after this if you don't see your desktop do this step again.
6. Then If you have a picture do step 5 again and now you must look very well because now the desktop is very dark and you can't make the brightness better.
7. After this close all windows but before you could maybe see that the driver for the ATi Graphic Card is successfully installed.
8. Now click on the desktop-icon which called "Run Catalyst 12.10 WHQL UnifL Installer"
9. Run this Installer and then install it and don't make an update. Now choose a "user defined" installation and check if
all important things are would be installed (so far if you can read it).
10. Click on Next and Installation begins. While or after the installation you get now your desktop with a correct
brightness.
I hope it solve your problems

No T60p Radeon FireGL 5250 driver for Win 7??

My T60p has the ATI Radeon FireGL 5250 card in it (standard). But there is no Windows 7-compatible driver for it, from Lenovo or ATI. Have to run Win 7 in Safe Mode. Upgraded from Vista Business to 7 Professional.
Why are there Win 7 drivers for other FireGL cards in T series laptops but not the 5250?? This really sucks, since the laptop is barely 2 years old. Called support, no help, no idea if/when a driver will be released. Told me they were a subcontractor and frankly didn't know anything. Nice.
I have tried to change the theme to a non-Aero one but that makes Windows Explorer crash. In fact, just about any action outside of running in Safe Mode makes Windows Explorer crash...programs won't run outside Safe Mode.
Does anyone have any ideas for a workaround, perhaps another driver that will make the 5250 work with Win 7?
Thank you.

I have a T60p as well (model 8744-C9U). Initially, a video driver was not detected for mine either, but after running Windows Update after the fresh install, a driver for the FireGL v5250 was found.

UEFI (unified extensible firmware interface) boot requires Global unique identifier Partition Table (GPT) as opposed to the older Master Boot Record (MBR). If your existing drive is formatted in MBR, you will need to adjust BIOS settings to enable legacy boot in order for it to work properly.
Is there a performance difference between GPT and MBR? If GPT is better, I do not mind formatting the drive with it.
5. No special drivers are needed.
Thanks. What about the thunderbolt port?
7. I think Lenovo estimates 6 hours.
Lenovo says 6 hours with the 6-cell battery on its website.

Hi,
There was a serious BIOS/UEFI problem with that SSD . Perhaps this thread will save you some headaches. Someone is recomending shutting off Rapid Boot in the setup, which would probable mean little with a SSD, anyway.
I read through this, and it looks like the problem was fixed in a BIOS update, which I plan to do. However, it also seems like Intel Rapid Start is not even worth it in the first place, as sleep consumes almost no power at all.

The new driver for Epson 50C20D are on the list of update available drivers on the OS X wen site yet trigering "Software Update" does does detect I need it... Why is that? Thanks

Thanks Mende1. The printer is there and installed allright. Even shows as "idle" until I try to print to it. The driver version shows 6.36 and I ned to update to 9 which is only avail from the App store... However, the app store don't detect I need it..

The Radeon 9000 driver works for the Radeon 7500 card. I have successfully used it on a T43 with Vista Ultimate x86

Unfortunately no. The Radeon 9000 driver should bring your graphics score up to close to 2, but it will not get it high enough to enable Aero support.
