Drivers for: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4530 series

J0ey · 10-23-2009, 08:52 AM

Hey all i keep getting a message from sims 3 to update my drivers but the only thing i can find are "catalyst control center" updates but not the video card updates

. I also keep getting problem with trees in some games as shown in the attachment, most of my games run fine on high setting apart from a drop in fps once and a while.

Thanks

The latest driver from ATI is HERE
Select: Motherboard/Integrated Video Drivers>Individual Catalyst Components>Windows Vista 32 bit>Display Driver Only

You may have to Modify the driver to get it installed. Use this tool:

Yes the drivers installed fine but im still getting the message telling me to update my video drivers & still getting blocky trees.

A online app called "Can You Run it" Compares Your hardware & software specs to the games requirements and tells you how well you computer can run the game, the app was telling me my GPU was clocked at 1.8 gig. But the catalyst control center is saying i only have 512 mb

Go into device manager and right click on graphics device, properties, driver tab, look at the year of driver and see if it matched with the one that you downloaded.

Are you sure your not confusing the CPU with GPU?

We are very familiar with the site "can you run it", its an excellent site for finding out what games you can run the computer.

According to the specs of the game your card will run it, but the resolution of the card has to be set to a lower setting:

I try'd updating the drivers veva the properties menu and its telling me there is no newer drivers then the ones i have.

Iam reading this right?, "can you run it" is saying i have over a gig of GPU power?.

The video sub-system has 512MB of dedicated RAM. It runs at 500Mhz and the memory runs at 667Mhz triple-pumped.
