• Steam Now Updates AMD/ATI Drivers
    64 replies, posted
Is it suppose to bring me to the site when I click update drivers?
Worked fine for me.
I got a slight FPS boost :buddy:
Steam won't update for me, it thinks my client is up to date :saddowns:
Strange, it just opens Firefox and asks me some stuff. Is this supposed to work that way? [editline]01:12PM[/editline] It seems I'm not the only one having this. I tested it on my laptop, could that be a reason?
it just opens site. such a cool feature. i can open it myself :colbert:
Not sure why it's bringing you guys to AMD's site, it downloads the drivers within Steam for me.
It's all in the client for me, probably a bug with you guys.
If only this fixed the "Failed to create D3D device" problem ;( I don't wanna play my Source games with Dx8 when I'm capable of 11.
Silly Valve, they don't know that ATI doesn't exist anymore. Edit: Oh wait, I'm late.

Well, that was odd. I updated and my resolution changed, I wasn't able to set it back and only a restart solved the issue.
I used this auto update and it fucked up my screen. I had to download the latest drives manually from amds site
The thing when it changes your resolution is not because of steam. All this feature does is check for new drivers, downloads it, then you run it. It's the same as going to the site and getting new drivers, this just does it for you. Also it always changes back for me.
My resolution always changed whenever I installed nVidia drivers. But it doesn't do that for ATI drivers, which is good because then I don't have to organise all my desktop shortcuts again.
Agh, this messed up my settings. Now I have to go and fix it.

I want Nvidia to do the same thing.
While Steam did not successfully install the latest drivers, after manually installing them I got a [i]very[/i] noticeable performance increase in Bad Company 2.

Im getting sent to the website too

[QUOTE=Dr.HAXXXX;24848252]Its not ATI anymore its now called AMD Graphics Product Group, its kind of sad I liked the name ATI[B]. [/B][/QUOTE] I dunno AMDGPG has sort of a ring to it if you say it fast enough :v: I agree though ATI was better.
I updated my drivers through Steam, it crapped my resolution but restarting fixed it, I also noticed an FPS increase, now I can play with Anti-Aliasing on!
Apparently BC2 seems to be working even worse than before. Maybe it increases performance on high details, but not on lowest, because I prefer performance over visual quality. But still, I have to check TF2 or Crysis yet.
[QUOTE=Wormy;24941083]This takes me to the site, but it might happen because i got an old Nvidia gpu. DirectX 7 with shader model 1.0. Rate me funny, go ahead :smithicide:[/QUOTE] [highlight]AMD/ATI[/highlight] drivers.
This is pretty cool. I just updated my driver via this and for some reason my system crashed after about 15 minutes from the installation. I think it just needed to be restarted but I would have thought it would have told me this. vOv
I know this is kind of old, but I have a question. I've been trying to update my drivers but it doesn't seem like it's going too well. For one, I don't have the option "Update AMD Drivers" under the steam tab. All I see is "Check for Steam Client Updates..." and "Check for Video Driver Updates...". When I click on the second option, it just takes me here. [url]http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/Pages/index.aspx[/url] What am I doing wrong?
