Default Best drivers for mobility HD4650

Hi all,

Anyone know what the best drivers for an ATI mobility 4650 are? And where I can find them?

Cheers

The best drivers are probably the most recent ones. You can download them at the ATI website (ati.amd.com/support/driver.html).

Hope this helps!

There are no official ATI drivers for notebooks apart from the Windows 7 beta ones. For that card at least.

So basically you have two options.
Use the "latest" drivers your manufacturer provided you or use Mobility modder to mod the desktop ones so they can run on your notebook.

Thanks for the info guys.

I checked the ATI site and found only the desktop drivers, as you say CoolMinE. So, is Mobility Modder my ony option then? That's a bit ****, no?

Yea has a lot of issues for eg in my case, games dont resize at full screen with most resolutions bellow the native one. We have some modded drivers which resolve that issue if you want to give them a go though

Worst case scenario you can uninstall them and switch back to the old ones if they dont perform better than the ones you have

edit:

Managed to find the post (bit hard without the search function )

1. Download and unrar it.

2. Install the Driver by Disk method, described here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=364393
Locate file: 9-5_win7_64_dd_ccc_wdm_enu\Driver\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF\C7_80269.inf

3. Run setup.exe and install Catalyst Control Center 9.5

This Driver was tested and it works fine with Windows 7 RC1 7100. Good Luck!


Updated for VISTA and Windows7 32 and 64 bit:

Now there is no necessity to use Disk method, all you need to run setup.exe

ATI Catalyst 9.5 Software Suite Vista & Win7 64-bit Mobility:

For Notebook Enthusiasts :

ATI Catalyst 9.5 Software Suite Vista/7 64-bit:

http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads...a7_64-bit.html

And NEW Mobility Modder v1.2.0.0 with support for Windows 7 drivers and fixed problem in driver modification with the 9.2 and higher drivers:

http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
Basically the Vista drivers dont need the have disk method, so basically download the .rar file, extract it. Make sure you uninstall your previous drivers and reboot (usually needs 2 reboots or else you get an error during the installation) and install the new ones using the setup file.
