[Win8.1] ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 on Windows 8.1 / 64 bit

As I wanted to use an older Notebook with ATI Radeon Xpress 1250 Graphics Chip, I needed to get an recent driver.
Sadly, ATI/AMD does not provide drivers for Win 8.1 / 64 Bit for this old chips.
However, with Digitalflem you can create your own “old/new” Driver:

1.) Download the ATI Catalyst 10.2 Windows 7 | Vista (64-bit) legacy driver, start the installation and abort it - so you got the files unzipped
( i.e. from http://downloads.guru3d.com/ATI-Catalyst-10.2-Windows-7-%7C-Vista-%2864-bit%29-download-2478.html )

[Win7] ATI HD6870 + Mjölnir 1

I recently bought an ATI HD6870, replacing my old and very noisy and hot HD2900XT+.
As far as it seems it was an really good idea, as the new graphics is just awesome in performance and price (~180€).
By the way, I would recommend the Sapphire “Not-Reference” Model which comes with an special cooler - and is damn quiet.

And another thing: ATI brought out an Preview of the new 11.4 Driver called “Mjölnir 1” which does improve overall performance.
Its not stable yet, but maybe you want to check it out: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/Catalyst114earlypreview.aspx
( Windows 7, Vista Only )
