Best video driver for ATI Radeon 9000 pro?

Just rebuilt my MCE from scratch to get around an annoying skipping in the
frames every 1/2 second or so.

Skipping is gone, but picture looks just a little fuzzier than it used to. Is
there a good driver I should be using for this?

It's currently using the native Windows XP driver for it. I let windows
update pull an update, but that one was not compatible - MCE wouldn't start
then, so I rolled it back to this one again.

Figured before I spend all night trying different drivers and rolling back,
I'd see if someone has a good site for ATI Radeon 9xxx card drivers for MCE.

thanks!

 

ATI just recently released new Catalyst drivers(4.8 I believe is the version
number) at their Web site for their graphic/video cards.

 

I think that's the one I tried before I rebuilt the system, and it gave me
the incompatible video error and I had to roll back from that as well.

But I'm watching a DVD tonight, and the DVD is as crystal clear as always on
my 60" HDTV - so it's a good bet I'm not dealing with just a video issue
here.

I wonder if the things I tested today from cable just had bad feeds or were
just not good quality in the first place. Will have to spend some more time
with the different channels tomorrow. I can't believe that the DVD could look
this good while the TV would stink because of a video driver.

 

TV would not "stink'" because of a video/graphics card driver but it could
"stink" because of a poor MPEG2 video encoder associated with your TV/Video
capture card or the good/better/best" PQ setting you have selected for
recorded programs.
