Im about to give up on my Sapphire ATI 4830 and send it back.
I have tried everything I could to get this thing to work. I just get a crappy picture. Lines arent smooth,Text hurts my eyes, I go into settings and put everything at "Quality" instead of performance and it stays the same. I put it on performance it stays the same. I change resolution and it stays the same (other than the icons getting smaller or bigger)
I have all the newest drivers (ATI) downloaded direct from the website.
I even found a post on here saying to try "Driver Cleaner" and running it in safe mode. I did it according to the instructions and it did remove ALOT of stuff that the "Add /Remove programs" didnt.. and then reinstalled the new ATI package dated June 2009 and still nothing.
My PC sees the card in the ATI software, I see the temp so I know its there and I can change the resolution etc. When I do reboot "windows found hardware" shows up. If I click "auto install" it does nothing. It says it cant install it, yet I see it in the hardware tree and CPUID.
I have never had this much trouble with PC drivers or software.
Im about to send it back and get a nvidia card if I cant figure it out. (my last one was nvidia and it plugged in and worked in 5 minutes)
