hi guys, my dad's pc here has an old ati 9800 pro with 256 ram, and it has a problem with blender when in textured object mode, in that it fails to select objects, but has little or no

trouble in solid mode. my brother's old nvidia card doesn't have any problems that we're aware of with blender. iirc both cards have recent driver versions (last updated before

we lost our broadband a couple of months ago)

does anyone know if newer ati cards have any problems with blender? we're thinking of getting an ati 4870 1gb ram.

kat suggested the following on his forum, although I haven't had a chance to test this yet:

Quote:
That problem sounds familiar... could be the result of a 'dirty' install. Try uninstalling and cleaning out the previous drivers - uninstall the drivers and the hardware

device from Device Manager. Reboot and let the PC find and use the default device (800x600 iirc). Once it does that, shutdown and bootup *then* install the new drivers.

ATI drivers normally have no problem just overwriting the old drivers. I haven't uninstalled an ATI driver in years & have had no issues.

I've used a 9600, 1900 (something in that line, not 100% sure which one, but a nice one) & have a 3850. Never any issues with anything. Blender runs great.
