Question for my fellow ATI 4850 users.

<p>Well, I bought a ATI Radeon HD 4850 a few weeks ago, and just resubbed to EQ2 yesterday, drooling with anticipation on how the game would look.</p><p>Load up everything, but for some reason, I have my graphics set to High performance, and the game is sometimes choppy. Thinking this can't be right, I came to these forums in search of answers.</p><p>I was looking through some threads, and a fellow poster commented on how ATI released a hotfix for the 4800 series, which would increase stability and performance. The link is <a href="http://support.ati.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=894&task=knowledge&questionID=35298" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">here</a>. </p><p>After I downloaded them all, I noticed two weird folders that popped up that were a bunch of random numbers and letters. They both showed up in my C drive.</p><p>They kind of have me paranoid, but maybe I did something wrong during the install? I just downloaded the file and ran it, without uninstalling anything.</p>

<p>first of all, download catalyst 8.7, <a href="http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html</a> </p><p>then it would be nice to know the rest of your system, if you have a slow cpu its most likely because of that the game is choppy, as this game is highly dependant on your cpu.</p><p>the folders i dunno about, maybe some temp folders that didnt get deleted? </p>

Thanks for the reply, but it seems that hotfix fixed my performance issue.
