ATI does work, I have a 4670 and it works fine. It is only that ATI have never been great with their Open GL implementation.

Try Boylane's Cool Viewer with a fix for ATI cards in http://my.opera.com/boylane/blog/ as it makes a big improvement to the frame rates you get from ATI cards.

@Jonvic

You should report that on my blog, I can only guess if things work and what not as I run blind without an ATI card but Nvidia ;). But I'm happy it worked for you.

Ok Lonely, install first the SL viewer, then install the Cool Viewer on top of it. Go to C:\Program Files\SecondLife and start it with "Cool Viewer.lnk" shortcut, not the Secondlife one.

You need to install the Secondlife viewer first, then install Cool Viewer over it and replace all files.

Do you use Vista? Then the directory is different too.

Farewell :)

If you ever want to provide some more details, what OS, what drivers, what viewer version you use perhaps someone would be able to assist you. I for myself think I ignore you. Bye.
