    Dell's web
    For 1537 - last driver is 8512
    Fir 1535 - last driver is 8533

    We are talking about the same video card, so this drivers both will work.
    Dell just has different update time for 1535 and 1537!
    Most drivers from 1537 will work fine on 1535 :)

    try Vista X 64 Ultimate with limited amount of drivers!
    Modify standard Ati Driver with mobility modder.
    I'm with Catalystic 8.11 without CC - Dell
    Vista X 64 SP 2 - everything is fine

    With Vista, there is no longer any need to mod the Catalyst driver to install via the device manager. In fact, modding the Catalyst driver thereby voiding the WHQL signing, you more than likely will render blu-ray movie playback inoperable if you have the Optiarc blu-ray reader in your Studio...

    Do you load Ati Driver directly from Device Manager?!
    What about ram/gpu clock speed?
    Mobility versions very often are down-clocked versions!
    I'm pretty fine with unsigned driver version 8.11!
    Mob Moder support 3450 perfect!
    CCC will only slow-down your performance by the way!

    I modify original driver from Ati's Web!

    5.561 is 8.12 IMO!
    5.552 is 8.11 in my case!
    Again CCC will only slow-down your performance - by it is individual choose!

    i would like to add some info that when u install the modded drivers(modded by mobility modded)these drivers reduce everything to half like memory bandwith,pixel fil rate,texture fil rate,core as well as memory clock also. checked by running gpu-z . so when everything becomes half the performance automatically goes down.

    Can't say as I've never had to mod since the Vista ATI Catalyst installs just fine via device manager but above is GPU-Z with WHQL signed 8.12 driver on Studio 1735 Vista x64...

    OMG ARE YOU SURE!
    ATI PowerPlay (BIOS)
    State #1 GPU: 500 MHz, Memory: 500 MHz (Boot)
    State #2 GPU: 500 MHz, Memory: 500 MHz
    State #3 GPU: 300 MHz, Memory: 405 MHz
    State #4 GPU: 550 MHz, Memory: 500 MHz (UVD)
    State #5 GPU: 500 MHz, Memory: 500 MHz
    State #6 GPU: 300 MHz, Memory: 405 MHz
    State #7 GPU: 110 MHz, Memory: 252 MHz (Thermal)

    Dell limited HD 3450 to only 500/500!And I reached 500/500 in some games like NFS UnderCover with Modified Ati HD 3450 Driver!
    In normal mode the card stays close around State #7 110/252!
    Now:
    GPU Clock 110 MHz (original: 500 MHz)
    Real Clock 252 MHz (DDR) (original: 500 MHz)

    GPU-Z will show you the same result in normal (110/252) and in game mode (500/500)!
    I have the same result with original driver from Dell's Web!

    I'm sorry but your post is piece of non-sense!

    somms: I tested your method! May be it is just me, but when I manually load 8.12 the colors were somehow more cold!
    So i uninstall all and put back my modified 8.11 :)

    so according to you the decrease in the memory bandwith,memory clock,gpu clock,etc on installing modded drivers is there only during normal work and it reaches back to its best possible level when we play games???plz tell as i am new with this software.is this gpu-z information wrong when above mentioned fields reduces to half????and u can also see from the picture posted by soms that his each field is half of its original value...

    Yes.Only during normal work.And Yes it is pretty normal.
    You can try it on your own.
    Run Everest Ultimate.Go info:
    Display -> GPU
    GPU Clock 110 MHz (original: 500 MHz)
    Real Clock 252 MHz (DDR) (original: 500 MHz)

    After just try to run some HD Movie or someting other!
    Next with HD movies (someting) minimize, jump back to Everest and check GPU/REAL(memory) clock!
    And it makes sense - you don't need your video card on maximum performance all the time.Just thing about its temperature in this case!


    Mkelliny: Today with 8.11 I got "4" "Video" Score!I guess it can vary depend on your system activity!
