Is driver for Radeon HD 4870 updated since 10.6.8?
I wonder if the driver for the ATI Radeon HD 4870 that came with my MacPro Nehalem (4.1) is updated for Mountain Lion.
Currently I work with Snow Leopard.
I have trouble with Photoshop files being destroyed from time to time.
The MacPro Nehalem 4.1 was at service several times.
Graphic Card exchanged 2 times (Radeon HD4870 again).
Logic Board exchanged.
Now again problems...
The GPU set to normal, it will happen - not often and not repeatable, but lets say every 1-2 weeks, I have a file - quite complex 1-4GB 20-50 layers .psd or .tif (LZW) files.
Sometimes it results in only one destroyed layer but often it will affect all layers at once.
At the moment I set GPU usage to basic and wait what happens.
(In one case the destruction happened in a smart filter.
After rerendering it was gone - but only in this single case.
But this made me think it is for shure the GraphicCard.)
Maybe it is the driver.
I searched for updated drivers but ATI does not support drivers for the card for Mac.
So, that is why I ask, if the driver is updated in Mountain Lion...
Any information welcome...
