So i tried the 3850 AGP with Catalyst 13.4, but a friend told me to install 8.12 version. Supposedly they offer best performance by far.
The issue is that im trying to install 8.12 XP 32bit driver package, and it never recognizes the GPU, so it never installs the drivers. With 13.4 it didn´t have any issues. Any ideas? Any specific 8.12 catalyst for XP32bit for 3850 AGP?
Thanks in advance.

You might want to search the forum and see what has been posted in the past about the 3850 and other AGP Radeon HD cards. Definitely something that has been covered a lot over the decades 😀

Take your pick: http://radeon.ru/drivers/amd/xp

There are some modded drivers without Catalyst Control Center bloatware.

I must be some kind of standard: the anonymous gangbanger of the 21st century.

Thanks guys. 8.12 hotfix ones, seemed to be the best!

Morning all.
I was wondering the same thing myself so I did a video on it. Thanks to Serpent Rider for that link - very useful list of drivers! Anyway - here are my findings:

Essentially, either the 8.12 or 9.12 but if they perform rubbishly in games try 12.6. At least that's what I found 😀
