Hi,  
I have an ATI Radeon 9200 chipset, and downloaded its latest driver yesterday, installed it, but I still can’t have OpenGL 1.4 or higher, can someone help me? Because I wanted to play star wars KOTOR 2, and I’ve checked its requirement, OpenGL 1.4 or higher is needed for optimal performance. Thanks for your help

Gerry 😕

ATI only supports OpenGL 1.4+ on Radeon 9500 or better hardware.

So, no sorry.

ATI had 1.5 for the past several drivers. Now it’s GL 2.0 (Catalyst 5.3).

An ATI 9500 should be hard to find now. Probably a 9600XT or something is better for 150$.  
That’s the mid range price. If you go lower, you get crap.

Yes, for the 9200, GL support goes up to 1.3  
9500 and up is 1.5  
3D labs Realizm cards and NVidia’s 6x00 are the only ones that are close to supporting GL 2.0 entirely.
