    A quick search on the ATI support site gave me a hit on the 12.1 drivers...supposed to have a fix for Windows7 users of DX9 mode in Dirt2, amongst other fixes. Perhaps it will address issues for FFXI as well.

    Ulitmateily, this is where you will need to go for help on these newer cards--the card manufacturers need to fix their drivers for DirectX backwards compatability in Vista/Win7. That is the problem, how the drivers are working with the older DirectX.

    All SE can really do to remedy that is to change how they implemented DirectX...as in a rewrite of the wrapper. Don't expect that to happen anytime soon. It MIGHT be tweaked when SoA comes out, who knows...at any rate it would be a big change and will take some time to pull off, if they plan to do it.
