AMD Releases Catalyst 10.4 Preview, Fixes Bad Company 2 Issue for Radeon HD5000 Users - Page 2

cadaveca · Apr 16, 2010, 03:05 AM

And boy, do they EVER!!! less than 5 seconds per map, for me, now. Used to be one of the last entering the server, tonight through 6 rounds on 3 servers, I was first every time.

I had taken out a building, and a MCOM station, before the other team even had 2 spawned yet.

Awesome stuff!

Marineborn · Apr 16, 2010, 03:34 AM

wow nice drivers only problem i encountered is it wont load up just cause 2 now, im reinstalling hopefully that will fix it, but the load times have gotten wicked fast about 5-9 seconds and bam son im capturing flags well all the usless snipers spawn on the other team and hide in there litlte hidey holes

Well sort of, but NVIDIA DX10 was fine, while ATI DX10 is still slow. 2-3 minutes though sounds really bad, didn't take nearly as long with 10.3 cat.

Might take a while to fix, not really that many DX11 NVIDIAs out there and all of them aren't playing BC2 either

douglatins · Apr 16, 2010, 01:10 PM

nice no more flickering, and 10 sec less loadings

Mussels · Apr 16, 2010, 02:03 PM

loading takes me 1-2 minutes, running DX10.1 i assume.

That would be why nvidia dont load slow, they dont run 10.1 - they run 10.0

Cant wait for its release

DEFEATEST · Apr 17, 2010, 04:10 AM

So this is a problem with the 5000 series cards and dx10 and dx 11? I run a 5870 on xp and the load times are pretty fast for me. Like 30 seconds. I always thought it was smoking fast compared to bf2.

you run DX9 on a 5870? dear god, lol.

Its a game issue with DX10.1 and DX11. drivers can fix this issue somehow.

Yeah, that is smoking fast compared to bf2, but w/ these drivers load times are reduced to <10 seconds.

Scrizz · Apr 17, 2010, 07:43 AM

they need to come out with the 4k version

the 2GB address space limit, the fact you have a DX11 card and can only use DX9.0C (skipping 10.0, 10.1 and 11 games)

DEFEATEST · Apr 17, 2010, 11:42 PM

Well aside from maybe Stalker expansions , I don't think I've missed much in the way of DX 10 or 11 gaming. I hope I'll be impressed by bad company dx 11....... I just got a windows 7 and looking forward to installing it. And as for 2gig space limits, my games all run just dandy @ 2560 X 1600 thank you!

Even under multiplayer? to me Gaming should be tested in Multiplayer mode as usually there is way more activity going on.
