The new Catalyst AI controls in control center are extended to Radeon HD 5000 GPUs, these were previously available only to users of Radeon HD 6800 series. Support for new stereoscopic 3D capable hardware was also added.

RejZoRThe question is, how wide is this "pink" problem globally. If there are just 5 such cases and none are reproducible, you can kiss any fixes goodbye. Personally i never had it and never heard of it except in your case. So it's not really a common problem... Best bet would be to get in touch with Terry, though don't expect much.
The problem is there. It all depends if you use the Color Tab or not. If you don't use the color tab then some won't know about it as it's already at default. Besides, the problem is reported to be fix already but not with this new hotfix.

TheMailMan78Wow we are up to "e"? I'm sorry but this is just so much damn fail.

Oh and the link works fine for me.

Edit: Nope. Its dead lol
This is a hotfix to add support, not fix a problem. Remember the issues you all were having running MLAA on the 58xx's, part of that was because they weren't even officially supported. Nothing wrong with a patch just just adds content to make older cards better.

I really don't understand the issue here, these drivers are A) the first for a new series of card and B) adding new features that have never been used before for AMD then C) they are actually adding that support to the past generation of cards rather than just pushing the 68xx's. Thats a lot of new crap for a single set of drivers, usually you don't see that many new features.

Yeah I enthusiastically installed this hotfix earlier today only to find out it's only for Win7 when there was no MLAA check box in CCC. :cry:

EastCoasthandleSorry but I disagree with that line of thinking. If one does find problems they should report them to AMD. How else will they know there is a problem? Being thankful is only beneficial when done in moderation. There are other things a person is capable of doing besides show gratitude. For example the pink tint problem was reported by many. At this point the problem is supposed to be fixed. We are just waiting for them to release the drivers. However, until then if a particular problem effects that individual any other additions to the drivers (MLAA) become moot until their main problem with the driver is fixed (pink tint).
But very few people are having the pink tint problem. Amd is better off using their resources to fix major issues, or optimizing games and apps, than fixing small insignificant problems. I have found ways around problems that I have experianced with AMD drivers. If you want to fix that problem than do it yourself. Don't expect AMD to assist every problem that each person has. They are more concerned about the whole than the few. There is a Star Trek saying, "The needs of the many out way the needs of the few", and I totaly agree with that. If people are having small problems than they should find a way around it, or learn to tweak drivers for themselves. I don't have time to code drivers, and I don't plan on ever doing it because it's not my job, and coding is boring. I'd rather spend the time doing somthing else. I payed for my video card, and I expect AMD to fix major problems, and optimize, but fix every problem no because they have enough things going on already. Also AMD has a smaller development team for fixing/optimizing drivers. Nvidia has a bigger group, and UNFOURNATILY has their hand in more games than AMD. You also have to learn to be patient with drivers because everyone has a different system with different problems, and AMD can't stop the world to fix every problem. YOU CAN NOT EXPECT EVERY PROBLEM TO BE FIXED! ALSO BETA DRIVERS ARE NOT FINAL PRODUCTS AND THE FINISHED WHQL CERTED DRIVER MAY HAVE THE PROBLEM FIXED!!! SO BE PATIENT!!! I had issues with New Vegas running like crap. I complained, but I didn't stop playing the game because of problems, or tell everyone and expect Bethesda to fix it right away. Now they have fixed it because I was patient, and the FPS is the game is way better because they fixed DX problems, and AMD has made some fixes. All I can say is be patient, and try to find a solution. Google it!

I've had all kinds of problems with W7 on my machine when I first put it on. People think 7 is the best thing ever. Welp not for every one. I have no issues with vista. Best os I've used so far.

I stop reading at this point as your post is a tad diatribe and irrelevant. And it's obvious you are unaware of the full situation. LOL, in any case the issue has already been addressed by AMD according to the beta tester. We just don't know which driver build will be used to address it. Not sure how you missed that in my previous post.

People need to realize that Vista, XP are dead. XP is losing support officially and Vista just isn't popular.

Key word here "BETA" not offical. And a quote by you "We just don't know which driver build will be used to address it". Unless you work for the AMD development driver team, or code drivers yourself to fix problems, than don't give people unsignificant irrelvant information.

You are talking in circles as I've already addressed this making your point moot. People are waiting for a fix be it with beta driver or official drivers. So in cases like this no one cares about the driver designation. :laugh:

Oh, I see, it's name calling time :laugh:. Well, when you have to resort to name calling I take it as form of you conceding. The information I've provided is information I've obtained elsewhere. I did say that it came from a beta tester. Something you didn't seem to get per your previous reply.

Sir I did not understand what message you are attempting to convey sorry.

Is it " No, you do not just go with e" or is it "No, you do not, just go with e"
