Not so sure thats a driver issue M8. TBH that looks to me like a hardware issue. Maybe RAM.

I say this from a HUGE amount of experience with Photoshop.

I had update my above post with a healthy 9.2 image.

Not so sure thats a driver issue M8.

You are welcome to visit me , and check the system if you like , i will offer free coffee :D

Since the new driver fixed the problem, I'd have to think it was a driver problem. I, to an extent had a similar problem with PS and an older set of Nvidia drivers.

Quick question.. I am new to Crossfire, how do I install these? Just install them like I would with a single card?

Maybe the driver helped with some ram allocation or something but I have never seen a driver cause the issue he posted. Every system Iv seen with "scaling" in photoshop has had a bad stick of ram or the GPU itself was crapping out. Once it was a dying CPU but that was a first gen G3 which I don't count. The first generation Blue and whites were trash.

Basically Iv never seen photoshop screw up from a software conflict elsewhere in the system. I can honestly say 99.99999% of the time its been hardware on the fritz.

Thats been my experience anyway.

Okay heres is a run with the 8.12 with the hot fix (best so for my rig).

I have down clocked the CPU to 3.6GHZ from 4.2GHZ for the benchies(GHZ more towards the norm now)

I am running the 4870X2 at stock values 750/900

I did NOT optimise for the following benches (apps open and the likes)

CCC set to Balanced for setting





I will post the Results of the 9.2's to compare with every thing the same ...Be back after an uninstall /sweep/clean/install/benchies/post again.

Those increases are BS. I got 1fps better on average fps. But it's cool that ATI is making new drivers faster now.

Looks like I still need to stay far, far away from crossfire. A single 4870x2 is more than suitable for now. I can't say my 4870s are liking the idea. The poor boys are feeling lonely as hell. I don't have the time to keep on fumbling with CFx anyway. I may try again next month.

Nice change to their download page. Less confusion. I'll try em later.

Same ole error that I received with the 8.11,8.12 with and with out hot fix,9.1 and 9.2 .
This error has yet to mean anything for me ,except I do one more reboot and never ever see the error again.



Next the Benches with the already installed 9.2's

Okay thumbs up so far !:toast:!
With 9.2's for Vista 64
Fur +22

3DM06 + 333

3DM05 +2025


ALL settings and same everything !

These games are working with 9.2's ...I didnt notice a difference ...maybe a little smother....but There was no issue before for me .

Fixed the non-working GPU Scaling and Over/Underscanning of the 9.1's.

DRDNAYes Sir I will tonight after work :toast: I have the HD4870X2 and Vista 64;)
Sure cant be worse than 9.1's as I found lots of little issues and big issues with OpenGL ...

Thank you very much sir!:toast:

Runs awesome!!! I was playing Crysis Warhead DX9 2x AA 1920x1080 and I was getting 34fps average! That's the best I've seen Crysis run for me! Left 4 Dead still runs at 122fps at all times with 16x AA/16x AF, STALKER Clear Sky all maxed 2x AA DX10.1 mode 25-32fps average 1920x1080 on all of them.

I'm freakin loving Crossfire so far :D Definitely gonna do Crossfire from now on. Single GPU setups are teh suck :p

ShadowFoldSingle GPU setups are teh suck :p

no shit .. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I dont know what to think of the Cat 9.2, (Testing n Testing) the 8.10 I've been using are imo way better, but im using a PII 940 Proc and everything has changed....... even down to the ram....... 1T at 4.4.4.10.15 is now working compared to using the 9850 quad processor.
:rolleyes:
I think the 8.10's are way better.:eek:

fullinfusionI think the 8.10's are way better.:eek:

Ok i will speak honest ... :laugh:

Ok i said honest :cool:

Right , so i believe you , the truth are that drivers that come along with the hardware,
most of the times are perfect for it .

You will never see more " power " with any other , the driver is just software .

Software is useful only if there is something wrong with the hardware configuration,
and the software patch comes to cure it .

Not all VGA models demands patches to operate , and personally i think that i do not need any more NEW drivers so to enjoy my hardware .

By reading ppl from this forum , even 8.10 and 8.11 plus 8.12 looks fine drivers to me.
Some people favor more 8.11 , but why not even 8.10 .

I will go to read what its version improves , and i will select the last one who offered the mosts improves for my current hardware , the latest ones looks to be tweaked for newer models , and that does not offer me gain , the opposite happens , i loose !!

ugh...what happened to good oldschool omegas...*sad face*...could always trust the old omegas...im gonna go download these and install...*sigh*

Can someone post on how many opengl extensions this driver has?
Post the results from using opengl extension viewer if you have the time, thanks :)

WOW these came out under the radar and pretty quick.

wow these drivers impress me not, apparently they cannot find my 4870x2....thats hilarous..whateva..

I couldn't have said it better myself. :toast:

use device manager to install them.
