ATI Catalyst 9.11 WHQL Released

i went through the banning thing over there.

made a thread about it here which got enough attention, that i got contacted by someone with contacts over there and got me unbanned - but still, you cant get anything fixed.


its like teh crossfire flickering issue - you bring it up and you just get BS answers "oh try this this and this" - its useless, they dont work and never have. you just get told to TRY something thats never going to work, and then ignored when you say it didnt work.

Heh, yeah, well I'm just saying they should listen to people.

Don't even really care am I banned, if I would wanna make comment out there just proxy your ars and that's it, but considering me going so low as being banned for questioning technical specifications, pointing out errors constantly and supporting where I can I do not even want to go down to their level of idioticy by AMD/ATI forum side.

I know more on technical aspect of different hardware being memory, chipset support person on 'real life' & over 20 years clean experience to not even want to aid their forums while questions which really are issues are all deleted and users who created those questions in their forums in the first place are banned.
 
thanx bta download it now
 
I just DLd it and ran it on my back up comp with XP and a 5770 just to see the dif (the only driver I was able to use was the one on the installation disk which sucked big time)

This one is MUCH nicer, I was able to run Borderlands at 1920 X 1200 with 16AA smoothly.
 
I can't get the drivers to install for my 4850 CF setup in 64bit Win7. Everything but the drivers install. I tried downloading just the drivers and doing a manual install but that didn't go either. So I formatted and installed 64bit Vista and it went fine. Formatted and went back to 64bit Win7 same thing, the drivers won't install.
 
i just tested the catalyst 9.11 vs 9.10, i aborted the review because the resultswere very bad , the 9.11 driver shows 5~15 FPs drop in all games, about 1000 point in 3Dmark Vantage
 
im getting alot of missing textures in borderlands now after installing 9.11's. not too happy with them.
 
Bit of a snake-in-the-grass that new flash beta, because although it supports DXVA2 (vista/w7 only?) to have the GPU accelerate HD content they also sneak in support for DRM'ed flash video (which nicely ties in with MS's 'protected path' DXVA), so you can't save/rip videos anymore if sites wish so.
In other words think twice before you pull that nice big wooden horse into your gates.

Not that I'd advise any adobe beta flash anyway after seeing what holes their released flash already introduced in the past I shudder to think what bugs a beta has.

As for AMD, why do we need adobe to get you to support functionality like DXVA2 exactly?

This reminds me of reading about MS's IE9 plans, which will have multithreaded scripting and GPU acceleration, again they could not think that up 2 years ago, no they had to wait and wait until others thought it up and then only do it as an competitive thing.
But who uses IE anyway, I should not complain too much.
 
dont use the new non-raid ahci amd drivers, they slowed my hdd to 5mb/s compaired to 100mb/s. those things are horrible or I did something extremely wrong.
